Anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made his White House bid official Wednesday with a campaign kick-off event in Boston, standing alongside his actress wife, Cheryl Hines.
Kennedy gave a rambling speech, remarking how the U.S. would have a 'really funny first lady' if he's elected, while admitting that most of the Kennedy clan wasn't backing his run for the Democratic nomination against President Joe Biden.
'There are other members of my family who are not here today,' the 69-year-old Kennedy scion said to laughs after giving shout-outs to the handful who were in the crowd. 'I know most American families - they never have any differences with each other,' he said sarcastically.
He spoke about how his family members 'have different views on politics in this country' and have 'long personal relationships with President Biden' - as a number of Kennedys work for the current administration.
Kennedy said they disagreed with him on issues including government censorship, war and public health - alluding to his prominent vaccine skepticism.
'And I love them back,' the newly minted candidate noted, telling the crowd that family members wrote him 'beautiful letters of love' this week ahead of his announcement, as well as calling and emailing him.
'We have a polarization in this country today that is so toxic and so dangerous at any time since the Civil War,' Kennedy said. 'And part of the principle mission of my campaign and on my presidency is going to be to end that division.'
'I'll try to do that by encouraging people to talk about the values that we have in common, rather than the issues that keep us apart,' Kennedy added.

Vultures beginning to circle Biden.
Vultures do not eat fecal matter.
Hmmmm ....
Hypothetically, I could register as a democRAT, just to vote for him in the primary. Because FJB.
I can already hear the skeletons being moved into place. Most democommies will find it too hard to listen to him try to speak.
A debate could be crippling for Biden.
A funny First Lady would be refreshing. Tough to pull off.

How crazy does it seem that one of Bobby Kennedy’s kids is now 69, seeking the presidency at an age older than Reagan was for the 1980 election.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr has way way too much seriously bad baggage on his tail and so they’ll do him in fast.
Operation Chaos lives. Thanks Rush, you are missed.
One of the only democrats I could possibly think about maybe voting for (if I was to vote for a democrat)
Does the Kennedy name still have any political power?
And is it possible that people behind the scenes know that Biden is not running for re-election, but they just don’t want to officially announce anything yet?
Didn’t know he was married to Cheryl Hines. She was good on “Curb Your Enthusiasm”.
That gave us Obama
Biden has been kicked to the curb.
The RATS will cover for his payoffs from Ukraine and China but they want him GONE.
I suspect that there is much to what you’ve suggested. The party doesn’t want him seen as a lame duck president unsupported by the party. Would be a massive loss of power and influence domestically and internationally.
Actually, they do.
Seems that Kamala is also being pushed aside.
She initially ran for president, and certainly expected herself to be next in line when she accepted the VP slot.
OK, aside from his being anti-vaxx, what are Robert Kennedy’s policies on:
Immigration,
National Defense,
Energy,
Education,
Government size,
the budget deficit,
China, Russia and the Middle East,
taxes,
regulations
Let’s start there.
Or we will find out what it takes for the elites to crap on the Kennedy name.
McCain and Romney, more like it.
