Jumping off a section of my Friday column on RFK Jr.’s run for the Democratic presidential nomination, Jack Butler takes issue with what he described as my “argument that [RFK Jr.] is an heir to Roger Scruton’s environmentally minded conservatism.”
He points out that RFK Jr. has, in the past, floated all sorts of bizarre, unconstitutional, demagogic, and authoritarian policies that would run against Roger Scruton’s ideas and even some of his occasional patrons. RFK Jr. has, for instance, suggested revoking the operating permissions of conservative think tanks because he believes them to be mere apologists and lobbyists for polluters.
