Well, RFK Jr. Just Found a Radical New Way to Wipe Himself off the Map in Texas

/0 Comments/in , , /by

RFK Jr. is on a mission to shift as far left as humanly possible in record time. It’s a rather shocking sight for many, especially the Never-Trump Republicans, who once saw him as a viable alternative to Trump. Boy, were they wrong. While RFK has had some really commendable views on vaccines and has criticized the financial dealings in Ukraine, he still remains a Kennedy at heart—a detail many overlooked or let slide during the COVID jab debates. Lately, however, he’s been on a roll, dropping one radical bomb after another. From pushing for children to lob off their body parts to pushing a “Green New Deal” on steroids, RFK Jr. is checking all the progressive boxes. In fact, his latest move is so extreme that it might just erase his chances in Texas entirely.

Yep, if you think Biden’s a climate nut, buckle up, because you ain’t seen nothing yet…

The New York Post:

But make no mistake: On energy — one of the core issues that has defined the Biden presidency from its outset — Kennedy is an extremist.

His policies would go even further than Joe Biden’s, even though the president’s have weakened our security, slammed middle-class families’ budgets and set our nation backward.

A quick check of the tape reveals startling similarities between the two.

Biden declared climate change, the “only existential threat humanity faces.” Kennedy labels global warming “the biggest crisis we face globally.”

Biden vowed to “end fossil fuel.” Kennedy has bemoaned “our longtime deadly addiction to coal and oil.”

RFK Jr. Changes Stance on Abortion

/0 Comments/in , /by

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who indicated during an appearance on “The Sage Steele Show” that he supported allowing women to decide whether to have an abortion at any point during a pregnancy, has changed his position, announcing that he would now “allow” for abortion restrictions during the “the final months of pregnancy.” . . .

But now, Kennedy is changing his tune, indicating he “would allow” for some abortion restrictions.

“I support the emerging consensus that abortion should be unrestricted up until a certain point. I believe that point should be when the baby is viable outside the womb. Therefore I would allow appropriate restrictions on abortion in the final months of pregnancy, just as Roe v. Wade did,” he wrote in a post on X.

“What if the baby has some fatal condition that ensures it will survive just hours or days after birth in intense suffering? Can we, should we, legislate such painful decisions and take them away from the mother? Is a bureaucrat or judge better equipped than the baby’s own mother to decide? Cases like this are why I am leery of inserting the government into abortion. I had been assuming that virtually all late-term abortions were such cases, but I’ve learned that my assumption was wrong,” he wrote.

“Sometimes, women abort healthy, viable late-term fetuses. These cases of purely ‘elective’ late-term abortion are very upsetting. Once the baby is viable outside the womb, it should have rights and it deserves society’s protection,” he stated. (Read more from “RFK Jr. Changes Stance on Abortion” HERE)

RFK Jr. Says He’s Against Government Limits on Abortion

/1 Comment/in , /by

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he’s against government limits on abortion at the federal or state level, backing legal abortions through the entire gestational period while arguing the state should not play a role in determining abortion access.

In a podcast interview with Sage Steele that was released Wednesday, Kennedy said he doesn’t “trust government to have jurisdiction over people’s bodies” and believes “we need to leave it to the woman … to make those decisions.” Kennedy stressed he believes “every abortion is a tragedy” and pledged as president to make child care more affordable to reduce pressures on women who are considering abortion due to high costs.

When pressed by Steele if he supports allowing individual states to determine abortion access for women, Kennedy said, “We shouldn’t have government involved.” . . .

“Even if it’s full term?” Steele asked, referring to the possibility of an abortion near the expected delivery date of a child.

“Even if it’s full term,” Kennedy replied. (Read more from “RFK Jr. Says He’s Against Government Limits on Abortion” HERE)

RFK Jr. Adviser Spent Months Airing Dirty Laundry on Candidate While Trying to Get Him Elected

/0 Comments/in , /by

A senior campaign adviser to independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been critical of the man he is working for on a personal website while maintaining his commitment to the campaign.

Charles Eisenstein, a public speaker known for environmental activism, has been working on the Kennedy campaign for about a year despite being critical of some of his policies and saying winning is not the end goal of the campaign. Wednesday, Eisenstein, who has over 78,000 subscribers on Substack, said he would be suspending some of his writing to focus on campaign work.

“I have decided to take a break from Substack for the duration of the 2024 RFK Jr. presidential campaign. I had intended to keep writing, in order to exercise the parts of my brain that aren’t, ahem, appropriate for the political realm, and to say things that I believe need to be said but which I cannot convey through the agency of a political candidate and political organization,” Eisenstein wrote.

He said he disagrees with Kennedy’s sentiments on the Israel-Hamas war.

“Speaking of the Kennedy campaign, I am deep in it again, despite my passionate and ongoing disagreement with the candidate about Israel and Palestine,” Eisenstein said. (Read more from “RFK Jr. Adviser Spent Months Airing Dirty Laundry on Candidate While Trying to Get Him Elected” HERE)

RFK Jr. Offers Biden Wacky ‘No Spoiler’ Deal in Desperate Bid to Battle Trump for White House

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. needled President Biden Wednesday, offering a zany “no spoiler” agreement that whichever of the two candidates is least likely to defeat Donald Trump drops out of the race in October.

During a news conference in Brooklyn, the 70-year-old RFK Jr. proposed that he and Biden co-fund a 50-state poll of at least 30,000 likely voters to determine which candidate is the true “spoiler” who would ensure a victory for the 45th president by continuing to campaign.

“Ultimately, I think what we all want in this election is [for] Americans not to feel like they have to vote out of fear,” Kennedy told reporters. “That they feel like they can vote out of hope. And that is only going to happen if there’s a two-way race between me and President Trump or me and President Biden.”

The poll would measure the likelihood both of Kennedy defeating Trump, 77, in a head-to-head race and Biden, 81, repeating his 2020 victory over his Republican rival.

The Democratic National Committee quickly pooh-poohed the proposal from Kennedy, claiming he was there as a Trump ally. (Read more from “RFK Jr. Offers Biden Wacky ‘No Spoiler’ Deal in Desperate Bid to Battle Trump for White House” HERE)

RFK Jr. Claims Trump ‘Emissaries’ Asked Him to Serve as Trump’s Running Mate

/0 Comments/in , /by

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has claimed that former President Donald Trump’s “emissaries” asked him to serve as Trump’s running mate.

“President Trump calls me an ultra-left radical. I’m soooo liberal that his emissaries asked me to be his VP. I respectfully declined the offer,” Kennedy tweeted.

Chris LaCivita, a Trump campaign senior advisor, claimed that nobody from Trump’s campaign has reached out to Kennedy about serving as vice president.

“Re-upping this from January …was true then and it’s true now @RobertfKennedJr ….your a leftie loonie that would never be approached to be on the ticket..sorry!” LaCivita tweeted while sharing a January post in which he had declared, “NO ONE from the Trump Campaign ever approached RFK jr (or ever will) – one of the most LIBERAL and radical environmentalists in the country.”

RFK Jr. Undercuts Democrats on January 6: ‘Little Evidence of a True Insurrection’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. issued a statement on the January 6 prosecutions Friday, saying that while violent rioters deserved to be punished, many prosecutions of non-violent protesters were excessive.

Kennedy’s statement undercuts the Democratic Party’s effort to portray the 2024 election as a “defense of democracy” and a referendum on the so-called “insurrection,” which Democrats blame on former President Donald Trump.

Kennedy’s statement reads as follows:

January 6 is one of the most polarizing topics on the political landscape. I am listening to people of diverse viewpoints on it in order to make sense of the event and what followed. I want to hear every side.

It is quite clear that many of the January 6 protestors broke the law in what may have started as a protest but turned into a riot. Because it happened with the encouragement of President Trump, and in the context of his delusion that the election was stolen from him, many people see it not as a riot but as an insurrection.

I have not examined the evidence in detail, but reasonable people, including Trump opponents, tell me there is little evidence of a true insurrection. They observe that the protestors carried no weapons, had no plans or ability to seize the reins of government, and that Trump himself had urged them to protest “peacefully.”

New Polling Reveals Why Dems Are Freaking out Over RFK Jr.’s Candidacy

/3 Comments/in , /by

New national and battleground state polling indicate why Democrats are concerned that independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s candidacy could be a spoiler for President Joe Biden’s reelection bid.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is ramping up efforts against Kennedy and other third-party candidates in hopes of deterring them from siphoning off votes from Biden’s base. Recent polling has found the independent pulling more support from Biden than Trump, which is contrary to survey data that followed Kennedy’s departure from the Democratic Party in early October.

Trump’s lead grows slightly from one point to 2.4 points nationally when Kennedy, “Justice for All Party” candidate Cornel West and Green Party candidate Jill Stein are on the ballot, according to the RealClearPolitics (RCP) averages. For a three-way race with Kennedy, Trump’s margin widens to 5.4 points.

Additionally, the former president’s advantages increase when Kennedy and the other third-party candidates are included in swing states like Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia, according to the RCP averages.

Trump’s lead over Biden jumps from 5.2 points to six points in Arizona; three points to six points in Nevada; 0.8 points to 2.7 points in Wisconsin; 0.2 points to two points in Pennsylvania; 4.4 points to 6.7 points in North Carolina; and 5.2 points to 7.4 points in Georgia.
