A press dinner to promote Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s presidential campaign turned chaotic when two guests, longtime friends Doug Dechert and Anthony Haden-Guest, got into an argument over climate change. Dechert became enraged, yelling that climate change was a hoax while Haden-Guest called him insane. In a bizarre turn, Dechert punctuated his remarks by loudly farting while yelling “I’m farting!” to underscore his point. Kennedy remained calm throughout the commotion. Though Dechert apologized for his flatulence, he remained unapologetic about his climate change views. Despite their argument, Haden-Guest said he was sure he and Dechert would talk again.

DykoPunk ( @DykoPunk@beehaw.org ) 5•1 year agoI think West is doing it for different reasons though. There are a lot of people on the left who are absolutely frustrated watching their rights disappear under a Dem government that refuses to play hardball under a misguided and frankly, privileged sense of decorum. RJK is clearly being funded by right wing clowns to act as a spoiler.
