    RFK Jr. Hosts Convicted Sex Predator on His Podcast To Praise Putin

    Alana Goodman and Charles Hilu
    June 26, 2023

    Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Sunday
    hosted a convicted child sex predator on his podcast to defend Russian
    president Vladimir Putin.

    Kennedy's guest was Scott Ritter, a former United Nations weapons
    inspector who served jail time in 2011 after exposing himself to a cop
    posing as a 15-year-old girl. The sex pest was brought on to discuss
    "Putin's Wagner Crisis" as the leader of a Russian mercenary group turned
    against the authoritarian leader. Ritter has predicted that Putin "will
    go down in history as one of the greatest leaders of all time."

    The podcast episode comes as Kennedy has been surging in the polls as
    voters grow weary of the prospect of a second term for President Joe
    Biden, who will turn 81 later this year. Nearly two-thirds of Democratic
    voters say they would consider backing Kennedy over Biden, according to a
    recent CNN survey.

    During the show, Ritter slammed the Russian mercenary leader who turned
    against Putin, Yevgeny Prigozhin, calling him "a traitor" who "stabbed
    Russia in the back."

    Ritter and Kennedy also speculated that the CIA could be behind the
    Russian coup attempt.

    "I believe that eventually they're going to show that [Prigozhin] was
    influenced by foreign powers to carry out a coup d'Xtat designed to
    collapse the government of Vladimir Putin," Ritter said. Kennedy
    responded that there was "chatter on the internet that the CIA was behind
    this insurrection as a regime change, but, you know, who knows whether
    it's true or not."

    Ritter, who during the Iraq war gained fame as an outspoken critic of the
    Bush administration, is a controversial figure due to his criminal
    history and his strong support for the Putin regime. In 2009, Ritter was
    arrested after masturbating on a webcam in front of a police officer
    posing as a 15-year-old girl. He served jail time for the incident and
    was required to register as a sex offender.

    Prior to that conviction, he was also arrested in 2001 for arranging
    meetings with undercover officers posing as minors online.

    Ritter, who recently completed a month-long propaganda tour of Russia,
    has claimed that Putin "will go down in history as one of the greatest
    leaders of all time."

    Earlier this year, Ritter dropped out as a speaker at the Libertarian
    Party anti-war rally after uproar over his attendance, the Washington
    Free Beacon reported. The Quincy Institute, an isolationist think tank,
    in 2021 also pulled an article he wrote for its website.

    Ritter has also been embraced by many libertarian and anti-war activists
    on both the right and left. Former Fox News host Andrew Napolitano and
    Russian defector Tara Reade-known for accusing Biden of sexual
    assault-urged the Libertarian Party to keep Ritter on as a speaker.
    Ritter also spoke last year at a conference hosted by former Libertarian
    presidential candidate Ron Paul.

    Just in the last week or two, someone posted in FIDO POLITICS that the GOP

    Correct, and they are picketing to the point where some locations have had
    to close. Supposedly, the pickets are not just about unionizing but also
    the rumor that corporate had some locations tone down their pride

    That is pretty much my stance. There has been a lot going on that doesn't bother me, but there have also been several instances where they appear to crave access to other's children and don't have a good explanation as to
    why that is important. So most assume the obvious.

    There is a fully transitioned British trans-female that posts shorts on YT.
    For whatever reason, YT suggested I watch one. In that video, she shares
    that these trends upset her because she is worried that these people who
    want access to children, claim to be "better women" that real women, or
    that debunk biology and claim they are fully women are going to cause the community to lose rights that they have now.

    She points out that she knows if her remains are found during a dig that
    she will be ID'ed as a male, that she will always be biologically male, and that people like her have only had the right to transition in Britan very recently.

    I think it is sad that the folks who truely seem to have been gender
    disphoric and who truely seem happier post-transition are now under threat
    by others who seem to have many other problems beyond gender disphoria.

    If I may chime in on this, as I would normally just move on ... However ...

    My Son who was a ER Doctor and passed away of COVID was Gay and Married to a really cool guy.. Joshie would NEVER approve of this BS narrative. Mark His husband and a Lawyer most assured does not approve.

    Now my Grandson, who is 15 and is openly gay if extremely vocal on how the "crazy garbage" is doing nothing but causing biased against the LGBTQ+ community.

    So, please understand the hard core noise that is supposed to be on the side on LGBTQ+ rights is not very popular withing the Gay community.

    So if your not Gay, or a parent of a Gay, you have no idea what torment they go through just to be allowed to love who they wish. The Stare, the smack and trash talk. Gay's did not choose to be gay just the same as a straight did not choose. It is who they are and who they choose to love. You will almost never see a "flaunting flamer". Any the ones that are the Social Media weirdo's need medical help.

    My Personal take on Budweiser is they took total advantage of a very vulnerable person for a profit and it backfired horribly. Why they did was abuse and got away with it, I am glad they paid a very big price for something very stupid all in the name of Social Media and DEI ..

    My Late Son Joshie would be flipping over this dumb stunt.

    These are my own personal opinions and mine alone. I am a old man with a dead Gay Son who gave his life helping others and a Grandfather of a Gay 15 yr old boy that I love and will protect with my Life.

    I totally see this view point and do agree both are completely guilty of this dumb stuff. Although either had very different motives. Dylan is obviously in serious need of professional medical help and Budweiser was taking advantage of a opportunity that clearly backfired. Yup, so I agree that point. Both win the dumbfu**ery of the year award.

    So, please understand the hard core noise that is supposed to be on the side

    LGBTQ+ rights is not very popular withing the Gay community.

    I do understand that. One of my earlier posts was about people who are
    gender dysphoric and how this "hard core noise" is threatening their way of life.

    So if your not Gay, or a parent of a Gay, you have no idea what torment they

    through just to be allowed to love who they wish. The Stare, the smack and
    ra
    talk. Gay's did not choose to be gay just the same as a straight did not

    . It is who they are and who they choose to love. You will almost never see

    edica
    help.

    I think we are mostly in agreement here, although I would interject that
    some of the parents of trans/non-binary children seem to have drank the kool-aid and the "hard core noise" is popular with them (and they are part
    of it).

    My Personal take on Budweiser is they took total advantage of a very
    ulnerabl
    person for a profit and it backfired horribly. Why they did was abuse and got ay with it, I am glad they paid a very big price for something very stupid
    ll
    n the name of Social Media and DEI ..

    I agree here also, except I have concerns about that person. They attract
    a young audience to their social media channels, often acting like a young
    girl rather than a woman their own age. I also question their motives. Budweiser is getting what they deserve, though.

    Oh absolutely... Dylan is probably beyond any professional help unless he has a moment of clarity that there is more to being a woman than just the sexual attributes. When he cannot make any meaningful relationships beyond sex and boobs and tampons. I have a teenage daughter who thinks he's disgusting, an empty-headed moron who is really all about sex and wanting to get fucked.

    Thats always been my problem with the LGBTQ+ movement - When the T and the rest of the alphabet was added to LGB, thats when the "problems" started.

    I have wondered, especially as of late, why the original movement allowed
    those others to become part of it. I am sure there is overlap, but it
    sounds like many gay and lesbians really want no part of their crap, and
    that is not new. One of my friends in college (late 1980's) was bi. Even
    back then, she knew that she wanted no part of some of the crazier stuff
    that was trying to work its way into the movement, and she was not alone.

    I wonder if they got stuck with them because some left-leaning politicians lumped them all together.

    Just a general comment, not responding to anyone in particular.. What seems to be obvious these days are two things.

    1. LGBTQ+++ people are being put front and centre everywhere these days.

    and

    2. Attacks against them, both physical and through hatefull words, are up dramatically in the past couple of years. I think something like 62% here.

    I like to think of myself as open minded. I won't say I can fully understand how people different than me think, but if they are not hurting anyone or costing me money and everyone is a consenting adult, I don't care about what they do in their bedrooms or homes. I had friends in school who were both
    Gay and Trans and that was fine. I have a good friend now who is openly Bi.
    I think the problem now is that they are trying to force it down people's throats and those against it or even 'neutral' (for lack of a better word) resent it and are pushing back.

    I think they are doing themselves more harm than good. Pretty much anything
    I would complain about these people doing in public, I'd complain about heterosexual people doing it too. Some things one shouldn't advertise in
    public no matter who you are or what your preferences.

    The same problem goes with people of colour as well. If they get pushed at
    us too strongly, literally everywhere, some people will push back, possibly even those who would have 'lived and let live' in the past.

    Example.. These days it seems 80% of the movies that come out are about one minority or another. In the past I'd probably have watched many of them but, with so much of it there now, I skip over virtually all of them. This doesn't help them get their message out if they are thinking it does.

    A final note.. My Niece is a teacher in lower grades, K to 4. Her school,
    like many, are pushing more coloured people content. Normally I'd say fine, show the kids early that they are people too and all around us. What is not fine? The school banned ALL books in the school library that had ANY white people in them. My niece, who has black friends and is not the least bit racist, had brought in a few harmless books of her own that had white people
    in them and they were confiscated.

    They are also teaching almost exclusively about LGBTQ++ to 5 and 6 year olds
    to the point where heterosexual kids may start to feel like they are wrong
    to feel the way they do. I can understand at that age teaching that Some families may have 2 mommies or 2 daddies but there should be a line..

    Is this where we are heading?..

    In Toronto Canada your child can be suspended from school, reprimanded by teachers, possibly a call placed to child welfare authorities if there is any disagreement against the DEI ideology or transgender nonsense.

    We have a "human rights tribunal" for quite some time now, we've already been screwed over.

    Its interesting though - The influx of immigrants from third-world countries and specifically those who are Muslim - They are strongly opposed to all of this and will vote it out or at least do not enroll their kids in public school... a mistake I made years ago.

    I have wondered, especially as of late, why the original movement allowed those others to become part of it. I am sure there is overlap, but it sounds like many gay and lesbians really want no part of their crap, and that is not new. One of my friends in college (late 1980's) was bi.
    Even back then, she knew that she wanted no part of some of the crazier stuff that was trying to work its way into the movement, and she was not alone.

    As someone that has numerous gay and lesbian friends, I don't notice any of this at all. Granted both of our experiences are subjective and all we can offer is conjecture.

    There is also the larger concept of gatekeeping, which may be part of this whole thing. Certain minorities don't support other minorities for various reasons that can be summarized as "we had to deal with xyz and you didn't so we don't accept you."

    Nevertheless I don't think it's healthy to overgeneralize based on what one bi person said one time. *shrug*

    Do you have a news article or source? Maybe you can share the name of the school so that I can call and verify this? No offense but this seems bogus. This does not happen. This is FUD.

    Curious how many classrooms you've sat in and seen this? I also think this is a mis-characterization. Alas.

    I don't think this ever hit the news. I got it directly from my niece who
    it happened to and all the teachers were complaining about it but the
    principal had set the rules this way for the past 2 years. Finally someone
    paid attention and that principal is gone now and they hope the next one
    will be a little more reasonable.

    I'll be honest, the first time she told me about it I thought it was
    totally exaggerted as well, but after 2 years of hearing the same complaint over and over again I feel there must be some truth to it.
    When I suggested that I could see them making sure the books had some people
    of colour in them she immediately said that would be fine but that wasn't
    the case. It was a solid no whites allowed order.

    If it makes any difference, the area she teaches in has more children of
    colour than white kids. They are banning the Minority there..

    They are also teaching almost exclusively about LGBTQ++ to 5 and 6 year olds to the point where heterosexual kids may start to feel like they
    are wrong to feel the way they do. I can understand at that age teaching that Some families may have 2 mommies or 2 daddies..

    Curious how many classrooms you've sat in and seen this? I also think this is
    >mis-characterization. Alas.

    As I said, I only got it directly from the teacher who was told what to say
    and teach or face losing her job, and I know she has LGBTQ+ and non-white friends so this is not someone exaggerating due to her own prejudices.
    This is a long time teacher worried about censorship and distorted facts.

    I have many queer (using this term in an all-encomassing way) friends, both locally, nationally, and internationally. They have all said that getting children involved in any way is wrong and many feel the trans movement has
    been taken over by pedophiles.

    They also feel they've been marginalized by all of this as well.

    Of course, as it's been said in this thread, this is all conjecture but I

    Well, tbh having people ask you for proof of your claims every time you post, then go silent when you post the proof, gets old and boring very fast. Specially if you post some similar claim later and they ask you for the same proof again.

    It is natural for people getting bored at it.
