We've noted earlier that polls show RFK Jr. is actually taking votes from Trump, not Biden. And this with RFK fans (and Biden haters) trying to get RFK Jr. on the ballot to "spoil Biden's chances."

The Republican propaganda outlet known as "Fox News" has finally noticed. Hannity had on Mark Penn to read polling numbers, and it gave Hannity an opportunity to do some clean up for Republicans. RFK Jr., who is nuts and has had a dead worm in his brain AND wants Biden to lose, is, according to Hannity, a (gasp) harm to Fox News values!

SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Mark, there's been a lot of speculation. "Oh, okay, will RFK Jr. help Republicans or help Democrats? Will he help Biden or will he help Trump? Okay, some conservatives kind of liked his position on vaccines. Besides that I would say that this is probably even a little to the left of Joe Biden. So in a three-person race, who is he more likely to take votes from?

MARK PENN (GUEST): I think right now when you look at the polls, actually for a kook, he's pretty well-liked and he's taken about 15% of the vote and he's taken it almost equally from both. Because he's got a lot of airtime with conservatives, as you point out, on vaccines and some of these issues, maybe a point more from Biden, but very close, pretty equal. Whether or not people find out... how it plays out uh... they don't know much.

HANNITY: When conservatives and Republicans are scrolling his positions on the screen, I'd just mention the most radical left-wing positions. When Republicans learn what I'm now, uh... We've now done our vetting of RFK, and I'm, by the way I'd like him. He won't come on the show anymore. They won't even return our calls, to come on the show. I've offered to talk to him. I've been fair to him during a town hall. He won't come on because he doesn't want his record to be exposed! So the reality is you're telling me that when Republicans around the country know what I'm now putting up on the screen, you're saying to me, you think they'll be Republicans voting for RFK? I'd say you're dead wrong.

PENN: No I think that'll probably drop in half, once Republicans learn the views. Right now, they don't know these things, and there is group of Republicans who sort of don't like anybody, and he's now the alternative to the alternative. So he's got some votes. I agree with you he would lose a lot of Republican votes, if this screen that you're putting up there, you know, really got out and got broadcast.

Hannity airs a scroll that notes that RFK Jr. donated to Obama and endorsed Hillary multiple times. Of course, all of that was before, and I'm sorry to say this, a worm ate his brain.

No one anywhere should sign a petition to put this unwell person on a presidential ballot. RFK Jr. should drop out of the race today, for the sake of his family and the nation, the end.
