Almost as if on cue, the Christian Right falls in love with a pro-choice environmental activist and conspiracy theorist

  |  August 24, 2024

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is pro-choice on abortion, an environmental activist, an isolationist on foreign policy, and an indigenous rights advocate. He wants to “seal” the southern border with “high walls” and “high gates.” He also believes that Wi-Fi causes cancer, anti-depressants are to blame for school shootings, chemicals in the water supply turn children transgender, and AIDS may not be caused by HIV. And let’s not forget the worm that ate part of his brain and the bear in Central Park.

Today RFK Jr. suspended his presidential campaign and endorsed Donald Trump for president. It seems a lot of evangelicals are warming-up to the conspiracy theorist. It is worth noting that they have a lot more to say about RFK Jr. than Trump’s recent statement supporting reproductive rights.

Apparently God is using RFK Jr.:

God is going to use this man. https://t.co/pOrCAT3YpV

RFK Jr. must have listened to Metaxas. It was all Metaxas! I knew it! ๐Ÿ˜‰

WATCH! Here's my interview w/RFK Jr. Near the end I push him to consider serving his country by taking a post w/a new Trump administration. It is huge proof of his integrity that he would do what he did today. May God bless him! And may God bless America! https://t.co/pbL0w0jft9 pic.twitter.com/u8mDJKJ9dB

Huck brings the respect:

After meeting & visiting w/ @RobertKennedyJr I have great respect for him. Don't agree on all issues, but he has the courage to call out the corruption in gov't & I'm thrilled he is supporting @realDonaldTrump https://t.co/JiCSuaqWP9

Disgraced Trump election fraud lawyer Jenna Ellis thinks RFK Jr. is “honorable”:

RFK Jr. did the honorable thing today and called out his own party.

If more people on both sides were willing to do this, we may just save America.

MAGA evangelical Darrell B. Harrison says RFK Jr. is a man of “integrity, character, and conviction”:

This is only my opinion, but I think a primary reason many @realDonaldTrump supporters are celebrating the endorsement of @RobertKennedyJr, isn’t necessarily because they think it enhances his chances of defeating Kamala Harris (though it may), but because even to the extent that they may disagree with Kennedy on some issues, they recognize him as a person of integrity and conviction, and because of those reasons, they know him to be well-respected by individuals of varying political persuasions. I believe Kennedy represents what the vast majority of Americans want in their political leaders – integrity, character, and conviction – even if they don’t agree with them on every issue. Kamala Harris has consistently demonstrated that she does not possess those attributes.

Lance seems pretty excited:

BAMA BAM BAM!
Imagine RFK JR going after corrupt Big Pharmaceuticals and ELON MUSK using X and going after big Gov spending and over regulation of companies and TRUMP going after the endless wars and open border and MIKE DAVIS and KASH PATEL going after the corrupt DOJ and FBI. https://t.co/PnpOBjsZOL

They rigged it for Kamala. There was no proper party primary or decision at the convention. Set up by the party bosses at the expense of the people who worked with Kennedy. Now that 6-8% vote will be felt as at least half of it breaks for Trump in AZ, MI, PA, WI, NC, NV and GA. https://t.co/FJbv8eFO9X

Charlie Kirk is also very excited. He will be at an evangelical megachurch near you this weekend to sing RFK’s praises:

This man is a patriot. God bless Bobby Kennedy. God bless America.

Sean Feucht throws his support behind a pro-choice, environmentalist:

WOW.

Now make him director of the CIA next! https://t.co/mb8wNufhMy

A theobro:

โ€œInstead of showing us her substance and character, the DNC and its media organs engineered a surge of popularity for VP Harris based upon nothing. No policies, no interviews, no debates. Only smoke and mirrors.โ€

Gary Bauer seems happy, even though virtually the entire Kennedy family has turned their political backs on RFK Jr.:

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., from the most iconic Democrat family, just endorsed Donald Trump in a blistering speech, ripping the Democrat Party for its assault on democracy and free speech.https://t.co/F3vOFCgPzj

    J.F., not Kennedy JR. or R.K. JR., but you – Monsieur Fea, Protesteth too mucho. I still don’t understand. Your detesting of DJT and so called-

    Christian Right to the point of mocking a smart Political move, is, ridiculous, not to mention- Un-Brotherly, as in- U. B. Non-Adelphoi.

    YO, ANTI-TRUMP, IS MAKING YOU SOME GOOD -Jack- though.

    If, you can in any way believe-Bide or Harris policies are good for the country, then, I will continue to be a long way to the-RIGHT- of you.
