Heavily armed man posing as federal agent arrested at RFK Jr. campaign event, as Secret Service protection continues to be denied to his campaign
American Thinker ^ | 09/17/23 | Thomas Lifson

In an exclusive report, The Epoch Times writes:

An armed man was arrested by police at an event attended by Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Photos provided to The Epoch Times show the man, who was wearing a shirt with "EMS" on the back, being held in handcuffs by police officers outside the event venue in Los Angeles on Friday afternoon. Multiple police vehicles were at the scene.

As the candidate himself revealed on X, the potential assassin carried a United States Marshals badge:

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.

It is is absolutely outrageous that the feds denied RFK Jr.’s request for protection last July.

Alejandro Mayorkas, Secretary of DHS, who has lied about the border being secure and has bungled his job, bears ultimate responsibility for denying protection. But in the wake of the Secret Service declaring that it could not determine who secreted cocaine in the world’s most heavily monitored building, the White House,

RFK Jr should get his own security. If SS on the off chance finally decides to show up and do their job, RFK’s security should beat them living hell out of them.

I think of heavily armed as a battle rifle and some grenades.

In these times, he's probably safer without SS protection.

As I just posted on the other thread, it is JUST like the ever-creepier Obama to petulantly deny Secret Service protection to a candidate who might well upset his apple cart.

And don’t tell me it’s Biden making the decisions. That ship long ago sailed.

Biden can’t buckle his belt without Pete Buttagig.

I agree. So a man whose father and uncle were assassinated isn’t a target for a nut case who thinks three dead Kennedys will make him famous? Try getting re-elected after that.

Makes you wonder what the Rat’s internal polling is saying about RFK Jr

Have they reached the point where they are actually considering using a bullet to get him out of the race?

I know they have no moral qualms, but have they finally decided that they can get away with it? That’s the basis for all leftist decisions: “Can we get away with it?”

He has his own. That’s how this guy was stopped. Should keep them, and send Biden the bill.

I thought they only get secret service protection after they win the primary.

Did you hear the most outrageous aspect of the incident? When Kennedy’s security wanted to turn the guy and the case over to the FBI, the Bureau declined to take the case.

Federal agent posing as a citizen posing as a federal agent.

Exactly. And they probably released him out the back door of the jail, and we will hear nothing more about this incident.
