AARON RODGERS WOULD’VE BEEN A BETTER CHOICE RFK Jr picked his running mate. She’s an attorney who’s donated lots of money to a George Soros D.A. and prefers social workers over cops for law enforcement. You’ve never heard of her.

Michael Waller, author of Big Intel: How the CIA and FBI Went from Cold War Heroes to Deep State Villains, says that’s a big problem. MSNBC’s stars are world class hypocrites.
