Robert F Kennedy Jr's response to Tim Pool's initial support

Internet slams Tim Pool for joking about voting for Robert F Kennedy Jr

After Tim Pool joked he would vote for Robert F Kennedy Jr and later revealed he intended to vote for Donald Trump, netizens slammed the podcaster for not being responsible on social media.

One user on X wrote, "I’m not sure this joke was very funny Tim! Definitely wasn’t the kind thing to do IMO. With big audiences comes big responsibility! Just sayin."



 

"Tim, you are not a serious person. You are all over the place and were called out. Pretending now it was 'trolling' (wink-wink) is lame and so D-list," a netizen commented.



 

"Tim playing the comic book villain for a few hours," a netizen commented while someone remarked, "You played with RFK feeling, very bad Tim."



 



 

"That wasn't even an apology, just an explanation. Horrible thing to do for clicks (particularly if you claim to think someone is a good person)," a netizen opined.



 

"You have a large platform. It’s irresponsible to be sarcastic about endorsements. Common sense Tim," a user tweeted.
