CNN Trolls RFK Jr. With Brutally Accurate Graphic After Contentious House Hearing

CNN's Dana Bash fact-checked RFK Jr. after he claimed not to have said things he clearly said.

CNN anchor Dana Bash didn't hold back when she trolled Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for his racially charged and antisemitic comments about COVID-19.

During CNN's coverage, a fact check countered Kennedy Jr.'s claim he is not "anti-vax." Dana Bash devoted a segment to Kennedy's appearance on Inside Politics, pointing out instances of his "denial and deflection."


The most brutal yet accurate graphic onscreen during Bash's segment read:

"RFK Jr. DENIES HE SAID THINGS HE SAID."

It was a straightforward reminder of Kennedy Jr.'s attempts to backtrack on his own inflammatory, false statements.

You can see it and hear what Bash said in the video below.

Bash said:

"You just heard it. Defamation, distortions, representations, reading between the lines and citing motive, guilt by association. That is how RFK Jr. offers an answer for every accusation."
"But believing him—that he's just a contrarian, that he never spread hate requires ignoring his own words."

Kennedr Jr. was harshly criticized.







Kennedy Jr.'s recent comments led House Democrats to try unsuccessfully to remove him from a hearing on federal government censorship.

They accused him of violating House rules that aim to prevent defamatory or degrading testimony. Kennedy Jr., who is running for President against President Joe Biden, was invited by Republicans to testify at a House Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.

However, Florida Democratic Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz moved to halt the hearing and go into executive session, citing Kennedy Jr.'s "despicable" antisemitic and anti-Asian comments.

One of his controversial remarks suggested COVID-19 was created to be "ethnically targeted" because certain ethnic populations, such as Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people, appear more immune to the virus. Kennedy later claimed he was not accusing anyone of engineering COVID to spare certain ethnic groups.

Wasserman Schultz's motion to halt the hearing was voted down 10-8 due to the Republican majority in the committee. Some Democrats expressed their opposition to hate speech but were outvoted by the GOP push to keep the hearing public.

Even before the hearing started, Democrats tried to limit Kennedy Jr.'s speaking time. They questioned why he should get 10 minutes when witnesses typically receive five minutes.

Kennedy Jr. used his opening remarks to express frustration over Democrats' attempts to censor his speech and his run for the White House. He highlighted that his announcement of candidacy was censored five minutes into his speech by YouTube.

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.

Tennessee Republican Andy Ogles was called out after he shared a letter he sent to Attorney General Pam Bondi urging her to denaturalize and deport New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani over a lyric in a rap song Mamdani released in 2017.

Mamdani ran a campaign centered around economic populism, arguing that the city, a global financial center, has grown unaffordable for everyday residents, citing soaring rents and grocery prices, and outlining policies aimed at reducing the cost of living.
