Vote no to Robert F. Kennedy and Tulsi Gabbard’s nominations. They are both woefully unqualified and dangerous for the health and wellness and national security of Americans. Public Misinformation and Anti-Science Stances • RFK Jr. has a long history of promoting conspiracy theories and misinformation, particularly regarding vaccines, public health, and environmental policies. His views on COVID-19, childhood vaccines, and medical science have been widely discredited by experts. Entrusting him with a position that requires sound judgment and fact-based decision-making poses a serious risk to public health and policy integrity. Ties to Extremist and Fringe Movements • Kennedy has aligned himself with extremist figures and organizations that promote anti-democratic and conspiratorial rhetoric. His connections to disinformation networks raise concerns about his ability to uphold evidence-based policymaking and national security interests. Unstable and Erratic Positions • RFK Jr.’s positions frequently shift, making it difficult to trust his consistency, credibility, and ability to lead effectively. His lack of political or administrative experience in national security or government operations further weakens his suitability for a high-level role. Foreign Policy Concerns and Authoritarian Alignments • Gabbard has a history of defending and aligning with authoritarian regimes, including her controversial support for Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. She has echoed Kremlin talking points on several occasions, raising concerns about her foreign policy judgment and national security priorities. Lack of Bipartisan Trust and Party Shifts for Political Gain • Gabbard’s frequent shifts in political affiliation and rhetoric suggest she prioritizes personal ambition over consistent, principled leadership. Her attacks on institutions, democratic norms, and longstanding alliances make her an unreliable choice for any role requiring diplomatic leadership or national unity. Extreme and Divisive Rhetoric • Gabbard has embraced right-wing conspiracy theories and culture war narratives, which could further divide the country and damage public trust in government institutions. Vote no to Robert F. Kennedy and Tulsi Gabbard!
