The guy is a recovered addict. At the outset of his campaign he let his team, and all of us know that he has a lot of skeletons in his closet. He has worked hard to reform them. Truth is, I don’t give a shit about his behaviors 20, 30, 40 years ago. I care about his current judgement and his policy proposals. Biden has sexual harassment charges from 40 years ago, trump has many. Wipe all of those away and look at their policy proposals, look at what they perceive to be the greatest challenges worth overcoming for our nation. I find it hard to believe anyone wouldn’t choose Kennedy’s vision for America.

I’ve never watched Cenk’s program so I can’t speak to it but I’ve never found a long form interview with Kennedy to be boring. But we do live in a sound-bite world. Which is why lying and saying someone ate a dog in Korea can have legs. That Vanity Fair article was a steaming pile of propaganda.
