The Bulwark Podcast - Bakari Sellers: The Danger of RFK Jr.

The injecting-bleach president is getting some super-strong pseudoscientific information to scare mothers and blame them for autism while conveniently ignoring the role geriatric sperm may play in neurodivergence. Meanwhile, Kimmel may be coming back, but confusion remains about why his show was pulled to begin with—given the jokes by Trump, his son, and other high-profile people made about the attempted murder of Paul Pelosi.

Bakari Sellers joins Tim Miller.
