A year after repeated requests from independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., he now has Secret Service protection. President Joe Biden relented after the attempted assassination Saturday of Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Penn. and Trump calling for Kennedy’s protection.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced on Monday that the order came directly from Biden, a clear indication that Biden has been responsible for withholding such protection from the son of an assassinated presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy, and the nephew of an assassinated president, John F. Kennedy.
“Thank you to President Biden for granting me Secret Service protection. And I am so grateful to Gavin deBecker & Associates for the last 15 months of my Presidential campaign,” Kennedy Jr. said in a post on X/Twitter. Kennedy has had to pay for his own protection, which may have been due to his perceived political threat to Biden’s presidency. Kennedy was a Democrat, but after being snubbed by the Democrat party, switched to independent.
Also, it was observed at the Republican National Convention, Trump had been given increased Secret Service protection when he entered the Fiserve Forum arena in Milwaukee, Wis. on the first day of the Republican National Convention. He survived the assassination attempt and critics have said that the security detail that was assigned to him was less than prepared, and that some of the officers were demonstrably incompetent.
About time. Common sense.
About time.
Biden’s handlers probably realize throwing a wild card into the race by granting RFK Jr. ‘legitimacy’ is the only path Biden has to win at this stage. Its a real long shot – most polling shows RFK Jr draws fairly evenly from both camps. And it varies by state. But if you have jack shit in your hand, you might as well flip the table.
I like RFK Jr. – as a Democrat. I prefer him to some of the scummier Republicans, and he was even better than Trump on COVID.
But Trump is the only one that has the Deep State scared enough to resort to lawfare and murder. He’s the best chance we have at righting this ship before its too late.
The biggest question is why did this young white Christian Conservative male have access to this weapon and why did he try to neutralize the leader of his own party? I believe it is legal in Pennsylvania to carry a long gun in public. Nonetheless he got within 150 yards of a presidential candidate. Interesting how many have used this event to spout their misogynist views regarding the Secret Service and their employees. Mike Johnson sure was eloquent after the loss of his teleprompter. I’m sure todays convention speakers will be equally dazzling in their rhetoric.
Child, are you on meds? If so, check them.
Sebastian, I have not seen anything to say this would-be assassin was a “Christian Conservative”. Yes he was young and he was white. Also, even though records show him to be a registered Republican, he did contribute to a liberal organization. I’ve read news articles (from the major media) that his father is registered Republican and his mother is registered Democrat. Since this was the first time he would have been able to vote, who knows how he would have voted. Plenty of people are registered one way or another, but doesn’t mean they always vote down the party ticket. We know there are plenty of RINOs out there. I am an adult human female. I saw these little female secret service agents and they were not able to properly protect this at least 6 foot tall man. You need people who are taller than the person they are trying to protect so that their bodies block the person they are protecting. And, yes, I witnessed a female secret service agent at the vehicle Trump was put into and that female could not get her pistol in its holster and she was clearly confused and incapable of doing her job. Does that mean that my views are misogynist when my views are taken from what I have actually seen on the videos taken by the major news media, and all of them showed the same thing? I want male and females who can do there job well and who are not put in place just to fill or meet a quota or ideology of their employer.
Hmmm, evidence that leftism is indeed a psychological condition.
I know several Democrats who vote democrat straight across the board every time but admit they are too embarrassed to register as a Democrat since the party has gone over the cliff.
OMG…Biden actually woke up for a minute!
How interesting. The secret service detail is all under direct orders from the Big Guy.
Who in their right mind would think someone would want to kill another Kennedy?
He then has the cahones to go on world wide news and call Putin a killer.
Pot calling the kettle black? Again?
As the saying goes “There is more than one way to win”
If you cant win the peoples votes you can always maneuver a way to cheat.
Competing with Joe is as dangerous as doing business with the Clintons.
Mayorkas – The guy who refuses to protect the border is also in charge of protecting Trump. Hmmm.
Can anyone imagine what would have happened if that attempt would have been on Biden instead of Trump? This administration would have had Trump in cuffs and behind bars before the sun went down.
I wrote something similar several days ago in the comments to another MRAK column. If Biden’s ear had been nicked last weekend, and the shooter was found to be in the most peripheral way affiliated with a ‘right wing’ organization, then we would have seen widespread riots by Sunday, and an outpouring of mainstream media condemnation of everything and everybody associated with the Republican Party, and of course by noon today Biden would have ordered the DoJ to destroy the NRA and every other 2nd Amendment civil rights group.
Talk about fascism… riots are a tradition in emergent fascism, and so is using lawfare against political opponents and the people. When Biden’s DoJ charges grandmothers with felony crimes for merely walking in the open doors of the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6 and taking photos…, that, my friends, is fascism.
Nancy Pelosi was in charge of security the day the grandmothers were charged with trespassing through open doors…
And yet not a word of her culpability in that FBI organized event using their own activist Ray Epps to get the wheels in motion for the so called “insurrection”.
Ha. Trump’s protection can’t even keep him protected. Maybe RFK Jr is going to get protection so that they can set up more full-proof “action” to bring RFK Jr down? They failed with Trump.
I was always amazed at how easy it was for Jack Ruby to just slip in the back door and shoot (silence) Oswald.
Nobody thought or cared about protecting the witness? or maybe they were in on the plan.
I’m not a fan of some of RFK Jr’s political views, but I have been very frustrated by the Biden Regime’s refusal until now to provide him with Secret Service protection.
Given that families history with both his father and uncle gunned down on the political stage it has been unconscionable to not provide him with Secret Service.
