For those who follow NASCAR drivers religiously, Patrick’s views are no surprise. She has never bowed down to public opinion, choosing to stick with what she believes. But at times, this has ruffled feathers. In a society where having a non-conformist opinion is not appreciated, in some instances, she has found herself in trouble.

Regardless of that, she remains unhindered. That is visible from her recent sharing of an Instagram post on her story. The post by Tim Kennedy, an account that has 1.3 million followers, is one with a lot of potential for causing controversy.

Danica Patrick shows support for these theories

Tim wrote, “In the last month, we learned for a fact. -The CIA played a role in the #JFKAssassination and have lied about it for 60 years. -The FBI colluded with #Twitter hiding evidence of the #HunterBidensLaptop. -The CDC knew the #vaccines did not stop transmission and deceived us.”

The post was also replicated on Kennedy’s Twitter account. He further added, “It’s almost as if our Government it’s working in the best interests of The People.” His profile defines him as a “UFC Fighter, Ranger, sniper, and Special Forces Operator.

“No, when they’re not. Unless they want to have a baby.” Taken aback, Williamson further asked, “What would be the reason for that other than just for protection?” To this, the former driver replied, “Well, you wouldn’t have to be on birth control. So you would more safe from a pregnancy standpoint.” 

“So the narrative changes around sex to being something that is done at specific times. You would now as a woman, track your cycle more. Men would too.”
