“The floor is covered with food, and, like, disgusting food!” Haskins said on the podcast “Stopping Socialism TV with Justin and Donald.”
“He goes into the restroom sockless and shoeless,” Hasking said. Something I’ve literally never seen in my entire life … Absolutely disgusting, right?”
“And I’m thinking, ‘This guy is a presidential candidate!’”
Haskins believes this incident disqualifies Kennedy as a candidate.
“This man needs to be removed from the race immediately,” he said.

How has Kennedy’s behavior highlighted the importance of adhering to basic standards of hygiene and etiquette while traveling on a plane
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent presidential candidate, is under fire after his behavior on an American Airlines flight sparked outrage. According to TMZ, Kennedy was seen walking down the aisle without any shoes on during a flight from Portland to Dallas earlier this month.
A photo captured by witnesses shows Kennedy casually strolling down the plane’s aisle in first class, with his bare feet touching the floor. This incident has caused a heated discussion on social media platforms, with many users expressing their disgust at Kennedy’s behavior.
One Twitter user, @joncoopertweets, a New York Democratic politician and self-proclaimed “gay dad of five kids,” wrote, “DISGUSTING!! What sort of person walks BAREFOOT down a plane aisle — in first class, no less. Even worse, it was on his way to the toilet! RFK Jr is a really strange dude.”
Justin Haskins, a representative of the conservative Heartland Institute think tank, also witnessed Kennedy’s barefoot walk on the flight. Haskins described the cabin floor as being covered in food and other debris, highlighting the unsanitary nature of Kennedy’s behavior.
The incident has sparked a debate about whether it is acceptable to go completely barefoot on a plane. A poll conducted by The Western Journal revealed that 100% of respondents voted against going barefoot on a plane. However, it is worth noting that completing the poll entitles participants to free email updates from The Western Journal.
While some individuals may consider going barefoot during a flight to be a personal choice, it is important to consider the hygiene and comfort of fellow passengers. Airplanes are public spaces where cleanliness and etiquette should be upheld. Kennedy’s decision to walk barefoot down the aisle has rightly invoked a strong reaction from the public.
Passengers are typically advised to wear shoes during flights for several reasons. Firstly, shoes provide protection for feet in case of emergency situations or turbulence. Secondly, shoes act as a barrier between passengers’ feet and potentially unclean surfaces, reducing the risk of contamination or infection. Moreover, airlines often have specific guidelines regarding footwear to ensure the comfort and safety of all passengers.
Kennedy’s behavior on the American Airlines flight has undoubtedly raised concerns and drawn attention to the need for passengers to adhere to basic standards of hygiene and etiquette while traveling. Regardless of one’s stature or position, it is essential to respect the shared space and comfort of fellow travelers.
In conclusion, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s barefoot stroll down the aisle of an American Airlines flight has caused outrage and sparked a debate about acceptable behavior during flights. Passengers should be mindful of their actions and considerate of those around them to maintain a pleasant and hygienic travel experience for everyone.
