  1. If there was ever a candidate who needs and merits Secret Service protection, it's RFK Jr.

  2. Time to get on that White House comment line and let this administration know that voters are disgusted by Biden denying Secret Service protection for RFK Jr.

  3. So because someone has a house you think they don't merit a little empathy when a trespasser attempts to harm them? Sorry, but that "logic" has a hole big enough to drive through. No one can say that he "has never lifted the finger". He and his wife earned that house; very little of his annual income comes from the family trust set up by his grandfather. Because it's distributed among so many relatives, none of them can live off of it and live on the scale he does. Only one of RFK Jr's adult children has been able afford his own home. Home ownership is not attainable for far too many Americans and he is the only one talking about it. He has 40+ years of practicing law taking on corrupt corporations and the government agencies they have captured, writing books, teaching law, public speaking, growing Water Keepers' Alliance and Children's Health Defense, and advocating for indigenous people. Not exactly an idle life. He did grow up with priviledge and he acknowledges it. He has also worked very hard and grew up seeing his father's assassination being replayed on television for the last 50 +years and lost more family members to tragedy than most of us. His wife grew up in poverty and has shared what it is like to not have your own bed, to worry about how you're going to afford gas to get to work or how you are going to pay for a car repair when the engine light comes on and you have no savings to fall back on. One of his best friends relies on $23/month in SNAP benefits. He has not lived in a bubble. He sees and hears real people. It's just ironic that you are choosing to attack the one candidate who really cares about everyone having a home of their own and is willing to take on the corporate investors who are out-competing regular people and buying up most of the homes, and putting them out of reach for low and middle income Americans. If he is willing to endure all the smears and threats to his safety so that he can spend 4-8 years working really hard to give the American Dream back to every American instead of retiring into a life of comfort and ease, I think he deserves a fair amount of credit for that. I hope you will check out the videos at TEAM KENNEDY and reconsider your view of him.

  4. I agree he should have SS protection. But why don't you support him if you thought his father was wonderful? Have you looked at his platform? RFK Jr is a solid old school Democrat from the same mold as his father, his uncle and FDR. None of them would even recognize the Dem party as it is today, having been taken over by corporate interests. RFK Jr. identifies as a Democrat but the DNC rigged the primary so that he had absolutely no chance of winning the nomination. That's not democracy. They forced him to run independent and it is a good thing that someone finally has the MORAL COURAGE to take on the corrupt corporate duopoly. You are certainly entitled to your opinion, I just hope that you are not misled by the smear campaigns that unfairly paint him as an anti-vaxxer or a conspiracy theorist because he is not either. He is a man of deep faith and conviction who wants to give this country back to the American people. If you haven't seen any of his videos on his TEAM KENNEDY YT channel, please take a look at them. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. All the best to you :)
