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.

DNC Holds ‘Emergency Call’ as Dems Panic Over RFK Jr.’s VP Pick; RFK Jr. Can’t Keep up ‘Moderate’ Facade While Celebrating Violent Radical Cesar Chavez

/9 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. The Democrat Party seemed uneasy after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his choice of Nicole Shanahan as his vice president pick.

According to recent reports, the Democrat National Convention has ramped up attacks on Kennedy, claiming the pair will boost former President Donald Trump’s chances of securing the 2024 election.

Pro-President Joe Biden supporters are attacking Kennedy for appointing Shanahan as his VP—a California-based attorney and progressive activist.

“I am personally offended and just disgusted by his campaign,” Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) said during a call from the DNC. “He should be ashamed of himself. He should stop running for president.”

Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. Austin Davis (D) called Kennedy a “spoiler,” and accused the Independent presidential candidate of being “drafted” into the race by top supporters of Trump’s. (Read more from “DNC Holds ‘Emergency Call’ as Dems Panic Over RFK Jr.’s VP Pick” HERE)

RFK Jr. Can’t Keep up ‘Moderate’ Facade While Celebrating Violent Radical Cesar Chavez

By Daily Signal. Before the corporate media were tarring and feathering Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a vaxx denier who consorted with the likes of “Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon and Michael Flynn,” they lauded the Kennedy family scion as a heroic defender of the environment.

Time Magazine once named Bobby Kennedy’s son as one of its “Heroes for the Planet” for his environmental activism as an attorney with New York’s Riverkeeper Inc. Today, Time publishes stories about what a crackpot its “hero” is for raising red flags about Covid vaccines rushed onto the market that have not proved “safe” and “effective,” as their manufacturers promised.

But despite finding an area of common ground or two with Americans outside of the elitist politics bubble, Kennedy remains a liberal to his core — so much so that he’s hosting a celebration for one of the more brutal socialists to come out of the Marxist movement.

The independent candidate for president — who earlier this year left a Democrat Party his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, would not recognize — is hosting a Cesar Chavez Day event to “celebrate the life and legacy” of the socialist co-founder of the National Farm Workers Association predecessor of the United Farm Workers. RFK Jr.’s party for the late leftist will be held on Saturday, March 30, at Union Station in Los Angeles.

“This event, on Chavez’s birthday holiday weekend, will include remarks by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., music by the all-female mariachi group Las Colibrí, inspiring words by Bishop Juan Carlos Mendez, words of support from former LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva, Mexican food, voter registration assistance, and more,” according to a campaign press release.

WATCH: RFK Jr. Ad Takes Super Bowl Spotlight, Echoes JFK Campaign Vibes

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The Super Bowl, known for its high-profile commercials, featured an ad for independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The 30-second spot, reminiscent of an ad that aired during President John F. Kennedy’s 1960 campaign, played just before halftime.

The ad, paid for by the American Values 2024 super PAC supporting Kennedy’s candidacy, recreated the iconic jingle and visuals from the original campaign. It included images of signs adorned with the Kennedy name and retro-styled photos of Robert Kennedy Jr. American Values 2024 reportedly spent up to $7 million for the coveted airtime during the Super Bowl.

Kennedy, echoing the spirit of unity and healing from his uncle’s campaign, shared the ad on social media after it aired. “Our momentum is growing. It’s time for an Independent President to heal the divide in our country,” Kennedy stated in the post.

However, not all reactions to the ad were positive. The Super Bowl ad reignited family tensions, leading to Kennedy issuing a public apology to those who felt hurt by the advertisement.

“I’m so sorry if the Super Bowl advertisement caused anyone in my family pain,” Kennedy expressed in a post. “The ad was created and aired by the American Values Super PAC without any involvement or approval from my campaign.”

Kennedy Jr: Trump Ballot Removal ‘Makes Us Look Like a Banana Republic’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Wednesday on FNC’s “The Story,” independent presidential candidate Robert Kennedy, Jr. criticized the decision makers in Colorado and Maine for removing former President Donald Trump from their presidential primary ballots. . .

[Kennedy said,] “I’m not a fan of President Trump that’s why I’m running against him. But I don’t want — and I’m confident that I’m going to beat him. I don’t want to beat him on a slanted playing field. I think the American people want to see a fair fight. They want debates, they want real democracy. They want to be able to choose their candidate, their president not have a court choose it. And as you point out, I’ve read the decision and it makes no sense to me that you can deprive an American citizen of this right? We’re unprecedent without ever charging him with a much less convicting him of insurrection. He is not even charged with it.” (Read more from “Kennedy Jr: Trump Ballot Removal ‘Makes Us Look Like a Banana Republic’” HERE)

RFK Jr. Blows the Lid off Bill Gates’ Little Philanthropy “Money-Making Plot” (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

[I]s there more to Bill Gates’ story than meets the eye? Absolutely, according to RFK Jr., who’s exposing what he calls Bill’s scheme to “monetize philanthropy.” He argues that Gates has ingeniously found a way to monetize his charitable efforts. So, while Bill claims to be donating his fortune for humanity’s sake, RFK Jr. suggests he’s actually profiting substantially from it.

Popular X account “Chief Nerd” shared the video online with this caption:

. . .

Furthermore, according to the Clinton Foundation whistleblowers, Bill Gates’ foundation is the second-largest donor to the Clinton Foundation. That says it all, right?

RFK Jr., Ramaswamy to Discuss Ukraine and Military-Industrial Complex

/0 Comments/in , /by

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. met with Republican rival Vivek Ramaswamy on Thursday to discuss Russia’s war in Ukraine and the “military industrial complex,” a person familiar with the meeting told The Post.

The two White House hopefuls met backstage at the North American Blockchain Summit, where both candidates were slated to speak at the two-day Fort Worth, Texas, conference.

The forum offered to host them in a fireside chat, but Kennedy declined, The Post learned.

RFK Jr. dropped his Democrat primary bid in October and has since flirted with various political events. He also joined Ramaswamy as a speaker at a Conservative Political Action (CPAC) event in October.

Kennedy and Ramaswamy have both criticized America’s involvement in supporting Ukraine. RFK Jr. has referred to the war as a “proxy war” and has said the US has conducted the war in a way that is “terrible for the Ukrainian people,” while Ramaswamy stands out as the only GOP candidate saying he would stop aid to Kyiv.

RFK Jr.’s Donor Data Reveals His 2024 Threat

/0 Comments/in , /by

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is collecting checks from past Donald Trump donors at a much higher rate than former Joe Biden contributors, a sign the independent presidential hopeful may pull more from the Republican electorate than Democratic voters.

A POLITICO analysis of campaign finance records also shows that Kennedy’s bid has drawn millions of dollars from donors who kept their wallets shut in the last two presidential elections, suggesting he is activating people who have been turned off by what major parties have been offering.

Though both parties insist Kennedy will be a non-factor in the campaign, there’s clear anxiety about his potential impact, especially among Republicans. The analysis of Kennedy’s campaign donations as of the most recent filing deadline shows why: His large-dollar donor base has a clear Republican lean. That also fits with limited polling that suggests Kennedy might draw more support from Republican-leaning voters.

Most of the $10 million Kennedy raised from large-dollar donors through Sept. 30 came from voters who did not make any federal donations during either the 2016 or 2020 election cycles. (Read more from “RFK Jr.’s Donor Data Reveals His 2024 Threat” HERE)
