RFK Jr. Touted as 'Unfit' After Rant About Lack of Autism in 'Older People': 'He Cannot Be This Stupid'

When I hear something along the lines of "there is no way someone can be that stupid." I think about 2 things.

1. How dumb the average person is and realize half the population is dumber than that.

2. The interview of a Yosemite Park Ranger discussing the difficulty of designing the perfect bear proof trash can. The ranger is quoted as saything,"there is a considerable intelligence overlap between the smartest bear and the dumbest human."

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

He was touted as unfit before that, too

Touted 'Unfit'

By senators prior to his appointment?

No, by some anonymous posts on social media last week

So will this result in any actual consequences?

Absolutely not

Great

Are people just realizing now that he's unfit for his job?

Hey, that 65 year old neighbor with the $200k model trainset? Yeah, probably autistic.

He's dumber than most people can imagine. Jack, Ted, and Bobby might have been morally bankrupt but they weren't stupid. Something went seriously wrong with this one.

"He was in fact, exactly that stupid..." - Ron Howard

'He Cannot Be This Stupid'

He's even more stupid than they are acknowledging.

Short answer: if they got it bad, they're dead or in a nursing home. That's why they aren't walking in a mall. They ran out of health.

Long answer: in recent times, there seems to be lower threshold of diagnosis.

But if he truly thinks he can pinpoint exposures that increase autism - things like the exposure to tetraethyl lead which probably increased criminality and decreased mental health - good luck for combing scientific studies. There may be some. But if he's gonna rewind the age old "vaccines cause" record and replay it, nah, I won't be listening.

The worm ate deeply _ although I doubt there was much to eat.

I love how this is the hill people finally die on, and not the other absolutely wild shit this guy has said before he even got this gig, like collecting roadkill or his extremely well documented conspiracy-esque, anti-vaccine history.

The inside of RFK Jrs head be like…..

oh so now he's unfit?

Look, he's killing people. He should be arrested and go to trial for criminal negligence and manslaughter. Like the rest of the bunch.

But they can't even say it lol. "oh, some people touted!"

"No one in my generation had autism"

Sure thing. Uncle Barry, who collects every issue of Mechanics Monthly, and has spent over $10,000 on his model train set that is a perfect scale recreation of King's Cross Station, is completely neurotypical.

Maybe he has Autism

Plenty of older people have ASD. I know a couple personally. They have childhood stories of being beaten, yelled at, difficulty with teachers and peers. They claim to be fine today, but telling horror stories of your trauma as a kid really says otherwise. If ASD was bad enough to be “retarded”, they were kept from society and/or put in State Homes. RFK is ADHD, and the only thing that kept him out of jails due to the untreated effects when he was younger is hs family name and wealth.

The moment has reignited broader concerns about Kennedy's qualifications and judgment...

He has no qualifications and an exactly equivalent amount of judgement.

🙄 🤡 🖕 🖕

Narrator: Indeed, he can

The lady doth protest too much...... I'm calling it now, some psychiatrist tried to diagnose Rfk Jr with autism and he lost his fucking shit about it. I mean the dudes been obsessed with dead animals since he was a child always been known as "eccentric".

All the people who made the boomer neurodivergents disappear either have dementia or are long gone. Easy scapegoat.

Unfortunately lots of old folks think this way, actually today in the morning this same topic was brought up at breakfast by my mom, she was not being disrespectful necessarily but still is incredible how she cannot see that herself might be autistic and just never got a diagnosis

A friend of mine learned she had adhd at 65, and autism very recently at ~78. She said that her behavior and interests finally make sense.

"cannot be this stupid?" This is a kakistocracy, it's only stupid.

It's an administration of "well, I haven't seen it, so obviously it isn't real."

He looks like that old stress squeeze toy

oh yes he can be, just look at that face

'sharks don't get cancer' - same train of thought.

I still... maybe it's my years working construction, but when I look at RFK Jr. - his mannerisms and gestures and speech patterns and connection (or lack thereof) to reality - I see a tweaker, clear as a bell.

"Have you ever seen anyone...71 years old, with full-blown autism?" Kennedy asked. "Head-banging, nonverbal, non-toilet trained, spinning, toe-walking...these other stereotypical features?"

"Where are these people walking around the mall? You can't find them," he said. "They're not in homes, there are no homes for them, there are no institutions... anybody can look around and see that this is a canard."

I keep seeing the Forest Gump quote overlayed over him whenever I see one of his posts, "I am not a bright man."

yes, he absolutely CAN be this stupid

People started having kids at later age. My parents were 36 and 37 when I was born, so here I am, mildly autistic.

On top of that, I'd never have known if I didn't go to a psychologist and ask my doctor.

My dad likely is autistic too. Just never went to a psychologist in his life. (He's the last child of 6 kids, so his parents were likely old at that stage too)

If it's not causing serious impairment, people won't seek information about it. There's a ton of people with neurodivergency that live perfectly fine lives.

It's the overactive amygdala that caused me the most impairment anyways, not autism. Luckily, that can be helped with a simple medicine.

Everyone in Donald’s Admin is fucking stupid. Donald blaming dei… as everyone else is saying merit.

It must be A1. It’s all computer!

Y-u know guys at some point you just have to roll with this shit because it’s too absurd. I mean I remember I used to be outraged far far in the past when I still treated these seriously

Now it’s just hilarious. Outrage to entertainment pipeline

What you can do is laugh and be entertained because such stupid people at the top will probably never happen again for decades. It’s your chance to soak up all the entertainment potential

So, how old is the ol' muskrat?

Coming from Silicon Valley, I can assure RFK, my friends with autism are absolutely crushing it out here.

I look at their homes and families and think “fuck, carve me off a slice of that spectrum.”

THIS MAN HAS A WORM IN HIS BRAIN.

How we allowed him to lead the HHS is beyond me.

RFK: “Oh yes I can! In fact, I can be even more stupid! JUST WATCH ME!”

None of the twits in the current regime are fit for running a roadside fruit stand. Dumb, mean, divisive... these are some of the worst asinine people the world unfortunately has...

The brainworm he has in his skull died as a result of his stupidity so yeah… he’s that stupid.

No shit. Next they're gonna drop a bombshell report that sometimes dogs are brown.
