LOS ANGELES.–Slammed by the liberal press, 70-year-old independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. finds himself in the same place as 77-year-old President Donald Trump, the subject of unending ridicule all because he threatens 81-year-old President Joe Biden’s second term. Actually, Biden threatens his second term by refusing to heed the wishes of Democrats, Republicans and independents that think he’s too old to serve for more years at age 82. Biden scoffs at any suggestion that he suffers from age-related cognitive decline, refuting 51-year-old Speical Counsel Robert Hur who said in his Feb. 8 final report excusing Biden’s handling of classified docs due to his serious memory impairments. Since Hur’s report, White House spin doctors have stood on their heads to vouch for Biden’s memory and a competence to serve four more years.
RFK Jr. has now been conflated with Trump with the press accusing him of spreading MAGA talking points, most recently on CNN’s Erin Burnett Show. Saying Biden was a bigger threat to democracy than Trump, the liberal press went wild, ridiculing Kennedy as a conspiracy nut. Imagine that, a University of Virginia Law School graduate and life-long environmental attorney is now accused a being a conspiracy nut, all because he litigated cases in Washington, D.C.’s Vaccine Court to recover damages for plaintiffs claiming vaccine-related injuries. Yet to CNN and outer liberal outlets that’s grounds for denigrating Kennedy’s work or censoring him because he doesn’t follow the liberal horde like a sheep. Imagine how Trump felt in 2020, an election year, telling the world that the deadly novel cornonvirus was leaked from a Wuhan, China virology lab?
Whatever the liberal press says it must back up with endless fabrications, just like they’ve done to Trump over his time in office. Trump was accused by his Democrat rival in 2016 former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton of serving a Kremlin agent. Democrats and the press ran with Hillary’s fake narrative, used during her 2016 to discredit Trump. But, no, after Hillary false opposition research AKA The Steele Dossier, was discredited by Special Counsel Robert Mueller March 23, 2019, not one liberal news outlet retracted their fabricated stories about Trump’s alleged ties to the Kremlin. Now Kennedy faces the same press ridicule to harm his presidential campaign with the fear that he takes voters away from Biden. Now the liberal press gets only of RFK Jr.’s 55-year-old sister Rory, claiming she and the Kennedy family are worried about RFK Jr. handing the 2024 election over to Trump
Rory has no real background in law or politics, working as a documentary filmmaker “My biggest concern with Bobby’s run is that he is going to take votes away from [President Joe] Biden. How ironic that former President Bill Clinton’s chief strategist 79-year-old James Carville said exactly the opposite, all, of course, to create his own false narrative. Rory Kennedy is more aligned with conventional wisdom that RFK Jr., being a lifelong Democrat, would take more votes from Biden. “I think the election is going to come down to a handful of votes in a handful of states,” Rory told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, Clinton’s former press secretary. Steaphanopoulos, true to his fiercely Democrat leanings, mentioned nothing of Carville’s obviously skewed analysis. Rory has no real background in politics, not in place of making any comments one way or another.
Bobby blew liberal’s minds on CNN ‘s Erin Burnett Show saying he would argue that Biden is a bigger threat to democracy than 77-year-old President Donald Trump. RFK Jr. is now accused of spewing MAGA talking points when he’s just giving his unvarnished opinion. No Biden supporter wants to hear that Biden threatens democracy more than Trump. “And I am concerned that voting for Bobby is going to take voters away from Biden and lead to a Trump election and I’m very concerned what that will do to our country and to the world over the ensuing four years,” Rory said. Rory hasn’t paid attention to Biden’s proxy war against the Kremlin or Biden’s promise that he would commit U.S. troops to fight China in the event of a Beijing takeover of Taiwan. If Rory wants to know the future, she should pay close attention to what’s happening with Biden now.
Rory Kennedy mirrors the feelings of other siblings and cousins of RFK Jr. that wan’t to see Biden reelected because of their distaste for Trump. But RFK Jr. knows what it’s like to get banned-and-censored by social media, all because he holds different opinions. RFK Jr. doesn’t understand why his family would take out their knives when his family encouraged honest debate while growing up at family dinners. Anyone listening to RFK Jr. knows that he’s sharp-as-a-a-tack, very much in the Kennedy tradition represented by his father and uncle, President John F. Kennedy. Instead of Rory blindly backing Biden, she should listen more carefully to her cousin to see where he stands on major issues affecting the country. If she really fears for Biden’s reelection, she, in the best Kennedy family tradition, should join the Biden campaign and make her best case to voters.
