Another story that hits harder as a parent: the scandalous cover-up of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s disgusting affair in the lead-up to his confirmation as Secretary of Health and Human Services. This roided-out shell of a man is working every day to endanger the lives of children, especially infants, and the elderly.

For that reason, I appreciated the essay “A major Beltway scandal” by Scott LeMieux, which makes the case that Nuzzi’s disastrous roll-out of her tell-all American Canto isn’t just a funny media story, it’s a real scandal that should infuriate us.

The heart of this remains that Nuzzi’s goal was to suppress damaging information about RFK Jr. both to help Trump and to protect RFK Jr.s chances of becoming the Secretary of Child Murder, and she succeeded.
