Nicole Shanahan waves after accepting Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s selection of her as his vice-presidential running mate. She financed a pro-Kennedy super PAC's Super Bowl ad.Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Tuesday that he had selected wealthy Bay Area attorney and philanthropist Nicole Shanahan as his vice-presidential running mate.
Shanahan laid out her belief that a combination of endocrine-disrupting chemicals, electromagnetic “pollution” from devices like cell phones and the over-prescription of medication and other treatments have fueled maladies ranging from infertility to higher rates of autism. As vice president, she said she would spearhead a massive effort to study the causes of chronic illnesses with help from cutting-edge artificial intelligence tools.
In 2019, Shanahan launched the Bia-Echo Foundation to distribute $100 million that she is donating to programs that fight climate change, reform the criminal justice system and help women become pregnant later in life.“I do think we have an environmental health crisis in this country,” she said. “I do believe Americans deserve clean water. And we can’t achieve that in the current climate of politics.”“I do wonder about vaccine injuries,” she told the Times.
“Take a look at his vision for America ― it is a vision. Dare to, as I spend the next seven months of my life getting him on each and every ballot in this country,” she said.She has also given to a number of Democratic congressional candidates, such as Rep. Ro Khanna, who represents key parts of Silicon Valley. Shanahan is still supporting Khanna, giving him the maximum allowable amount this cycle.
“Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a far-left radical that supports reparations, backs the Green New Deal, and wants to ban fracking,” Alex Pfeiffer, a spokesman for Make America Great Again, Inc., said in a statement. “It’s no surprise he would pick a Biden donor leftist as his running mate.”At HuffPost, we believe that everyone needs high-quality journalism, but we understand that not everyone can afford to pay for expensive news subscriptions.
