Trump Thanks RFK for ‘Nice Endorsement’, Teases More to Come Friday Night
Breitbart ^ | 08/23/2024 | Bradley Jaye

Posted on 08/23/2024 1:24:35 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Donald Trump thanked Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Friday after the scion of the legendary family offered him a dynamic-shifting endorsement.

Kennedy stated Friday he is suspending his campaign but not ending it, urging residents of blue states to vote for him but throwing his support behind former President Donald Trump in battleground states.

The distinction is important for Kennedy, whose candidacy was composed of supporters and volunteers from across the political spectrum.

But Kennedy ripped Trump’s opponent, Kamala Harris, while praising Trump Friday, and for all practical purposes, this is an endorsement, plain and simple.

Good that he did so before early voting started.

I got an email from Trump stating that RFK Jr. is now backing Trump.

Lame Stream Media calls RFK, Jr. a Russian agent in 3-2-1…

And I think he gave a long speech that should be listened to. Very interesting...

Themes emerging strong for Trump:

Border, Jobs, Taxes, Trade, No War, America First

Now add Health, Children

If Trump, Vance and now RFK Jr, hit the pavement hard in swing states with these themes, could be a very compelling argrument.

Dems in private have to be unhappy that they kicked RFK Jr to the curb.

Let’s not forget Tulsi Gabbard.

What if RFK Jr. get a hold of the FDA and Gabbard the VA in a Trump Administration and they campaign as such?

They outline a positive message and you get two good additional people on the campaign trail.

The mainstream media is obviously downplaying the significance of the RFK endorsement, parroting the Harris campaign’s talking points that RFK’s support was minimal and his voters were low propensity. Even Fox, through hacks like Juan Williams, was airing dismissive comments.

Personally, I think this is a political earthquake. It’s hard to overstate how important and beloved the Kennedys once were in the Democratic party. For Bobby Jr to come out and recite everything that’s wrong with that party is going to leave a mark. This isn’t Liz Cheney or Jenna Bush endorsing the Democrats. RFK Jr is a serious guy. When he says, “This is not the democratic party of my uncle and father,” it carries weight. This is going the accelerate the alignment of the white middle class with Trump and the GOP.

Me too!!! I absolutely love RFK’s stance on taking out the FDA (God willing he is appointed to head it up) or HHS...or CIA..

His speech was really remarkable and people heard what he said for the first time ever; how bad of shape our food industry is in particular.

Kennedy did more to eviscerate the Democrat party than anyone in Republican leadership. That should tell thinking people something.

Well I put my pessimism to the test and happily was wrong. I don’t think it’s “checkmate” as rfk says it is bit it’s an incredible opportunity.

it is a must listen- all the things we rant about?? RFK did so in a dignified manner giving all kinds of evidence...

He compared his support for President Trump to Lincoln’s team of rivals- it was sheer brilliance!!

He didn’t hold back, that’s for sure. It was an epic payback for what the Dems and media did to him, but I do believe there’s was a large amount of sincerity with respect to his concerns about the direction of the country. It was a beautiful thing to watch.

“Even Fox, through hacks like Juan Williams, was airing dismissive comments.”

Let me reword that...The slimy Fox which still employees leftist hacks like Juan Williams....

They can minimize it all they want—but anyone with an IQ above room temperature knows exactly what this means....

I hope they don’t try to assassinate him. Of course that would only push more voters over to Trump.

Maybe they’ll do what they did to Teddy. They knew they couldn’t kill all three brothers so they set up the Mary Jo accident.

We are entering a very dangerous period of time. The enemy is desperate and will resort to anything. Anywhere RFKJr & DJT are appearing together needs extra protection.
