RFK Jr. Invites Further Media Ire, Praises Trump as 'Best Debater Since Lincoln'
PJ Media ^ | 07/17/2023 | Michael Van Der Galien

Posted on 07/17/2023 9:00:01 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has praised former President Donald Trump, calling him “probably the most successful debater in this country since Lincoln-Douglas.” This statement, coming from a contender for the Democratic nomination, underscores the fact that neither RFK Jr. nor Trump are your regular politicians.

RFK Jr.’s comments were made during a Fox News interview, where he emphasized the importance of President Biden participating in debates during the primaries. He argued that this would be crucial preparation for the eventual face-off against the Republican candidate, who he believes is likely to be Trump.

Kennedy’s comparison of Trump to Abraham Lincoln, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest presidents in American history, is a testament to Trump’s debating prowess. The Lincoln-Douglas debates of 1858 are considered a turning point in American political discourse, and to liken Trump’s debating skills to those of Lincoln is a significant compliment.

The Hill

News website The Hill also published an article about the RFK Jr. interview. In that interview, The Hill showed why so few people trust the mainstream media. The Democratic presidential candidate was described as an “anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist and long-shot candidate for the Democratic nomination.” Man, it must be nice to work for “objective” and “neutral” media! You can just hate on candidates you don’t like and pretend you’re “reporting the news.”

Despite the media’s portrayal, RFK Jr. continues to advocate for open debate and dialogue within the Democratic party. He has urged President Biden to participate in primary debates, likening the incumbent’s lack of preparation to a prizefighter training for a big bout “by sitting on the couch and eating Chick-fil-A.”

Apparently advocating for an open debate is radical, extreme, goofy, and dangerous nowadays, according to media like The Hill.

This written by PJ Media about a far left socialist who wants to censor conservative voices and even send people to the Hague if they disagree with the global warming narrative.

Well, from his comment, I guess Bobby doesn't feel that way anymore. Shall we punish him for his new stance?

What new stance? He’s no longer a far-left socialist? Of course he is.

Please advise when he renounced his support for bringing back the Fairness Doctrine in order to get rid of conservative talk radio? Can you provide a link?

Like Obama, you can’t ask trump hard questions about his presidencial record. Tucker softballs him all the time. Never asking him what independent voters want to know. So if we don’t t know we go with his record, big pharma blank checks, daca amnesty for a wall that isn’t complete. EUAs are only authorized for a single and serious problem. If that is why he signed them, then why don’t we know. Or, it’s an abuse of power. He stood with fauci n birx as co presidents in his last months. As a big middle finger to the constitution he gave the Marxists mail in ballots to perpetuate the tyranny to use covid tactics to expand and perpetuate tyranny.

I disagree, although I wish he was. He veers too often into vagueness and repetition.

Did he say Trump is a master debater? Did he say that the servant waits while the master bathes?

They are commenting on RFKs comment the same as they did when Trump said Putin was a very smart guy. The LameStreamMedia does not like facts that are uncomfortable to them or just becaause they want to go after the person who mentions those facts.
