CLG News has learned and confirmed with several reputable sources within the Libertarian Party (LP) that Robert Kennedy, Jr., will or has already made a sizable donation to the LP. Further, sources confirm that he will, at least passively, seek the Libertarian Party nomination to be its candidate for President of the United States.
Given the enormous hurdles he faces for ballot access and the costs of obtaining it in 50 states, RFK Jr. is no doubt attempting to win the Libertarian Party nomination for the ballot access that the LP has secured in at least 48 states.
Michael Rectenwald, a leading Libertarian Party candidate for the LP presidential nomination, wrote to CLG News about this development:
"For Libertarians, the argument against RFK Jr. is simple. RFK Jr. is not a libertarian in any sense of the word. He's a statist who believes the State is the solution to all our problems, whereas Libertarians know that the State is the problem itself. He intends to add layers to the behemoth that is the federal government, including for first-time homeowners a guaranteed 3% mortgage program backed by the federal government and tied to the federal bond market. He has said that this program would be like having a 'rich uncle' cosign on mortgage loans. I ask what rich uncle this might be. Would that be Uncle Sam, who is 34.5 trillion dollars in debt? ...
"It would be an utter travesty if the Libertarian Party were to nominate RFK Jr. But I find it extremely unlikely. So, it will mean that I will defeat a Kennedy in a political contest..."

I guess that might be an improvement to the others they’ve picked in the past, but such a waste of time and money.
Lol. The average RINO is more libertarian than him.
Jeeze, if you weren’t 90% crackpot you might’ve had a chance, Robert. Your one issue mambo ain’t gonna’ cut it.
.
I don’t think so at all. Gary Johnson was orders of magnitude better than RFK Jr. I don’t know that much about Jorgensen, but from the little I do she was much better than him. The only freedom he thinks Americans should have is not to take a vaccine.
Makes sense.
We have folks self identifying as MAGA that aren’t MAGA in the slightest. We may as well have libertarians that aren’t libertarian in the slightest.
PS six months=zero pull back-I’m still waiting on the outrage that will never, ever be coming.
I may disagree with him pn a number of issues but on some very important ones he is the only one talking about them. Trump and Biden aren’t and neither have any real solutions for the problems we are going to face soon enough.
I gave Gary Johnson serious consideration in 2016 … until he came out for a carbon tax. Ain’t nuthin’ small government about that.
You won’t get any problems solved with jaggoff Bobby Kennedy jr.
I don’t know about that, he can’t be any worse than we have had. At least he is talking about things the other two aren’t.
What’s the point of putting Suzie Googlebux in as VP if she won’t buy you ballot access? The word Libertarian repels many who are drawn to the name Kennedy.
I’m not saying Gary Johnson is at the top of my list, but he definitely had a lot of better points than Kennedy. I forgot about the carbon tax but I can’t really explain why he would have done that especially as the Libertarian candidate. Maybe I’m missing something but that seems like an own goal.
No chance of winning, and he’ll suck votes from Biden.
You go, guy!
Good for Robert. He was right on some issue, but over all, the Lib Party is a good fit for him.
And maybe even ecstatic!
The purpose of the Libertarian Party is to suck votes away from Republicans. RFK Jr. sucks them away from Democrats, hence they will NOT tolerate him.
RFK, jr is a card carrying libtard Democrat who’s only saving grace is being anti vaxx.
Living in Kalifornia I often vote libertarian on principle. RFK isn’t even remotely close to any of the party positions, except maybe the vax mandates and a smidgen of foreign policy. But they wouldn’t be the first party to sell their souls
