Robert F. Kennedy Jr's Presidential Campaign

BREAKING: RFK Jr plans to announce independent run for president
Sep 29, 2023

Kennedy plans to make the announcement on October 9 in Philadelphia





Robert F Kennedy Jr, who launched his campaign for the Democrat presidential nomination in April, reportedly has plans to announce a run as an independent candidate.

According to Mediaite, Kennedy plans to make the announcement on October 9 in Philadelphia, with a text message viewed by the outlet stating that his campaign is planning "attack ads" against the Democrat National Committee to "pave the way" for his announcement.

"Bobby feels that the DNC is changing the rules to exclude his candidacy so an independent run is the only way to go," a Kennedy campaign insider told the outlet.

On Saturday, the New York Times published a piece stating that Kennedy met with Libertarian Party chair Angela McArdle in July, at a Memphis conference.

"He emphasized that he was committed to running as a Democrat but said that he considered himself very libertarian," McArdle said, adding that "We’re aligned on a lot of issues," including the threat of the "deep state."

"My perspective is that we are going to stay in touch in case he does decide to run," Ms. McArdle said. "And he can contact me at any time if that’s the case."

"It would be very bad" if Kennedy runs as a Libertarian, said Matt Bennett, a co-founder of Third Way, a Democrat group helping coordinate efforts to stop the No Labels group who is also trying to run a third-party ticket.

"We’ve been very clear that third parties in close elections can be very dangerous and would almost certainly hurt the president. That would be true of a No Labels candidate and it would be true of RFK."

According to RealClearPolitics average of polls between September 7 and 19, Kennedy is around 50 points behind Biden, with BIdne polling at 65 percent and Kennedy at 14.9.

Breaking: RFK Jr. to Announce Independent Run for U.S. President?
09/29/23

"According to Mediaite, which broke the story late this afternoon, a “campaign insider” revealed that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Children’s Health Defense founder and chairman on leave, will announce a third-party run for president on Oct. 9 in Philadelphia.

Media outlets today reported that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to announce he will run as an Independent for president of the U.S.

According to Mediaite, which broke the story late this afternoon, a “campaign insider” revealed that Kennedy will make the announcement on Oct. 9 in Philadelphia, because he “feels that the DNC [Democratic National Committee] is changing the rules to exclude his candidacy so an independent run is the only way to go.”

Kennedy is the founder and chairman on leave from Children’s Health Defense. He announced his run for the Democratic nomination for president on April 20, in Boston, with the promise to “reduce chronic disease in children.”

Kennedy launched his campaign with a two-hour speech that covered a wide range of issues — everything from his family’s history in American politics, to the military-industrial complex, to widespread censorship, and to the attacks on civil liberties, the environment and public health.

Throughout his speech, Kennedy frequently referred to how all of these issues directly affect children.

He reminded the audience of the obligation America’s leaders have to protect children — from toxic pesticides, from dangerous pharmaceuticals and from the “corrupt merger of state and corporate power” that rob future generations of their health and of their ability to achieve financial security.

Kennedy, who has a long and successful career as an environmental attorney, decried the attack on the environment by corporate polluters. He told the crowd:

“If we want to meet our obligation as a generation, as a civilization, as a nation, which is to create communities for our children that provide them with the same opportunities for dignity and enrichment and prosperity and good health as the communities that our parents gave us, we’ve got to start by protecting our environmental infrastructure.

“If we want to measure our economy … we ought to be measuring it based upon how it produces jobs and the dignity of jobs over the generations, and how it preserves the value of the assets of our community.”

He also had harsh words for the pandemic lockdown policies, which he said were “a war on American children,” citing a Brown University study that found toddlers lost 22 IQ points.

The Defender was unable to reach Kennedy for comment by press time but will have more details as the story develops.

The Defender on occasion posts content related to Children’s Health Defense’s nonprofit mission that features Mr. Kennedy’s views on the issues CHD and The Defender regularly cover. In keeping with Federal Election Commission rules, this content does not represent an endorsement of Mr. Kennedy who is on leave from CHD and is seeking the Democratic nomination for president of the U.S."

(Odd that The Defender, which is part of RFK's own website, Childrens' Health Defense, hasn't announced that RFK will be running as an Independent. )

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination is clearly worrying the Democratic Party — to the extent that the DNC is intentionally putting up roadblocks to RFK’s progress while smoothing the runway for Joe Biden. But now some are intimating that RFK could flee the Democratic Party and run on the Libertarian ticket instead.

Guest host Craig “Pasta” Jardula and Kurt Metzger discuss the intriguing possibility of seeing RFK Jr., Joe Biden, Donald Trump and Cornel West all on the debate stage together.

• Robert Kennedy Jr to run for president as independent in 2024 – report

Scion of US political dynasty, who had been challenging Joe Biden for Democratic nomination, expected to announce on Sunday

Robert F Kennedy Jr is reported to be ending his challenge to Joe Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination and run instead as an independent candidate, in a move that could upset the 2024 race for the White House.

Kennedy, 69 and a scion of a famous political dynasty – a son of the former US attorney general and New York senator Robert F Kennedy, and a nephew of the former president John F Kennedy – will announce his run in Pennsylvania on 9 October, according to Mediaite.

• RFK Jr draws quite a crowd – what does it mean for 2024?

“Bobby feels that the Democratic National Committee is changing the rules to exclude his candidacy so an independent run is the only way to go,” the website quoted a “Kennedy campaign insider” as saying.

Whether Kennedy; Cornel West, the Green party pick; or a notional nominee backed by No Labels, a supposedly centrist group, a third-party candidate is widely seen to be likely to peel more support from Biden than the likely Republican nominee, Donald Trump, thereby potentially handing the presidency to the Republican.

Kennedy is an attorney who made his name as an environmental campaigner before achieving notoriety as a prominent vaccine sceptic, particularly over Covid-19. His campaign has been rife with controversy, not least in a podcast interview released this week in which he repeated a conspiracy theory about the 9/11 attacks on New York.

His campaign has also been roiled by an antisemitism scandal after Kennedy told reporters at a press dinner that Covid-19 was “ethnically targeted” at white people and Black people, while Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people had greater immunity. The false claim was embraced by neo-Nazi groups and condemned by scientists and Jewish organizations.

Kennedy’s remarks echoed antisemitic tropes that circulated widely during the pandemic and portrayed the coronavirus as a global Jewish plot, causing members of Kennedy’s own family to denounce him for “deplorable and untruthful” comments.

Polling has shown Kennedy performing relatively well against Biden, the incumbent president, in the Democratic primary, but not close to posing a serious threat.

However, Biden aides are reportedly nervous about the possible impact of third-party candidates in a likely presidential election match-up with Trump.

Polling shows widespread concerns, including among Democrats, that at 80, Biden is too old to serve an effective second term in the White House. Trump is only three years younger – and faces 91 criminal charges, including for election subversion, and assorted civil threats – but polls show less concern among his fervent Republican base that he could be unfit to return to office.

Rightwing figures – prominent among them Steve Bannon, formerly Trump’s White House strategist – have encouraged Kennedy to run against Biden or as an independent.

As cited by Mediaite, in July the Fox News host Greg Gutfeld said: “I think he should run as a third-party candidate because I do think he should, he would win.”

But not every observer thought Kennedy’s move would be bad for Biden.

Joe Conason, the editor of the National Memo, said: “Go Bobby! Running ‘independent’ means you’ll draw more voters from the candidate you resemble most in political ideology, personal conduct, and narcissistic mentality. (That’s Trump, not Biden.)”

IMDb user review:

quote:

• "The choppy editing makes this mockumentary unwatchable; it appears to be diced up in an attempt to hide Tom's unconvincing performance as "Stanley Kubrick" but the effect just turns a terrible performance in to a terrible, badly edited performance."

--o-O-o--


I created an account on IMDb to so that I can give a review too, if they let me! it is "pending" now because I do not see it yet!

• My user IMDb review October 2nd 2023 (pending) quote:

Multiple "fact-checkers sites" laughing about how many trolls used clippings of this mockumentary to ridicule anyone investigating controversial claims.

The art of deception is a given being an actor, so from that point of view I decided not give it just 1 star but 2 stars... and 1 star or 10 stars votes are canceled out anyway! ... (not everybody knows this)

I wonder if this is connected to "Operation Mockingbird" where it is LEGALIZED again under Obama Administration for the CIA to plant fake news and ramp up Psychological Warfare against their own citizens. This is noting new and done before until they had to go underground ... But thanks to Obama Administration: "Mass propaganda is normalized 24/7 >>> for the greater good" ... Just ask what RFK Jr. have to say about CIA "Operation Mockingbird" being revived again ... Study his own unedited words on many videos explaining it without mainstream media trying to twist what RFK Jr. really said.

unquote

Most likely my review will not be approved by Neo-Liberal-land (Hollywood land) too much truth that hurt their feelings.

cheers,
John 🦜🦋🌳

I don't have the original (can anyone else find it?), but apparently this was tweeted by RFK Jr.

If so, this may say quite a lot about him. A warmongering, neocon-like statement like this could lose him 10 million supporters overnight.

The text:

This ignominious, unprovoked, and barbaric attack on Israel must be met with world condemnation and unequivocal support for the Jewish state’s right to self-defense. We must provide Israel with whatever it needs to defend itself — now. As President, I’ll make sure that our policy is unambiguous so that the enemies of Israel will think long and hard before attempting aggression of any kind.

I applaud the strong statements of support from the Biden White House for Israel in her hour of need. However, the scale of these attacks means it is likely that Israel will need to wage a sustained military campaign to protect its citizens. Statements of support are fine, but we must follow through with unwavering, resolute, and practical action. America must stand by our ally throughout this operation and beyond as it exercises its sovereign right to self-defense.

I did wonder this morning if this would lead to a push for US engagement since support for the Ukraine is fading.

I was a little surprised. I'd thought he'd have the presidential nous to at least say something impressively statesmanlike. That's rather a poor Fail.

I see there are already 6k replies. I can't see those without a Twitter a/c. Without derailing the thread, what's the general tone of the response? Most of his Twitter followers will be (or will have been!) his hopeful supporters.
