Robert F Kennedy Jr, 29, might not wrest the Democrat nomination from Joe Biden, but some fear he could still undermine his party’s chances of keeping Donald Trump out 🔎 Analysis by michael2day
on air after he claimed that “we” – as in the United States – had “killed 350,000 Ukrainian kids”, during a statement criticising US support for Ukraine as it fights off a Russian invasion.Alt-right guru and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon has hailed his political appeal.
“Populist left, populist right – and where that Venn diagram overlaps – he’s talking to those people.” Bannon told“I think Tucker’s seeing it, Rogan’s seeing it, other people – the Tucker-Rogan-Elon-Bannon-combo-platter right … are seeing it. It’s a new nomenclature in politics,” he said. “And obviously the Democrats are scared to death of it … They want to pretend it doesn’t exist.”Neither the Biden re-election team nor the White House seem keen to comment on RFK Junior.
In a town-hall style event last Wednesday, which was ignored by most of the mainstream media, Kennedy said that one of his main political objectives was “de-escalating all of the hatred and the poison and the vitriol” afflicting the US; he warned that polarisation in his country was “more dangerous than it’s been since the civil war”.
It’s been left to Democrat figures one step removed from government to dismiss Kennedy’s views and electoral credibility “Democrats know RFK Jr. isn’t actually a Democrat,” according to Jim Messina, who led Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign. He thinks Kennedy “is not a legitimate candidate in the Democratic primary” and adds that “his offensive ideas align him with Trump and the other GOP candidates running for president.”Jack Dorsey, the billionaire founder of Twitter shared a Fox News clip of Kennedy saying he could beat Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis in 2024. “He can and will,” Dorsey tweeted.
