PHOENIX, ARIZONA: CNN contributor Doug Heye poked fun at Robert F Kennedy Jr’s "gibberish" voice.

Heye told his fellow panelist during a TV interview, "You can't understand what he says," referring to his spasmodic dysphonia, a rare voice condition for which RFK Jr’s voice trembles since he was 42.



 

CNN contributor Doug Heye's nasty personal comment on RFK Jr’s voice

Doug Heye called Robert F Kennedy Jr, “coo coo for cocopuffs,” resorting to personal attacks over how he sounds.

Recently, former president Donald Trump expressed his gratitude to Kennedy after the independent candidate endorsed him.



 

Trump acknowledged RFK Jr's gesture during remarks at a Las Vegas restaurant where he also mentioned his upcoming visit to Arizona where Kennedy Jr is expected to reportedly be present.

"In my heart, I no longer believe that I have a realistic path of electoral victory in the face of this relentless, systematic censorship and media control," RFK Jr said, according to CBS.

"So I cannot, in good conscience, ask my staff and volunteers to keep working their long hours, or ask my donors to keep giving when I cannot honestly tell them that I have a real path to the White House,” he added.



 

Internet slams Doug Heye and CNN for mocking RFK Jr's medical condition

Netizens hit back at CNN contributor Doug Heye for his attack on Robert F Kennedy Jr. Many shamed the network for its double standards in reporting.

One user commented on X, "I think they understood what he said, quite clearly. They just didn’t like it."

"I understood everything he said. RFK called out CNN by name and they’re pissed. They are trash," wrote another individual.

"Only a person with an IQ under 100 couldn't understand what RFKJr was saying," another joined. "Wow shaming RFK for his medical condition? Isn’t that ableism? Tsk tsk fake news," one called out CNN.

One user questioned, "Does cnn support mocking people with an chronic medical condition? One would think working to end chronic diseases is something that would garner bipartisan support."

Someone else chimed in, "These are the same guys who did nothing but smile and nod when Joe Biden was literally speaking in gibberish for 4 years."
