Tim Miller: Now Biden has a challenger with a famous name. But is it actually just a right-wing troll?
Sterling Archer (from Archer): Actually, that would not surprise me.
Miller: This is “Not My Party,” brought to you by The Bulwark. Polls show that many in the Democratic party wish that someone—anyone—would challenge Joe Biden for the nomination, mostly because of his age.
News anchor (voiceover): Seventy percent of Americans believe he is too old.
Yoda (Frank Oz in Return of the Jedi): When 900 years old you reach, look as good, you will not.
Joe Biden: Give a break, man.
Miller: And yet, party poohbahs have all stood by their man. But now a challenger with a legit Democratic pedigree has decided to jump in the ring: Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—that’s right, JFK’s nephew.
Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler on Parks and Recreation): American royalty!
Miller: Now there’s plenty of Kennedy progeny in politics—they are Catholic after all—but Bobby Jr., he’s a little bit different than his kin. Here’s the backstory. The son of RFK and Ethel, he was in high school when his father was assassinated. A couple years later, he made news when he was tagged by the pigs for pot possession.
Dr. Brian (Jordan Peele on Childrens Hospital): Righteous.
Miller: After college, he became a lawyer and specialized in environmental issues, fighting to protect waterways and green energy and go after big polluters. So on the surface, a 69-year-old tree-hugging Kennedy might seem like a good fit for a primary.
Mazikeen (Lesley-Ann Brandt on Lucifer): Sounds too good to be true.
Miller: But in his golden years, RFK has taken an interesting turn. In 2016, he founded an anti-vaccine group that pushed the conspiracy that these injections are actually evil and lead to brain disorders.
Steve Smith (from American Dad): Um, what?
Miller: In 2017, he was named the head of a vaccine safety task force in the Trump administration. But it’s unclear what, if anything, that task force actually did besides spread misinformation.
