He discussed Ukraine with Margaret Kimberley at 26:40 here: https://blackagendareport.com/cornel-west-discusses-his-presidential-campaign

Ok. He also had condemned “vicious Russian imperialism.” And praised Reagan for fighting communism. Bu, it’s your party, you can do what you want

I want to like Cornel West, or at least I used to want to like him. Being an unsentimental cynical type myself, I have a natural aversion to people who come across to me as constitutionally programmed to be ultra-positive, optimistic, upbeat, etc. I try to be "fair" and resist this reflexive dislike, but I seldom transcend or overcome it.

I know some people automatically think highly of persons who supposedly "never 'go negative'", but I'm not one of them; rightly or wrongly, I just don't trust exuberantly cockeyed optimists. West is too effusive in general, and fawning over the abominable Fauci reaches toxic levels of glurge-mongering.

Maybe fellow unreserved Fauci-admirer Joan Baez will paint another flattering Fauci portrait and give it to West at the next Fauci Fan Club meeting. 🤨

He's been a suckup for years. Even after Obama publicly dissed him he continued the bootlicking.

I remember that.

I never trusted this mofo with his calling everyone "my brother", such phony pseudo-religious clap trap posturing.

Even the most egregious war criminals are "his brothers or sisters." And there is no excuse for his blindness around Fauci after all these decades.

Another Garbage spewer. political dead end sewer rat.

So right.

Of course. He's not the brightest tool in the shed. Like Bernie he sells out for almost free. I think they both cannot comprehend how badly the medical establishment handled convid...

I like his anti war stuff but the rest he's gonna rely on "advisors" .

oh man. That's hard to take. I liked West.

Geez Louise! This goes way way way beyond the politeness of "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all." This is ass-kissing and boot-licking all in one.

Brown-nosing for sure.

Disgusting, like RFK, Jr's support of Israel and basically brushing of the needs of the Palestinians. No surprise that there's no one to vote for.

in kennedy's defense we are talking presidential politics---a super low bar to begin with. Is there ANY candidate in the duopoly that doesn't suck up to isra hell ? And for any trumpers out there why is it ok for him to be the biggest suck up to fascist isra hell, and not ok for anyone else

In my defense, RFK is an enthusiastic zionist.

In West's defense, he has long supported Palestinian rights.

What is it that you think he gained by this?

Oh no! Delusional me thought we actually had an honest man running. Well fuck me, that’s a deal breaker.🤬🤬

my sense of him was full of pontificating and intellectually lazy. And this was up close and personal. We’re doomed. It’s time to enjoy my life again.

Watch West interview Falsie on his show, The Tightrope. Dr. Anthony Fauci: The Real-Life Superhero Who Has Literally Saved Millions of Lives https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9pR2gxeNWY

Watch Franc Analysis of this interview so you don't have to watch the whole thing. Here is @CornelWest

giving Anthony Fauci a tongue bath on "The Tight Rope" for his acts during 2020.

West praises Fuaci for being "a great exemplar of integrity, honesty, and decency..."

I'd say West is a great exemplar of being a poor judge of character. https://twitter.com/B43Franco/status/1667284672022183936

Pro-lockdown, pro-Fauci, and pro UkroNazi.

Not a word about the disaster of the injections and the resulting democide. Not from his pal and advisor Chris Hedges either.

Three strikes you're out Professor!.

This is a striking interview with one professor who absolutely DOES get it:

Ouch. I was hoping Jimmy Dore was going to stand for the Peoples Party. Oh well.

Expand full comment

I thought they announced he was.

No one is perfect, but like RFK's position on Israel, this is a red line for me.

Expand full comment

Any "presidential hopeful" has to bend the knee to the Zionist apartheid state or face political liquidation.

What makes this even worse is that Israel has pushed the killer vaxx onto its population resulting in massive health destruction and Kennedy knows this cause it has been on the Defender for a long time.

Palestinians are one of the most oppressed people on earth.

But that is the Democratic Party legacy they always use: limited reformist promises domestically while pursuing predatory imperialist slaughter abroad.

RFK is not bending over, he is sincere

Cindy, any articles, reports, documentation on RFK Jr/Israel historically, over a multi-year range? Don't know, just curious. I feel it's still the biggest third-rail issue for a major political wannabe.

Expand full comment

I know the Peoples Party sent out an email encouraging Dore to run but I don't believe anything official was ever declared.

I see another comment saying video is pre Covid. I'd like to hear his opinion on Fauci today.

Expand full comment

It wasn't pre-Covid. It was October 2020 when all the "experts" were claiming that the vaxx would solve everything. People who fell for that propaganda are not worthy of being listened to, let alone be a candidate for president.

I stand corrected. I miss read the other post.

Saw that Sam Husseini, who I trust, made a query that led to the October 2020.

i feel like this is way worse on West's part, these murders are still fresh! with Kennedy I'm more worried about him playing sheepdog a la bernie, than his ass backwards position on Israel

After watching Kimberly's interview, I strongly suspect that West's role is to draw voters away from Trump. He still thinks that Russia - and China- have empires and calls Putin a gangster, but acknowledges that Ukraine is a proxy war. I'd like to see if he still loves brother Faucisti. I've been saying the same thing, West is a bullshit artist par excellence, but he's a lot smarter than I had previously thought.

PS, No mention of nazis in Ukraine. Someone should see what he has to say about that phenomenon.

This error in judgement is so egregious, I consider it an automatic disqualification from my vote for President of the U.S.
