RFK Jr. is a very damaged person.

He NEVER should have been put in any position of influence like he has been. His policies are potentially horrific for this country.

But he probably wasn't born an idiot. He was 14 when his father was assassinated, after his uncle was assassinated when he was 9. He started to abuse drugs. Who knows what brain damage was done by the drugs and who knows what else, on top of the trauma he experienced.

If you give your 6 year old a loaded gun and he shoots you with it, is it the kid's fault?
