Demonstrating that there is no low to which the corporate state media will not sink to smear anyone or anything perceived as a threat to the Brandon entity’s re-election bid, Morning Joe had some harsh words for one RFK Jr., independent presidential candidate.
The character assassination attempts over the past year against Kennedy are too numerous to recount fully, but one the most egregious, equal parts absurd and libelous, came last summer when the media went into histrionics about a “Nazi code” the candidate was allegedly using on Twitter.
Via HuffPo (emphasis added):
A tweet from the account of Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Friday used language that many observers say evokes the known Nazi hate symbol “1488.”
A post on the candidate’s official Twitter account used the numbers 14 and 88 in close proximity.
“1488” is a known white supremacist symbol, according to the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center*. The “14” in the symbol is shorthand for the “14 Words” slogan that is popular with racists around the world, while the “88” stands for “Heil Hitler,” since “H” is the eighth letter of the alphabet.

*Imagine being a “news” outlet and deferring to the ADL or SPLC — unabashed and flagrant Deep State/Democrat Party (one and the same entity) smear machines — for authoritative information regarding who is and isn’t a Nazi.
Here’s what defamatory company line MSNBC is pushing more recently:
Donald Trump has worked to reverse so many of the gains made since Martin Luther King’s passing. We showed that extraordinary clip of Bobby Kennedy and here we are… 56 years later, a guy we both know, Bobby Kennedy Jr., running, you know, as basically cover for Donald Trump. It’s not a coincidence that some of Bobby Kennedy Jr.’s biggest contributors are Donald trump’s biggest contributors. So here we are all these years later, and just this twisted path has led us to where somebody named Kennedy is putting himself in the position to elect Donald Trump president, a guy who, whose life now is dedicated to reversing the work of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy.
Note the conspicuous lack of evidence that Trump has “dedicated his life” to “reversing the work” of MLK, or either man’s alleged racism. It’s all innuendo, but that’s all that MSNBC viewers require, after all, so why raise the bar with more legwork?
Nobody, as you can see in the video, performs the aggrieved menopausal Karen routine quite like Morning Mika, Joe’s sidekick and sidepiece. I’m not sure if the acting comes naturally (she is a news actress, after all) or if she practices in front of the mirror alongside Morning Joe when he practices his moralizing monologues.
Another permanent fixture on set is that Joe is flanked for these speeches by some stony-faced “retired” CIA spook or think tank goblin looking on in abject indignation at the state of the country he has so bravely sought to undermine and weaken from within for his entire career to install an unaccountable permanent bureaucracy that persists regardless of who occupies the Oval Office at any given time, thereby making elections largely, if not wholly, meaningless exercises in Democracy™ theater.
There has been much ongoing debate regarding from which major party candidate RFK Jr. is likelier to pull votes. What a lot of people miss in the analysis is the enthusiasm gap; Trump voters are hardened in their support and unshakeable. They aren’t going anywhere, not even to RFK Jr. who has some MAGA appeal, specifically on the COVID issue, which he is excellent on and which Trump is — let’s put it kindly — vulnerable on.

But, realistically, Trump’s vax-shilling isn’t likely to push very many of his supporters away from him based on that single issue.
On the other side of the equation, Biden supporters, such as they are, exist only in opposition to Trump. There is no grassroots popular support for Biden, as evidenced by the fact that he couldn’t fill a high school gymnasium for a rally if his political life depended on it. Those voters are much more disposed to seek greener pastures.
