Ruffling Republican Feathers

During its 20-year run, the ideacity conference broke ground on a lot of subject matter years before those topics became part of our everyday vernacular – subjects like AI, CRISPR and moonshots (literal and figurative). So it’s no surprise that even years after the fact a Talk can cause a stir. Case in point, Robert Kennedy Jr., the anti-vaxxer and environmental lawyer turned independent U.S. presidential candidate, has landed ideacity on the radar of Fox News. The outlet was reporting last week on ruffled feathers within Republican ranks after a clip from Kennedy’s 2005 Talk was circulated on X via the MAGA War Room account. Watch for yourself as, during his Talk mostly about environmental conservation, he comments about Republican-controlled ‘red states’ as having higher crime and teen pregnancy rates at that time.
