LOS ANGELES.–Running up against the Democrat Party propaganda newspaper, 70-year-old independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. found out what happens when you expose the New York Times. RFK Jr. called the New York Times “an instrument of the Democratic Party,” not realizing fully how much the New York Times calls the shots in the 2024 presidential campaign. Hoping to get out his bipartisan, unifying message, Kennedy has been targeted by the Times as the single-most threat to 81-yar-old President Joe Biden’s reelection. Interviewed by Astead Herndon of the New York Times podcast “The Run-Up,” RFK Jr. was asked if he’s playing spoiler in the 2024 campaign. “Considering the reality of the stakes,” Herndon asked Kennedy what he would say to someone who says he’s “insulated” by his wealth, access and because of his family’s name.
Herndon threw RFK Jr. for a loop sounding incoherent. “That is n the same way that you think you’re acting on what you believe in,” Herndon said. “That it requires a certain level of privilege to do so without thinking about the possibility of being a spoiler. How would you respond?” asked Herndon. “I’m offering a vision to Americans that they’re not getting. Seventy percent of people in the country do not want a contest between Trump and Biden. Don’t you feel that those people should have an option?” Herndon’s question asks a legitimate presidential candidate to justify running for president based on his family’s wealth and status. Herndon’s question actually insults the legacy of RFK Jr.’s uncle, President John F. Kennedy, who served the country with distinction before his assassination Nov. 22, 1963. RFK Jr. realized the New York Times was out to get him.
RFK Jr. didn’t realize that the New York Times isn’t “an instrument of the Democrat Party,” it is the Party, applying its monopoly on “all that’s fit to print,” the arrogant New York Times motto, essentially telling its readers that it determines what’s news and what is not news. Herndon wanted no part of RFK Jr. explaining the purpose of running for president, not to spoil anything but to offer an alternative to Trump and Biden. When it comes the Biden, RFK Jr. is far more opposed to Biden’s foreign policy and economic agenda than Trump’s. Unlike the New York Times, RFK Jr. opposes Biden’s proxy war in Ukraine with the Russian Federation, essentially ending U.S.-Russian relations. Now considered a mortal enemy, the U.S. and Russia have the worst relations under Biden in U.S. history. RFK Jr. agrees 100% with Trump that the Ukraine war must be ended at the earliest possible time.
New York Times and Democratic National Committee [DNC] have discredited RFK Jr. as a conspiracy nut, all because he represented plaintiffs in Washington D.C.’s Vaccine Court, where vaccine makers endow the court with billions to pay victims of vaccine-related injuries. From his history as an environmental attorney, the New York Times discredits RFK Jr. as a conspiracy nut. New York Times and DNC officials distort RFK Jr’s record, when he wasn’t opposed to Covid-19 vaccines, only wants the rights protected of any consumer taking FDA-approved vaccines. Anyone injured by Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus [DPT] or Measles, Mumps, Rubella [MMR] vaccines should have the right to recover damages. Yet the New York Times and DNC disparages RFK Jr. as a conspiracy nut to help Biden’s reelection chances, knowing he’s a flawed candidate.
RFK Jr. runs for president because he realizes after steering clear of politics his entire adult life that he sees the country drifting toward decline. When it comes to Biden, Kennedy opposes in the strongest possible terms Biden’s proxy war against the Kremlin. RFK Jr. is smart enough to know that his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, worked with the Soviet Union against all odds to control the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Under Biden, U.S.-Russian relations deteriorated to the point that arms control is no longer possible. New York Times doesn’t care about RFK’s message to the American public, they must eliminate him as a threat to Biden’s reelection. RFK Jr. has attracted the youth vote, tired to perpetual war but, more importantly, that the government abandons the younger generation, in terms of future employment, health care and retirement.
Kennedy found out the hard way that a simple interview at the New York Times turns into a nightmare, all because it sees him as a threat to Biden’s reelection. Biden blames everyone but himself for his reckless foreign policy that pits the U.S. against Russia and Communist China. “Aren’t you making institutional arguments against me since this started? You’re an instrument of the DNC,” RFK Jr. said, not realizing that the New York Times is the RNC, no degrees of separation between them. RFK Jr. found himself in the same boat as tech billionaire Elon Musk when he was interviewed by the King of Woke, former CNN host Don Lemon. RFK Jr. still has some Kennedy family idealism in a deeply cynical age when the Democrat Party controls the New York Times, but, more importantly, the U.S. justice system now used to undermine opposition like Trump.
