Evil puppeteer and deranged derelict Steve "Loose Cannon" Bannon should have been in jail by now for scamming the Red Cap Cult by collecting money for building the southern border wall, which he and his partner pocketed. The Malignant Loser pardoned him on his way out the door on the Federal charges in 2021, but the Manhattan DA's office indicted him for the same scam on State charges in October 2022.
Now, CBS News reports that Bannon is planning to interfere in the 2024 elections, after being a key player in the insurrection and promulgation of the Big Lie leading up to it. His harebrained scheme is to push the candidacy of anti-vax loon Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., for President in 2024 as a Democrat. Bannon's malicious intent is to create "chaos" in the nomination process, something he helped the Malignant Loser with in 2016:
"Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon had been encouraging Kennedy to run for months, believing he could be both a useful chaos agent in the 2024 race and a big name who could help stoke anti-vaccine sentiment around the country, sources familiar with the matter told CBS News' Robert Costa.
His push against the COVID-19 vaccine has linked him at times with anti-democratic figures and groups. Kennedy has appeared at events pushing the lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen and with people who cheered or downplayed the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. [snip]
Kennedy has repeatedly invoked Nazis and the Holocaust when talking about measures aimed at mitigating the spread of COVID-19, such as mask requirements and vaccine mandates. He has sometimes apologized for those comments, including when he suggested that people in 2022 had it worse than Anne Frank, the teenager who died in a Nazi concentration camp after hiding with her family in a secret annex in an Amsterdam house for two years." (our emphasis)
Kennedy would seem to be a perfect fit as a candidate for the extremist Republican / COVID-spreading / Shooters party. His chances for the nomination, aside from his name recognition as the son of Bobby Kennedy (who is spinning in his grave), are between none and none. But if Bannon and his rat-fucking colleagues (Roger Stone, etc.) can throw a little sand in the gears of the Dem Party through an absurd candidate like this, they'll give it a shot in the arm. As his sister noted:
"His sister Kerry Kennedy, who runs Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, the international rights group founded by their mother, Ethel, said her brother has at times removed some of the content at her request.
She told the Associated Press in a 2021 interview her brother is 'completely wrong on this issue and very dangerous.'" (our emphasis)
Wrong and dangerous, indeed.
