RFK Clowns On CNN’s Basic Reporting About His Healthy Cooking Project

If only CNN cared about the billions in Minnesota as much as they did the nickels and dimes in fact-checking RFK’s feeding-the-family good food on a budget cooking show?

Erin Burnett has a history of looking ridiculous in her attempts to discredit Republican approaches to… well… pretty much everything.

Nevertheless, she persisted.

And so long as the company is still willing to shell out money for hosts to make themselves look stupid and petty, hosts like Burnett are willing to play along.

Here’s a video where they went WAY out of their way in ‘fact-checking’ the 5-dollar-a-serving claim of the guidance given for the healthy salmon recipe featured in this cooking segment… to the point that they had someone buy all of the ingredients and make the meal in pursuit of the ‘truth’.

Have you noticed how deep the left’s loathing for a Kennedy-turned-MAGA actually goes? It’s the kind of phenomenon that’s ripe for a clinical study. (But I digress.)

RFK called them out as the clowns that they are:

This is the same Erin Burnett that had Janet Yellen on her show, assuring us that the economy was doing pretty well under Biden. Remember those assurances from Yellen that the inflation was just going to be a ‘blip’? Or how all the lapdog press rallied around that stupid July 4th cookout talking point about prices only going up by 16 cents, while gas price and inflation were going through the roof?

But no. Instead of focussing on billions in fraudulent government payouts driving up the price of everything, they are worried about what…?

The fact that the pricing in this cooking show doesn’t assume you throw out a bottle of mayonnaise once you’ve used a tablespoon of its contents?

The agreed-upon goal of the MAHA movement is healthier eating, right?
Well, then, having a kitchen stocked with basic ingredients you can use across multiple meals is kind of the point, actually.
