Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced an independent presidential bid Monday steps away from Independence Hall in Philadelphia, a move that was swiftly condemned by several members of his famous family.
Kennedy, a prominent anti-vaxxer, first announced a presidential bid in April - saying then that he planned to challenge President Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination in a nearly two-hour long speech in Boston.
On Monday, alongside his actress wife Cheryl Hines, he changed his tune - saying he wanted independence from the two political parties.
'I'm here to declare myself an independent candidate,' Kennedy said in front of several hundred supporters, whose cheers broke up his announcement. 'Candidate for president of the United States of America.'
He said he didn't come to the decision 'lightly.' 'It's very painful for me to let go of the party of my uncles, my father, my grandfather and both of my great-grandfathers,' Kennedy said.
Four members of Kennedy's politically famous family - Rory, Kerry, Joseph P. Kennedy II and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend - issued a joint statement saying they were against his independent bid, calling the move 'dangerous' and 'deeply saddening.'

Things ate getting interesting. A 3 way debate on the alleged COVID vaccines and running up the debt should be interesting.
Good for Bob. I wish him well. He is probably gonna be assassinated by Biden’s goons.
Well, the Democraps are nuts. What can you do?
Could push the election in to the House of Representatives
RFK Jr. can’t win but he’s drawn a line in the sand with the democrat party. I give him nothing but respect and admiration for the stances he has taken. If that lousy family of his rejects his decision, he’s defiantly on the right track. They’re all a bunch of whiny lefties.
A split ticket on the RAT side will almost guarantee another Trump presidency. What we really need is at least 20 more seats in the House and at least 6 in the Senate.
Have to account for the RINO POS that are there now and probably will get reelected.
This was the plan all the entire time.
“I give him nothing but respect and admiration for the stances he has taken.”

From 2006...
And, in an amazing coinkydink, CA just banned the hand counting of ballots.
Four way race:
RFK/Gabbard (Prog)
Pence/Sununu (R)
Newsom/Whitmer (D)
Trump/Lake (National)
Party like it’s 1860. Because it is.
RE: Could push the election in to the House of Representatives
Led by the courageous and powerful long time leader.....who was it again?
Probably take 15 votes to decide on whether the Speaker would be allowed to speak on the topic.
Since the Democrats plan their election cheating decades in advance this can only F with their script.
Never trust a Kennedy.
If he matches Perot, he will get 19 percent in the general election. And no electoral votes
Never trust a Deep Stater.
Yes. Good posting. I have been somewhat appalled to see people on this website openly saying they would consider voting for RFK Jr.
I appreciate his stance on aspects of vaccines and his speaking out publicly and combatatively on them (what I expected REAL (imagined) conservatives to do, but with almost no exceptions, on nearly all other subjects, he might as well be Barack Obama or Joe Biden.
