Florida Governor and 2024 GOP presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis appeared for an interview with Outkick’s Clay Travis and, during the interview, announced a plan of his to, if elected, put former environmental lawyer, Fauci critic, and vaccine sceptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in charge of the FDA or the CDC.
Speaking to Travis about Mr. Kennedy and his views, DeSantis described himself as being entirely on board with Mr. Kennedy’s stances on Fauci and the public health bureaucracies, an important stance to many on the right who blame Fauci for the response to the Covid pandemic.
DeSantis said, when commenting on Mr. Kennedy’s views, “I’m aligned with him on Fauci and the corruption and the health bureaucracies 100%. And I think he’s probably done said some other things that I agree with, too. But the end of the day, you know, he’s more liberal.”
DeSantis then noted that there are some views of Mr. Kennedy’s with which he disagrees, namely the Supreme Court of the United States’ recent ruling on affirmative action, which it found is impermissible because it is racial discrimination.
Commenting on that, DeSantis said, “He opposed the affirmative action ruling to say you can’t racially discriminate on that. He would have wanted that to remain. So I just think at the end of the day, you know, you need somebody that’s going to reflect the values of the broad coalition.”
DeSantis then returned to where he thinks Mr. Kennnedy would be the most useful and have a positive impact on the lives of ordinary Americans: as a bull in the china shop of the public health bureaucracies, where he could thrash around and take a sledgehammer to their restrictions, regulations, and rules with which he disagrees.
Making that point about where RFK Jr. would be useful, DeSantis said, “But there’s a whole host of other things that he’d probably be out of step with. And so on that regard, it’s like, okay, if you’re president, sic him on the FDA if he’d be willing to serve, or sic him on CDC.”
DeSantis then added that Mr. Kennedy would be less useful as a Vice President because there is a good bit on which they disagree, saying, “But in terms of being veep, if there’s, you know, 70% of the issues that he may be averse to our base on, you know, that just creates an issue.”
Watch them discuss that here:
Mr. Kennedy has written book on Fauci and Bill Gates called, “Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health.” The description for it says, in part, “The Real Anthony Fauci reveals how “America’s Doctor” launched his career during the early AIDS crisis by partnering with pharmaceutical companies to sabotage safe and effective off-patent therapeutic treatments for AIDS. Fauci orchestrated fraudulent do-nothing studies, and then pressured US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulators into approving a deadly chemotherapy treatment he had good reason to know was worthless against AIDS. Fauci did the unthinkable and repeatedly violated federal laws to allow his Pharma partners to use impoverished and dark-skinned children as lab rats in beyond order, deadly experiments with toxic AIDS and cancer chemotherapies. In early 2000, Fauci shook hands with Bill Gates in the library of Gates’ $147 million Seattle mansion, cementing a partnership that would aim to control an increasingly profitable $60 billion global vaccine enterprise with unlimited growth potential. Through funding leverage and carefully cultivated personal relationships with heads of state and leading media and social media institutions, the Pharma-Fauci-Gates alliance exercises dominion over global health policy and our beautiful country. This is not just another political book. The Real Anthony Fauci details how Fauci, Gates, and their cohorts use their control of media outlets—both conservative and liberal leaning, scientific journals, key government and quasi-governmental agencies, global intelligence agencies, and influential scientists and physicians to flood the public with fearful propaganda about COVID-19 virulence and pathogenesis, and to muzzle debate and ruthlessly censor dissent.”
