Robbie Williams has broadcast his support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr as the singer was captured wearing campaign merchandise for the anti-vaccine independent US presidential candidate.
On Wednesday, footage aired on Seven’s Sunrise program showed Williams walking past the Sydney Opera House wearing a T-shirt reading “Kennedy 2024”.
The shirt matches the “Classic Kennedy T-Shirt” sold on Kennedy’s presidential campaign website’s store.
Williams, who’s set to begin his Australian tour tonight, has publicly flirted with conspiracy theories. At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, he entertained Pizzagate, a conspiracy theory precursor to QAnon that was built on the debunked belief that leaked emails from Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign showed high-level Democrats talking about a Satanic paedophile ring active in the basement of a pizza store using code words.
“Look, there might be a perfectly reasonable explanation for that language, who knows,” Williams said in a YouTube interview. “The fact that we don’t know means nothing has been debunked.”
Before that, he shared his beliefs in angels (the heavenly beings, not just his hit single) and UFOs, and even met repeatedly with David Icke, a world-famous conspiracy theorist whose belief that reptilian shapeshifters secretly rule the world has been called anti-Semitic.
But the pop star’s support for RFK Jr also comes as a surprise given Williams’ public support for a worldwide COVID-19 vaccine campaign, and as someone who posted about his own vaccinated status.
Before his campaign, Kennedy was best known as an anti-vaccine campaigner. Even as he has tried to reframe his candidacy for a broader, populist appeal, he was caught reportedly claiming that COVID-19 was targeted at “Caucasians and Black people” and that “Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese” were most immune, questioning whether the virus was “deliberately targeted”.
Despite this — or perhaps because of this — Kennedy has been able to court celebrity campaign backers, recently gaining the endorsement of NBA Hall of Famer and known anti-vaxxer John Stockton.
The political scion abandoned plans to contest the Democratic presidential primary in favour of an independent run and has polled in the high teens to upwards of 25% of support in early battleground states. This is reportedly worrying former president Donald Trump’s advisers as they fear Kennedy is pulling voters from his reelection bid.
Frontier Touring, which organises Williams’ Australian tour, and Kennedy’s presidential campaign have been contacted for comment.
Jeez Cam and his conspiracy theories – the only article we can have a discussion around and the one not worth it.
Six ‘articles’ (nobody could consider the cut’n’paste Worm an article) in today’s edition, FIVE with COMMENTS DISALLOWED – the only exception being the witless juvenilia hitpiece on RFK Jr.
(second attempt)
It’s difficult to locate an article where Wilson doesn’t reference ‘anti-vaxxers’…so fckn tedious. If you want to run a hit piece on RFK Jn, why not focus on his repugnant Z-i-o-n-i-s-t views – that could be actually worth the effort…
The antivax trope is just the ‘house style’ – among many other brain dead fixations here – but the majority of Jews, in both Israel & throughout the West, are extremely antiZionist, not least many of their earlier PMs.
TheCedarRoom The antivax trope is just the ‘house style’ – among many other brain dead fixations here – but the majority of Jews, in both Israel & throughout the West, are extremely antiZ, not least many of their earlier PMs.
Yes, they are, which renders JFK Jn’s unhinged rants on this subject quite disturbing.
Any example of the lack of hinges?
Chris Hedges on Substack (no pay wall) has demolished RFK’s defence of the state of Israel – it’s titled ’The Israel Lobby’s Useful Idiot’. The lack of hinges quite evident in the article…
Good comeback
So who says we have to discuss this article here?
What do folks make of Rundle’s chilling reports lately?
I like how he’s dropped all the silly flourishes and just hits us with a long series of facts you won’t come across in the MSM, which speak for themselves.
MM on the other hand, seems to have gone off the descriptive deep end… I can totally sympathise with the obvious emotion behind her writing, but she’s getting carried away and mangling it.
GR’s writing lately reminds me of when FDotM does a comic without colour to emphasise the bleakness of the subject.
Comic is totally the wrong word… Strip?
Easy on the antivaxx story young fella. Or if you’re gonna go down that rabbit hole, educate yourself a bit
He took that plunge long ago and is now wandering in the Wonderland Caucus Race where words mean only what he wants them to mean and he can believe six impossible things before breakfast such as a strident claim that men can give birth to babies and similar transnutzi stuff.
Silly Milli Cam could do a bit of reading and discover that RFK Jr is not anti-vaccine – he has constantly supported and litigated for functional vaccines.
Note the penultimate word.
Something that does not prevent the target/specified disease, does not prevent transmitting that disease, does not prevent its recurrence and uses a variety of novel vectors cannot be called a vaccine.
But it is very profitable!!!!
There is a huge difference between real vaccines and the drek sold to us during Covid.
Just imagine what the next lot will be – A/Z, using the proven & efficacious ‘killed-virus’ technique, has now been withdrawn, seemingly world-wide.
The remaining stocks will, as usual with banned/substandard Western potions, be dumped on Africa which, with its sky-high, record breaking covid vax rate of <3%, seems to have had no problems with the killer virus/pandemic™ ® and its survival rate of 98.9%.
We lucky lumpen in the worried well West will then only have the solution-in-search-of-a-problem mRNA elixer$ – which were discovered and patented 10-15yrs ago by the usual highly honourable & totally trustworthy Megapharmacy industry aka “Iatrogenics-R-US“.
Given that mRNA are designed to change the body’s immune response in a predetermined way in response to ‘certain’ stimuli, the next lot of promised cures will have lots of exciting new instructions for those T-cells already prepped.
Enjoy the Future, if any.
Frontier Touring sounds like the right sort of name for such a clientele.
Never really took any notice of this Williams character until his performance before the 2022 AFL GF, which was quite decent as far as these things go.
Now he’s blown it as far as I’m concerned, I’ll be playing Pavement and The Chats for the rest of the day.
