He was a unique candidate, with some controversial ideas. While he was running, I talked with him for an hour. RFK, Jr. told me that he wants to cut government spending and that he supports freer markets. I was skeptical. What about his previous proposal to ban fracking? His opposition to nuclear energy, to wind energy? What about the environmental regulations he pushes regarding chemicals in food, and his fear of vaccines? When it comes to foreign policy, he says he supports fewer wars, but what about his support for U.S. funding of Israel? I asked RFK, Jr. questions about all those things, and more. While we often disagree, I am glad he was willing to debate. That is too rare these days.
