Palestinian-American activist Omar Baddar joins Bad Faith for a point-by-point refutation of RFK Jr's views on Palestine, the conduct of the IDF, and what fellow Presidential candidate Marianne Williams has called "dated AIPAC talking points." In the wake of a controversial interview on the Jimmy Dore Show -- as well as Briahna's own showdown with RFK Jr. on Rising -- it's worth parsing what is and isn't true.

| 1:13.8 | Very excited to be on, Brianna. |
| 1:15.2 | Thank you. |
| 1:15.9 | I've asked you to talk to me today because I think a lot of the left is really been blown away by the nature, |
