Democratic presidential contender Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made a decision to go on Sean Hannity’s Fox News program – a decision he is likely now regretting after Hannity tore him apart over his use of private jets.
Hannity inquired if Kennedy, a vocal opponent of vaccines and nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy, continues to fly privately despite his advocacy for the environment. Kennedy, who has prioritized the environment on his campaign website alongside “honest government” and “civil liberties,” faces an uphill battle against incumbent President Joe Biden in the race for the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination.
“Have you given up all use of private jets because of your environmental views?” Hannity asked.
“Are you really going back to that, Sean?” Kennedy responded.
“Wait a minute, that’s a simple question. Are you pledging to never—have you given up the use of private jets?” Hannity asked.
“Sean, I don’t fly on private jets,” Kennedy responded. “I don’t regularly fly on private jets and I’m not…”
“Regularly,” Hannity cut in,
“I’ve never objected to people flying…” Kennedy tried to reply as the two men talked over each other.
“Listen,” Hannity said. “I think this climate alarmist stuff is a bunch of crap, so I don’t care if you do or not, but if you’re claiming to be a big environmentalist, you shouldn’t be flying on a private jet, right?”
“I’m not that kind of environmentalist,” Kennedy awkwardly replied. “I believe that—listen, I have been fighting for—against pollution on the rivers and water, against global pollution, against carbon pollution because of the toxicity of those things. I have not told people that they shouldn’t fly on private jets.”
Despite challenging an incumbent president, Kennedy is polling rather well against Joe Biden. A recent Fox News poll found Kennedy with 19% support in a hypothetical 2024 primary matchup against Biden, compared to the president’s 66%.

Who really cares what Sean Hannity or anyone associated with Fox News says, they have all been clearly outed as outright liars who only care for views and not truth.
I think Kennedy is right. You could be against pollution and for protecting the environment and still not be against air travel even if it’s on a private jet. I don’t know exactly what Kennedy’s code is when it comes to protecting the environment, though. One should try to be responsible and try to keep Hashem’s world clean and that doesn’t mean not using cars or traveling in air planes.
Although I think that RFK Jr is a crazy conspiracy theorist, he is totally right here. I don’t think Hannity understands the difference between fighting against pollution in rivers or lead pipes, and climate change environmentalism. Also, this private plane thing is pretty dumb. The pollution from private planes of environmentalists is so small, it’s not worth opposing.
Kennedy : “I have not told people that they shouldn’t fly on private jets.”
Vanity: ““Listen,” Hannity said. “I think this climate alarmist stuff is a bunch of crap, so I don’t care if you do or not, but if you’re claiming to be a big environmentalist, you shouldn’t be flying on a private jet, right?”
Hannity, don’t you see a contradiction in your question?
The title is misleading.
He’s a known lawyer specializing in childrens health & environment, who took on big poluters especially ones dumping toxic waste in the Hudson. You have him partly to thank for still being able to fish there. Big difference from an environ-mentalist & global warming meshuga.
Dan The, unfortunately RFK is not crazy, he shines light on topics that NOONE else wants to touch.
Big Pharma and Deep state call him conspiracy theorist to discredit him, but they can’t argue with him directly because he got the Facts, they don’t want you to see or even hear about. Covid vaccine and East Palestine are only a tip of the iceberg of FDA and EPA corruption.
