Did Someone Just Try to Assassinate RFK Jr.?
PJ Media ^ | Sept. 16, 2023 | Rober Spencer

Posted on 09/16/2023 12:34:07 PM PDT by libstripper

Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posted the shocking news on his Twitter/X account 23 minutes after midnight on Saturday morning:

I’m very grateful that alert and fast-acting protectors from Gavin de Becker and Associates (GDBA) spotted and detained an armed man who attempted to approach me at my Hispanic Heritage speech at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles tonight. The man, wearing two shoulder holsters with loaded pistols and spare ammunition magazines was carrying a U.S. Marshal badge on a lanyard and beltclip federal ID. He identified himself as a member of my security detail. Armed GDBA team members moved quickly to isolate and detain the man until LAPD arrived to make the arrest. I’m also grateful to LAPD for its rapid response. I’m still entertaining a hope that President Biden will allow me Secret Service protection. I am the first presidential candidate in history to whom the White House has denied a request for protection.

Bobby is the only candidate opposing Biden at this time

Not even in his own party. There is Marianne Williamson.

Then all the Republicans.

It is JUST like the ever-creepier Obama to petulantly deny Secret Service protection to a candidate who might well upset his apple cart.

If Trump picked RFK jr as his Vice president running mate, it would be GAME OVER

I think such a move would also protect RFK's life. Nutcases are seldom after vice presidential candidates. It's a much safer route for a man named Kennedy.

No. The Biden Crime Family just sent him a message. “We can get to you. Do you want to join the Dead Kennedys?”

Title 18 U.S.C.’ 3056(a)(7) authorizes the U.S. Secret Service to provide protection for major Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates:

Protection is authorized by the DHS Secretary after consultation with the Congressional Advisory Committee;

The Congressional Advisory Committee includes: Speaker of the House, House Minority Leader, Senate Majority Leader, Senate Minority Leader, and one additional member selected by the others;

Protection under these guidelines should only be granted within one year prior to the general election.

RFK Jr. is, therefore not yet eligible for Secret Service protection.

In fairness to the old socialist coot, it isn’t up to Biden whether RFK Jr. gets a protective detail.

People disparage Trump about his marriages and relationships with women.

RFK, Jr., makes Trump look like a saint. We do NOT want him on the ticket with PDJT.

“A new book claims Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was a serial cheater who proposed to second wife Mary Richardson while still married to first wife Emily Black, and later allegedly encouraged Mary to commit suicide.”
