ByeDone has refused to give JFK Jr SS protection that has always been given to Presidential candidates.
What does that tell you?
People keep saying that, that candidates get protection, but it’s more complicated than that. I had some vague awareness before, but the actual details are below. It would not be automatic for any candidate at this early stage. I doubt any of the candidates except Biden and Trump have it, and they because of their incumbent and past presidential status.
That said, it should have been granted here. I dislike the kennedys as much as anyone, but the unfortunate history of their family
Members getting shot in public justifies the expense of protection
