Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s group Children’s Health Defense sought support from users of the far-right social media platform Gab in 2021, including white supremacists, QAnon conspiracy theorists, and an open neo-Nazi.

Those users have written things including “White people are kings. F--- jews. n--s are animals”; “Against Jewish Control”; and, regarding Nazi Germany: “This is what the Jewish controlled system does not want us to see. When we kick them out and place our value on our own people, we thrive.”

Kennedy is the founder, chair, and chief litigation counsel for Children’s Health Defense, one of the key spreaders of misinformation about vaccines and COVID-19. He is on leave from the group during his presidential campaign. Kennedy has frequently attempted to appeal to right-wing audiences during his run, as evidenced by his campaign site featuring interviews with Elon Musk, Laura Ingraham, Megyn Kelly, and Breitbart News.

Children’s Health Defense has been using Gab to recruit followers since January 2021. Its profile says it is part of Gab Pro, which is a subscription-based program. CHD has posted to the site over 1,500 times and has touted its account as a way to “fight censorship.”

Gab is a social media platform that caters to those deemed too extreme for Twitter and Facebook. Its user base is populated with numerous antisemites, neo-Nazis, and white nationalists. Many of them express hatred toward and issue violent threats against Jewish people. In 2018, a Gab user allegedly killed 11 people at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue.

Here's the kind of people he seeks.

CHD has widgets for 12 different social media platforms on their webpage. Twitter, Telegram and Gettr get full size icons. GAB and 8 other services are listed under an expansion menu.

It is concerning that they offer articles translated into German however. You know who else spoke German...

He seeks Republicans, in other words.

Sounds like he's trying to build a broad coalition of disaffected voters. Considering how many people now identify as independent, I think he has a shot

A shot at winning a Democratic primary against an incumbent president?

Biden's age and health is of concern. Unlike 2020, he will need to debate in the primary.

He has zero chance. Regardless of who they most personally support, the Dems have shown that they understand how the game is ultimately played and they will nominate the candidate that can win in the swing states. And that is most certainly not rfk.

DP. In an indirect way, yes. Weakness against Kennedy may trigger someone like Newsom to jump in before its too late. That's the real threat here.

Unless newson can win the swing states, he also has no chance.

No, he’s not going to debate in the primary.

What do you mean unlike 2020. Biden was in the 2020 debates.

And no, there won't be debates this cycle.

I think maybe you don't know politics?

No it's not. Newsome isn't jumping in this time unless, gd forbid, Biden ISN'T running for some reason.

He's got a real nice history himself, doesn't he?
Actually, his history is kinda like most of the GQP heros.

+1 Even if he wasn’t a conspiracy nutjob, I don’t like candidates with heroin convictions.
