Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the prominent environmental activist, thinks people who disagree with him on climate change should go to jail and corporations that disagree “should be given the death penalty” by having their charters revoked. He even goes after Charles and David Koch, accusing them of “treason,” which is a violation of the Constitution, for their purported views on climate change.Should Robert Jr. live up to his own rulebook.
“Do I think they should be in jail?” Kennedy asks. “I think they should be enjoying three hots and a cot at the Hague with all the other war criminals.” He adds, “Do I think the Koch brothers should be tried for reckless endangerment? Absolutely, that is a criminal offence and they ought to be serving time for it.”
Jail, charters revoked, treason, war crimes, and reckless endangerment? Whatever happened to the left’s defense of free speech? Mario Savio, the face of the Free Speech Movement founded in Berkeley in mid-1960s, but who died in 1996, must be turning over in his grave.
But let’s take Robert Kennedy Jr. at his word. So by his own standard, shouldn’t Kennedy go to jail for being a vaccine denier?
