RFK Jr. embraces lies & conspiracies– he is working to take lifesaving vaccines away from kids & families. The firing of the CDC Director, & the resignations of top doctors, who refused his plans, show how extreme he is. Millions of lives are at stake. RFK Jr. must be fired.

Trump falsely claims that U.S. beef had been banned in Australia and he’s changed that. American ranchers can just get a higher price in the U.S. so they don’t sell much to Australia. The U.S. sold about $2.5 million of beef to Australia last year, according to the Australian Financial Review.
