RNC slams RFK Jr. over switch to independent: ‘Still a Democrat’

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.

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

Don’t know that she’s turned on Trump but she was not as talented as Priebus in that job. He turned things around after the Michael Steele disaster and he delivered for Trump with a masterful GOTV operation. He was quite a lousy White House Chief of Staff. McDaniel seems to more just a figurehead than a leader.

Doubt this hurts Trump. It gives the RATS who are fed up with Biden a place to go.

Probably more, it may split the democratic party.

Wow - nice counter punch by Ronna McDaniel.

I never saw that coming.

I hope Trump was paying attention.

Trump has not thrown a consequential counter punch since the 2016 GOP Primaries.
