RFK Jr. is even weirder than you thought

He brings his own sauerkraut to parties

Watching RFK Jr. so you don’t have to

We have a sick fascination with “Katie Miller Pod,” hosted by the Eva Braun to White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller. She is a singularly untalented interviewer, who seems to have no idea how to ask a basic follow-up question. But because her guests are all MAGA luminaries, things get very weird, despite her best efforts to keep it dull.

So this week, we thought we’d do something a little different at “Standing Room Only.” My producer presented me clips of Katie Miller interviewing HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy, anti-vaccine crank and lover of rotting animal corpses. I haven’t seen these clips before, so you are getting my honest reactions.

Plus, a bit of Erika Kirk weirdness at the end.

RFK Jr. has sauerkraut in his pocket

Well, maybe not in his pocket, but we found he likes to carry it with him to parties. Which may explain why Katie Miller spent most of the interview leaning as far away from him as possible.
