I am hopeful that the reason Trump-propagandist extraordinaire Sean Hannity hosted Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Tuesday night was because his unscientific, anti-vaxx views are not faring well as the measles outbreak grows. It has now reached at least 223 cases in Texas, alone.
Media Matters’ Matt Gertz has an excellent analysis of Hannity’s heroic efforts to make his Bedtime BFF’s appointment of Kennedy look like a not-terrible move. “Hannity tried to keep Kennedy on message during their Fox interview, repeatedly prompting the secretary to talk about how the Trump administration is providing vaccines in response to the outbreak. But the loyal Trump propagandist’s efforts were unsuccessful, with Kennedy repeatedly pivoting back to antivax talking points,” Gertz wrote.
