For a long while, it appeared that Joe Biden would have no primary challengers, but now the son of RFK has decided to throw his hat into the ring for whatever reason. Maybe because he does not believe Biden hiding in his basement, will work this time around. Or he could just believe that the American people are fed up with high inflation and low credibility among world leaders and could send him to the Oval Office.
Kennedy’s father was assassinated by Sirhan Sirhan when Jr was just a boy as he was running for the White House. His Uncle, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was president. His father was JFK’s U.S. Attorney General. Kennedy is not a dyed-in-the-wool fanatic like the rest of the Democrats and that could be an advantage during the primaries. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the establishment will not allow him to win. Plus the Democrats have super delegates whose vote has nothing to do with the primaries. That is what killed Hillary in 2008 as the super delegates lined up for Obama.
Sister Toldjah described a contentious exchange between Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Chairman of the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, and Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-NY) during a recent subcommittee hearing:
“We’re here talking about Twitter. Twitter,” Goldman whined. “And even with Twitter, you cannot find actual evidence of any direct government censorship of any lawful speech. And when I say lawful, I mean non-criminal speech because plenty of speech is non-criminal.”
Jordan countered him with the following remarks:
“I’d ask unanimous consent to enter into the record the following email from Clark Humphrey, Executive Office of the Presidency, White House office, Jan. 23, 2021, that’s the Biden administration, 4:39 a.m., ‘Hey, folks,’ … this goes to Twitter… ‘Hey, folks wanted to’ — they use the term Mr. Goldman just used — ‘wanted to flag the below tweet, and then wondering if we can get moving on the process for having it removed, ASAP.”

And, perhaps his worst sin, Kennedy had the temerity to challenge Dr. Anthony Fauci, writing a 2021 book highly critical of the former NIAID director and chief medical advisor to the president:
Kennedy released a book in 2021, “The Real Anthony Fauci,” in which he accused the U.S.’s top infectious disease doctor of assisting in “a historic coup d’etat against Western democracy” and promoted unproven COVID-19 treatments such as ivermectin, which is meant to treat parasites, and the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine.
Kennedy’s advocacy prompted his association with unsavory insurrection-y types, as well.
His push against the COVID-19 vaccine has linked him at times with anti-democratic figures and groups. Kennedy has appeared at events pushing the lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen and with people who cheered or downplayed the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

I personally think the JFK Jr. candidacy (as a Democrat candidate) is doomed from the outset. I sincerely doubt that his self-identification with Democrats (his choice), indisputably the party of chaos, open borders, Ukraine, shutting off American energy resources, reckless spending, rule by Executive Orders, on-going voter and election fraud, inflation, weaponized federal government agencies (e.g. IRS, FBI, ATF, CIA), J6 political prisoners, vaccines and mandates, the irrefutable demolition of the military readiness of our Armed Forces, defund the police, grooming of young children, pronouns, transgender physical mutilation of your body, indictment of a former president, spying on Americans, attempts to impose repressive gun control if not outright confiscation, no bail for criminals, sanctuary cities, anti-Christian, institutionalized racial preferences (employment and education) that marginalize Caucasians, government disinformation, denial of free speech, tech companies censorship of viewpoints, etc. And now at least one Democrat state is trying to legalize fentanyl for personal use. The list of horrors that the Democrat Party stands for seems endless. I doubt anybody that (by choice of political party) identifies with those values (i.e., self-identifies as a Democrat) has a snowballs chance in hell in 2024. Had JFK Jr. run as a Republican, then maybe, if not very likely, he would be enthusiastically embraced by the majority of moral and ethical Americans. I doubt that will ever happen as a Democrat. By running as a Democrat, he comes with the unstated personal endorsement of everything Democrats have done and currently stand for. Had he run as a Republican or Independent, I may have considered voting for him.
2 see a Kennedy take a Biden down.
