RFK Jr. might be running for President as a Democrat, but he has some fans among GOP lawmakers.
Sen. Ron Johnson told Insider he hopes Kennedy "gains traction and wins the nomination."
House Republicans have invited Kennedy to testify next week, and some Democrats say it's a political ploy.
"He's displayed extraordinary political courage," said Johnson, recounting Kennedy's own narrative about how he took up anti-vaccine advocacy.
Johnson's liking for Kennedy goes beyond just COVID and vaccines — he's on a similar wavelength with other aspects of Kennedy's conspiratorial worldview as well.
