When Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his primary challenge to Joe Biden in April, the media shrugged him off as a meme candidate who would soon collide with political reality. Two months later, Kennedy is polling as high as 20% and his campaign is gaining momentum. And the media — unwilling to let Biden be primaried by this pedigreed populist — have decided it’s time to step in.
And step in they have. Over the past weeks, major print and broadcast organizations have laid the foundations for a powerful narrative designed to hobble Kennedy’s campaign before a single vote is cast. The strategy is to disqualify Kennedy by labeling him a font of misinformation, out to serve America’s monied technocrats. In other words: a Republican in Kennedy clothes.

Yes, much like Tulsi Gabbard, but that doesn’t seem to prevent a bunch on FR from thinking she’s the perfect VP pick for Trump.
I’m amazed at the so-called Conservative support on Twitter, for the Hawaiian democrat.
In other words: a Republican in Kennedy clothes.
RFK Jr. sounds reasonable only some of the time. I see him as being a major bait & switch candidate for the (D) party.
Fact is that Biden is unsustainable. Which is probably why the media is so worried.
Basement dwelling Biden didn’t get close to 81 million votes. >>> Well he did get 81M votes. it’s just their were only 70M people who voted for him. Each mail in ballot produces 3 votes for the dem side.
He’s right on some issues. He’s for closing the border and against trans athletes in women’s sports. He is pro-abortion and extreme on the environment. I don’t think I can get past those issues but I do respect him.
Gr list!
You did forget Hitler lover
“Because Newsom has already been approved and appointed...”
Yes.
They didn’t shoot enough Kennedys.
I can’t believe someone, somewhere in America is trying to revive “Camelot’’.
The swamp will not allow Kennedy in the Nov final.
If we play it right, Kennedy primary voters are our voters in November.
We are a coalition. We do not all agree on everything. We do agree on more things that we do with Biden.
We need to see that in a broader context that just Kennedy voters. Many voters are moving from Democrat rust belt cities to jobs in Red states. They see that red state policies work better than blue state policies.
They are ripe for conversion.
But will we welcome them in or alienate them as if they are the problem and not the Bidens, Schumers, AOCs.
GA has a new State GOP Chair. Will his new policy be to welcome a growing party? Or to hide inside a country club like his predecessor?
It’s going to be Newsome/Buttigig.
RE: Which will survive - the woke narrative or the Kennedy aura?

Kennedy.
People yearn for the old days, not just me but most now want the pre-Covid, pre-BLM days. JFK would have been a Republican today.
Media will have to shut up or later will start with “Is it time to take another look at Robert Kennedy,Jr”
If kennedy ran as a third party —it would guarantee a second trump term as kennedy would take much more from democrats than republicans
I want to end the major news outlets.
Trump/Kennedy2024…
Now there’s a democrat and RINO nightmare scenario …
You can hear the urine running down their legs right now with the thought of it.
Down to brass tacks... it’s control they are after.
The media sifts out anyone who dares show any strength.. and tries to take them down.
The deep state wants the controls and sets any trap they can to get anyone who shows any competition
The media is for the deep state.. the left.. the dems.. as long as they are in agreement on control.
Deep State killed Kennedy’s kin
so yeah
Trump and Kennedy are against Deep State
Yes
Scratch the surface and underneath is a full on leftist democrat.
He’s giving the dems fits, that rocks!

I’m not a Kennedy fan by any means, but the target is on his back. I fear that they really would go that far. They have before.
If he does make it to the primaries, we’re gonna need much more popcorn!! 🍿🍿🍿🍿
