Scion shmion
Weirdo Kennedy can’t get a date for the prom.
On August 23, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. suspended his presidential campaign. Citing the war in Ukraine and the “war on our children,” as well as “relentless, systematic censorship and media control,” the scion of the famous Democratic political family announced his support for the Republican candidate.
“These are the principal causes that persuaded me to leave the Democratic Party and run as an independent, and now to throw my support to President Trump,” he added.
In reality, Kennedy had tried just a week earlier to sell his support to the Harris campaign in exchange for a position in her cabinet, preferably as Secretary of Health and Human Services. After getting laughed out of the room, Kennedy decamped to Team Trump, where the candidate wouldn’t commit to a cabinet post, but was at least willing to appear publicly with him.
Attaboy Junior! He won’t dance with you but at least he’ll let you hold his…er…flowers.
“In about 10 battleground states where my presence would be a spoiler, I’m going to remove my name, and I’ve already started that process and urge voters not to vote for me,” Kennedy said that day in Phoenix.
In fact, Kennedy is working hard to be a spoiler for Harris, fighting to keep his name on the ballot where it could harm the vice president’s campaign and to remove it where his appearance might hurt Trump. It’s a remarkably shameless ploy for a man who spent his career as an environmental attorney and is now willing to get in bed with a politician who thinks windmills cause cancer and fossil fuels are the future.
They match up well though. Spoiled, entitled, empty. A pair of greedy conceited hacks with no morals.
I’d like to add, neither Kennedy or Trump have achieved much in their own lives, their so called fame and celebrity rubbing off on them from their parents.
I disagree, Rev. Kennedy did get a lot of publicity and exposure for the environmentally disastrous coal-mining practice of mountaintop removal. He just went off the rails when he found anti-vaxxism.
