And so, one question for reporters to ask the new Trump campaigner and potential Trump-administration official Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is something like this: The candidate you’re campaigning for, in whose administration you apparently intend to serve, wants our laws rewritten so that drug dealers, particularly those who sell narcotics, face capital punishment. Given that you sold cocaine in your youth, how do you feel about his advocacy of a regime that might have resulted in your own execution at age 19?
Bold of you to assume that anyone who is in the position of being asked these kind of questions will provide any sort of comprehensible answer. Why the fuck would a Kennedy need to sell drugs? I thought they were rich, which is why we’re all forced to listen to this gravelly, ridden-by-brain-worms-then-put-away-wet windbag in the first place.
Ever been around trust fund babies on a university campus? Plenty of them like recreational drugs, and sure as shit aren’t meeting up in a seedy bar bathroom to buy a baggie of dubious quality powder from a local dealer. I don’t think it was so much a need as it was a market opportunity.
To add on. Some of the trust fund babies I knew in college shoplifted Wet ‘n’ Wild cosmetics. For context, these were lipsticks and nail polishes that cost $1 each. It wasn’t so much the financial aspect of it as it was the allure of petty illegality. I guess?
Oh - and if RFK was whining about “crystals growing” inside that straw, he was smoking that cocaine.
He was a heroin addict. His family may have been rich, but if they set up a trust correctly, he would not yet have had control over money.
Listen to the Behind the Bastards podcast episodes on him. They’re VERY well researched and it’s a completely insane story. Way more insane than I already thought he was.
