CLG News has learned and confirmed with several reputable sources within the Libertarian Party (LP) that Robert Kennedy, Jr., will or has already made a sizable donation to the LP. Further, sources confirm that he will, at least passively, seek the Libertarian Party nomination to be its candidate for President of the United States.
Given the enormous hurdles he faces for ballot access and the costs of obtaining it in 50 states, RFK Jr. is no doubt attempting to win the Libertarian Party nomination for the ballot access that the LP has secured in at least 48 states.
Michael Rectenwald, a leading Libertarian Party candidate for the LP presidential nomination, wrote to CLG News about this development:
"For Libertarians, the argument against RFK Jr. is simple. RFK Jr. is not a libertarian in any sense of the word. He's a statist who believes the State is the solution to all our problems, whereas Libertarians know that the State is the problem itself. He intends to add layers to the behemoth that is the federal government, including for first-time homeowners a guaranteed 3% mortgage program backed by the federal government and tied to the federal bond market. He has said that this program would be like having a 'rich uncle' cosign on mortgage loans. I ask what rich uncle this might be. Would that be Uncle Sam, who is 34.5 trillion dollars in debt? ...
"It would be an utter travesty if the Libertarian Party were to nominate RFK Jr. But I find it extremely unlikely. So, it will mean that I will defeat a Kennedy in a political contest..."

I don’t care what party he chooses. The name “Kennedy” will be enough to take the liberal Catholic vote away from Biden in places like Boston, NYC, Philly.
This should scare the crap out of the Democrats, given that they are losing the black vote and “Legal” Hispanic vote. There aren’t enough LGBTLMNOP votes to cover for it.
“I am sure Never Trumpers and Democrats are extatic about this news.”
“And maybe even ecstatic!”
Otto Carrot strikes again, and again, and again...
*Compared with RFK, Jr., Gary Johnson is like the reincarnation of Murray Rothbard.*
What a waste. Couda ran for senate after 8 years as Gov. It was beneath him but the WH wasn’t when there’s no chance?
A big government climate change advocate wanting to be the libertarian standard bearer? If the libertarians choose him, then the term “libertarian” has lost its meaning.
RFK Junior doesn’t reflect any Libertarian thought or philosophy in his political positions. Hard to believe any real Libertarian will vote for someone who’s clearly not a libertarian.
You are correct, my friend. he has been good on the vax. What I meant to say was RFK jr DID say that "climate denier's should be thrown in prison" and that was just a couple years or so ago... My bad.
Yikes. I didn’t know he said that about climate deniers.
I was gobsmacked when posters on this forum were enthusiastic about RFK as a VP pick. Also Tulsi Gabbard.
