Democrats are panicking over the candidacy of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who represents a serious threat from the left that could siphon precious votes away from Joe Biden in November.
On Tuesday, Kennedy moved to further burnish his leftist credentials by tabbing wealthy tech entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan as his running mate, a move that may not be a splashy big name but will help him to gain ballot access in a number of states where a vice presidential pick is required.
In a call hosted by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Tuesday afternoon after the announcement of his pick, Biden surrogates discussed the peril to the president’s reelection hopes and how to neutralize it.
“We are doing everything in our power to get President Biden and Vice President Harris reelected. It’s critical that we take seriously every possible obstacle to that goal. And let me be clear, that’s exactly what Robert F. Kennedy is in this election. He’s a spoiler,” said Pennsylvania Lieutenant Gov. Austin Davis who was on the call, according to Fox News.
“I am personally offended and just disgusted by his campaign,” said Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) who is one of Biden’s most devout congressional supporters. “He should be ashamed of himself. He should stop running for president.”
Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow who was also on the call fretted that RFK Jr. is only going to add to Biden’s woes in the Wolverine State where he’s already facing a Muslim mutiny over the lack of a ceasefire in Gaza.
She said it was important for her to share “how horrifying this campaign is and what it really means on the ground for Michigan.”
“Him being in the race means that there is a greater likelihood that Donald Trump will become president again,” McMorrow said.
On the call, Garcia also decried Kennedy as “a tin foil hat conspiracy theorist” for his criticism of the COVID jabs, a holy sacrament for left-wingers. RFK Jr. also took down the high priest of the COVID cult in his best-selling 2021 book titled “The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health.”
“He is anti-vaccine, he is anti-science, he is anti-truth and does nothing but put out lies and misinformation that actually damages and hurts public health across this country,” Garcia raved. “And his vice-presidential pick essentially just doubles down on these anti-vaccine conspiracies, anti-health agenda.”
After mulling other potential running mates, including New York Jets quarterback and vaccine skeptic Aaron Rodgers which ignited a firestorm, Kennedy instead settled on Shanahan, the ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who is an influential figure in Silicon Valley circles.

“RFK Jr hasn’t been looking for someone who can step up to lead in a time of crisis, he’s been looking for someone who can infuse his campaign with cash as he tries to buy his way onto the ballot to be a spoiler for Donald Trump,” DNC spokesman Matt Corridoni said in a statement to Fox News.
Biden’s almost certain Republican opponent, former President Donald J. Trump reacted to Shanahan’s pick by predicting that the regime will also resort to lawfare to take out the Kennedy ticket.
“RFK Jr. is the most Radical Left Candidate in the race, by far. He’s a big fan of the Green New Scam, and other economy killing disasters. I guess this would mean he is going to be taking votes from Crooked Joe Biden, which would be a great service to America,” Trump said in a post to Truth Social.
“His running mate, Nicole Shanahan, is even more ‘Liberal’ than him, if that’s possible. Kennedy is a Radical Left Democrat, and always will be!!! It’s great for MAGA, but the Communists will make it very hard for him to get on the Ballot. Expect him, and her, to be indicted any day now, probably for Environmental Fraud! He is Crooked Joe Biden’s Political Opponent, not mine. I love that he is running!” Trump added, relishing the idea that RFK Jr. is going to pull enough of the leftist vote to put him back in the White House.
