I’m loving every bit of this coverage. You have really opened my eyes to RFK Jr and I get tired of hearing the same lame comments about him from others. (Anti vax and crazy). I love seeing this perspective which is a big change from what we’ve been fed for many years. I grew up in a family that had an appreciation and fascination with the Kennedy’s so very nostalgic too. I’m so glad you get to experience all of this with your family and dear friends. Can’t wait to see what’s next! Thank you for sharing it all!

Bobby Kennedy has been suing corrupt corporations and government agencies for 40 years. He was Time's Hero of the Planet for his work cleaning up the Hudson. He's won nearly a thousand cases, including recently some hugely consequential wins over Monsanto over roundup before he announced his run for President. The media turned on him when he turned his attention to big pharma corruption. Big pharma is the biggest funder of mainstream media.

Did his office have a scent of peppermint? Why did that come to mind right away watching the video?! I wish there was a list of all his books. I’ve also thought this same thing when you show your books and office. The intimacy of this hike amazes me. I’m so glad you were there!!! ✅

Hmm okay. Well I’m going with yes it does and also a hint of books. I wonder if they make a candle scented like that. On my Christmas list anyway 😆

I bet the scent was every bit manly.

Everything I learn about him makes me truly appreciate more. You too actually! You are so beautiful girl!! Especially when you are doing your thing! The end of the video where he has dusty paw prints on his shirt says so much about him. I really feel as if he is one of the realest men out there and definitely the realest future president. I can't wait for this man to lead our nation!

I saw and loved the dusty paw prints too!

Beautiful work capturing a beautiful human. I love how you bring information together. I’m sure it is a lot of hard work and sacrifice but also so much talent. Any thoughts on who his VP would be?!

Jessica! This is all so incredible! Thank you, thank you! I’m pretty conservative so there are many issues that I’m sure I can never agree with RFKj on; however I do not 100% agree with anyone.

I did get confused as to why he canceled the interview with you. I’ll go back and re-read parts 1&2... but your articles were not out before you stayed at the compound, which was after the cancellation and then the van ride/hike day. Just trying to keep up with you and it’s a challenge! You are constantly on the move! Stay well ❤️

I’m not exactly sure myself. I think, because the debut of my political coverage (and, more specifically him as a rouge candidate) coincided with that whole Danny Masterson mess, I was unfairly judged by a few in his circle. But also, there are plenty of people who just don’t like me or what I do. So Im used to occasional obstacles. 🙃

So good. Whenever people tell me he is a quack, I always ask have you ever actually listened to him talk? The answer is always no. Sharing important clips and linking to long form interviews is 💯

Love the coverage! Also, I just experienced falconry a couple of months ago for the first time with a guy named Pete Kipp of Curtis Wright Falconry (in NC). I didn’t realize the history behind it. Queen Elizabeth was supposedly into it. Highly recommend it, what an experience.

That sounds amazing! What made you want to do it?

Expand full comment

I’ll be honest, it was kind of on a whim. I have an aunt who loves birds and they have a house in Highlands, NC, close to the falconry place. She and my uncle had done it and treated us to it when we were visiting. Another confession, I don’t have a passion for birds and wasn’t particularly excited about it (I know, I know) but man was I wrong because the experience was indescribable! Pure joy. (Also thanks for responding- you have no idea how big of a fan I am!)

What a cool thing to do on a whim. Now I’m curious about it. After my owl experience, I have a much deeper interest in birds. Your story makes me think I might like it too.

Yes, and keep us posted!!! 😀

Millenial here. Had absolutely no interest in politics up until I came across your Instagram. Such a fresh and unique perspective. Thank you for inspiring me to listen... and most importantly, read!

Jessica, you’ve inspired my fandom of the Kennedys and RFK Jr in particular. I’m so glad people are starting to pay attention to him. Thanks for the great work 💪🏻

Thank you for taking up the mantle. RFK jr. needs all the promos he can get. Despite the negativity surrounding his stance on vaccines (which I completely understand and resonate with as a former mass tort lawyer,) his ideas on how to build up the middle classes, work on the housing crisis, tackle immigration fiasco, protect free speech, as well as his stance on our foreign policy are all old-school 'Democratic' policies birthed from his family's ideals and leanings. Everyone deserves the ability to work, go to school, earn a liveable wage, buy a house, and have a healthy life. Everyone. I am sick of being controlled by our corporatacracy - and I truly believe this man can steer the USA back to its true democratic origins. Thank you.....just reading someone telling the truth about him is all I needed.

Great coverage! He seems like a very down to earth guy. I am curious as to how he thinks he can win enough electoral votes to be elected. It seems that being Independent could dilute votes from both R and D parties but maybe not be enough to swing it his way. This country needs someone like him though so I hope there is a path to victory. In the meantime, please keep the coverage coming! Love learning more about the Kennedy's (and I'm a very conservative leaning voter.)
