The 'coke and strippers' hijacking method.
Kennedy referred to rioters in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol as “activists” and suggested they were victims of an “outrageous miscarriage of justice,” in a Thursday statement.
Well, now you’ve gone from crazy cook to stupid asshole.
Isn't this good? Only Trump voters will be attracted by this.
The Biden voters dumb enough to vote for him are also least likely to hear these statements from him.
“Hijacked”
https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-rfk-donations-timothy-mellon-fec-1872315
The biggest individual contributions to Donald Trump's and Robert F. Kennedy Jr's 2024 presidential Super PACs in January both came from the same longtime Republican mega-donor, according to filings.
On the plus side, the purpose of Republicans and Trump supporters funding RFK Jr was to get a candidate to siphon votes away from Biden. The closer he acts to Trump, the greater chances he end up siphoning away Trump voters.
That explains why my parents have been liking him lately.
I think there was some study saying RFK was syphoning votes away from Trump.
Pod save America had polling numbers that showed a slight edge to Trump because of RFK votes. That was around a week ago though, things may have changed since.
"Hijack me harder, Daddy!"
Q - it was maga all along?
A - always has been.
You mispelled "Backfired." They thought they would poison pill Democrats. Like a Scooby-Doo cartoon villain.
First of all, yeah, duh.
Second, wouldn't that be advantageous to someone sane getting elected? If his batshit crazy campaign is attracting MAGAs, wouldn't that split the Trump vote?
His running mate let Elon inside of her, that should tell you enough about them.
Grimes is running for vice president?
Elon has been with more women than just Grimes my dude, but I meant Nicole Shanahan, Sergey Brin's ex-wife, whom is also Musk's ex-gf.
Musk was also with Amber Heard for a lil bit after the Heard/Depp trial.
Dude why do you know so much about his relationships?
I read a lot of news and connections are important, like how Vladimir Putin and Rupert Murdoch are Eskimo brothers over Wendy Deng, it shows the kind of circles people travel in, as the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s campaign has been “hijacked by MAGA” Friday.
Kennedy referred to rioters in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol as “activists” and suggested they were victims of an “outrageous miscarriage of justice,” in a Thursday statement.
“His campaign has been hijacked by MAGA,” Kinzinger told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins during a Friday interview.
Kennedy’s email drew comparisons between charges against Wikileaks founder Julian Assange and Jan. 6 defendants, stating, “Rarely do opposites attract, especially in Washington.”
This is the reality that every American Citizen faces – from Ed Snowden, to Julian Assange to the J6 activists sitting in a Washington DC jail cell stripped of their Constitutional liberties,” it said.
A spokesperson for Kennedy’s campaign, Stephanie Spear, later said in a statement obtained by The Hill that the email’s language was an error.
The original article contains 387 words, the summary contains 147 words. Saved 62%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Hijacked implies he doesn't want them there. They may have taken over, but the door was left open.
Who cares. He’s a nut too. Fuck RFK.
