RFK Jr. gives brutal response to Kamala Harris endorsement pressure

August 15, 2024 | | Print Article

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. addressed rumors that he may be looking to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris in exchange for a position in a hypothetical Harris administration.

Early Thursday, he took to X to shut down suspicions that he may be looking to throw his weight behind the presumptive Democrat presidential nominee, saying that he still plans to continue his own campaign and will “defeat her.”

“VP Harris’s Democratic Party would be unrecognizable to my father and uncle and I cannot reconcile it with my values. The Democratic Party of RFK and JFK was the party of civil liberties and free speech,” he wrote. “VP Harris’s is the party of censorship, lockdowns, and medical coercion. Kennedy Democrats were anti-war. Kamala’s is riddled with neocon warmongers. The RFK/JFK dems were allies of Main Street, cops, firefighters, and working people. VP Harris’s is the Party of Big Tech, Big Pharma, and Wall Street. My dad and uncle’s party was the champion of voting rights and fair elections. VP Harris’s is the party of lawfare, disenfranchisement, and the coronation of its candidates by corporate donors and party elites.”

“I’ve used our nation’s courts to prosecute corporations who hurt Black Americans. VP Harris used our nation’s courts to mercilessly prosecute Black Americans and exploit them for their labor,” the third-party candidate continued. “My father and uncle prided themselves on their skills at debate and their ability to articulate a coherent vision for our country. VP Harris is scared to debate and can’t survive an unscripted interview. Instead of outlining a vision, she relies on middle school tactics – memes, forged headlines, infantile slogans (Joy!), and name calling (“Republicans are weird.“) I’ve spent years battling government corruption and lies. VP Harris spent years gaslighting Americans about the health of our Commander in Chief. I have no plans to endorse Kamala Harris for President. I do have a plan to defeat her.”

As BizPac Review previously reported, the Washington Post published an article claiming RFK was looking to use his capacity to siphon votes away from the Democrat Party as a way to potentially receive a high-level position within a Harris presidency.

Citing Kennedy campaign officials, the paper reported that the third-party hopeful “sought a meeting last week with Democratic nominee Kamala Harris to discuss the possibility of serving in her administration, perhaps as a Cabinet secretary, if he throws his support behind her campaign and she wins.”

“Harris and her advisers have not responded with an offer to meet or shown interest in the proposal, say people familiar with the conversations,” according to WaPo which reported that Kennedy used intermediaries to put out feelers to Harris who was undemocratically installed to replace Biden after receiving zero primary votes.
