RNC slams RFK Jr. over switch to independent: ‘Still a Democrat’
The Hill ^ | 10-9-2023 | JULIA MUELLER

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel on Monday knocked presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over his switch from a Democratic bid to an independent run.

“Make no mistake — a Democrat in Independent’s clothing is still a Democrat,” McDaniel said in a statement.

“RFK Jr. cannot hide from his record of endorsing Hillary, supporting the Green New Deal, fighting against the Keystone Pipeline, and praising [Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-N.Y.)] tax hikes — he is your typical elitist liberal and voters won’t be fooled,” McDaniel said.

After campaigning as a Democratic challenger to incumbent President Biden, who is running for reelection, Kennedy switched to declare himself as an independent candidate.

And make no mistake Ronna McRomeny, that a fat woman spending upwards of $75k a year on spa days is still a fat woman.

It’s easy to see how he’d hurt DJT more than the Rat Party nominee.

He’s even slimier than a demoncrat, he’s a Kennedy.

Criticizing why? Do they think this hurts Republicans?

The RNC is one long death march.

They shoot themselves in the foot each step of the way.

Let the Democrats attack him—and stay out of the way.

The enemy of your enemy is your friend. I would have traded parties to primary him.

It doesn’t hurt Trump, but Ronna’s not for Trump. She’s for Ron or any other establishment candidate that can beat Trump in the primary.

Ronna McRomney is not for MAGA, she’s for the GOP same old same old.

She’s Trump’s pick. Are you saying another bad pick and that she has turned on Trump ?

All professional politicians compromise and change positions to suit the donors and voting blocs.

John F. Kennedy in one of the biographies of brother-in-law actor Peter Lawford was closer to his father Joseph P. Kennedy about the back burner fate of the civil rights movement. The father saw a black friend of Lawford sunning himself on the row of chaise chairs by the pool as he looked down from an upper floor window. “Get him out of here. This isn’t an integrated hotel. If he guests see him they’ll think he lives here and it won’t be a five star hotel any longer. Get him out-—now!”

Later JFK was talking to Lawford after a civil rights setback in court for Robert Kennedy. He gestured toward his brother and shook his head: “There’s Bobby depressed again over his negroes.”

“She’s Trump’s pick. Are you saying another bad pick and that she has turned on Trump ?”

Has Trump ever had any picks that did NOT turn on him?

Trump said RFK Jr. is a “very smart man” two months ago. RFK jr is likely to run ads with Trump saying that.
