Actor Rob Schneider, a one-time “lifelong Democrat” who said in 2017 that he was “definitely more conservative” while changing his voter registration to independent, has come out in support of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
The “Saturday Night Live” alum shared a photo taken with the son of former U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1968 while running for president
“Inspiring, hopeful, courageous and most importantly (like his father) compassionate. It’s my honor to support @RobertKennedyJr,” Schneider tweeted, adding the hashtag: #Kennedy2024.

RFK Jr. is challenging President Joe Biden in the Democratic Party primary and the environmental lawyer is beginning to make some in the party nervous as his poll numbers improve.
Kennedy thanked Schneider for his endorsement by sharing the same photo, adding: ” Thanks @RobSchneider for your years of courage + MCing a successful #Kennedy24 fundraiser last night in Brentwood.”

One social media user suggested Schneider would make for a hilarious White House press secretary, should Kennedy prevail in his presidential bid:
I nominate @RobSchneider for press secretary. Those briefings would be the funniest of all time.

Here’s a sampling of other responses to the story from Twitter where Schneider’s name went viral:
@RobSchneider I knew you cared about our country and the American people! Keep spreading the message of @RobertKennedyJr ! This country needs a leader to take us into the today, tomorrow and the future!!!

Trump appreciates your vote.

I’ve voted Republican in every election since I was able to vote. Robert Kennedy jr is the ONLY Democrat I’ve ever even considered voting for! I’d like to see more town halls and what he could do in the debates!

The best thing that could happen is if RFK Jr beats Biden in the primary. If we ended up with RFK vs Trump, that would be two reasonable options.
Biden is beyond horrible and is controlled by the hard left. He must be avoided no matter what.

Holy crap! But they said you were a hard right wing extremist! Isn’t he a democrat? I’m so confused….or are you actually making decisions based on principles?

A @realDonaldTrump & @RobertKennedyJr admin would unite the silent majority.
