  1. ***From Rolling Stone’s Nikki McCann Ramirez:***

    Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s campaign has fired one of its campaign officials who recently said her “number one priority” is defeating President Joe Biden, and that Kennedy’s campaign was the “best strategic opportunity to block Biden” from getting reelected over Donald Trump.

    On Wednesday, the Kennedy camp quietly announced that Rita Palma had been removed from their roster.

  3. Not fired for saying it, fired for *saying it out loud*, remember.

  4. “We talked about this, Rita. You had ONE job.”

  6. She was fired but they also claim she never worked for them. Odd, isn’t it?

  7. Fired for speaking the truth and the GOP can’t have that now can they?

    Opps, did I say the GOP? Oh right, it’s because RFK’s campaign is part of the GOP’s electioneering efforts.

  9. By all means run to elect Donald Trump. You will go down in history as infamous one way or another.

  11. We all knew it to be true. Doesn’t change his ties or the fact that Steve Bannon’s the one who got him to run. You can’t undo the past, Robert (never calling this guy Bobby; that’s reserved for his dad who was actually charming).

  14. They cancelled her for speaking her mind! Employment lawsuit incoming, Elon help us!

  15. Every family has its crazy uncle! The Kennedys have Robert.

  16. These folks just cannot keep the stupid inside, can they?

  17. He’s anti-vax and while others were getting MDs and PhDs in medical science RFK Jr spent 14 years as a heroin addict. So if MAGA wants to vote for him I’m all for it.

  18. Something tells me this Kennedy guy is up to no good…

  19. Only my MAGA friends talked up this pos. Most my friends are democrats and not 1 has mentioned this clown as an option.

  20. It took me months to even run into one of his supporters and they were as unhinged as you would expect a third party supporter to be.

  22. But trump said on truth social today that RFK Jr. is the most far-left candidate in the race. Trump would never lie, right?

  23. If I said that he looks just like a 1970s South African apartheid politician.

    It would be hard to disagree.

  25. His only hope for votes, is people mistaking him for real Kennedy.

  27. He’s looking awfully orange in that thumbnail. I don’t think it’s a coincidence

  29. What a fucking loser and disappointment this man is.

    I really used to like him in the 2000’s. Ego fucks up everything in the end though.

    He’s totally willing to plunge this country into fascism for what? Vaccines?

    When he loses he’ll be helping end decades of his own legal work as the EPA is gutted along with most consumer protections all while the insurance industry gets to write it’s own laws unbothered by pesky consumer advocates like RFK who’s legal challenges fall on the deaf ears of judges who are in the pockets of the most corrupt actors the Republican Party can muster.

  30. This is what a more successful by name only My Pillow freak looks like.

    And surprise surprise. He’s only goal is to save a horrible person.

  31. A libertarian leaning friend told a group of us we should be paying more attn to this clown. I said “An anti-vaxxer who denies settled science all the time? You’ve got to be kidding.” Another more conservative friend said “what is it with you liberals and putting labels on people. Why can’t you judge him on his positions instead of just calling him names like ‘anti-vaxxer’?”

    Logic is in short supply.

  32. What is he polling at? 1%? 4%?

    Drop out Bannon spoiler candidate.

  33. I think it’s really crazy that this grifting buffoon with name recognition is a former heroine addict and a conspiracy nut gets the only thing he wants… attention!!

    With absolutely NO chance to win a nomination from either party so his is a media campaign for his ego!! It’s high time the media stop with the whoring business!! I do hope we’re at least somewhat close to the end of the race to the bottom!!

  35. It’s disappointing to hear some people go “The Dems don’t deserve my vote just because Trump is shitty” so I’ll vote for RFK. You’re playing right into the hands of republicans then. Lol whatever, I hope people atleast do the bare fucking minimum and vote.

  36. Even RFK Jrs family is distancing themselves from him. Seems like they are embarrassed by his deviation from the inclusive, liberal history of the Kennedy family.

  38. Isn’t it illegal for the GOP to have more than 1 candidate?

  39. I do not know a single liberal who likes this guy. This whole campaign has the stink of Roger Stone all over it, except they’re so out of touch they think “liberals love the Kennedys!” His own fucking family doesn’t endorse him.

    I’m sure he’ll pick up votes from people given how unpopular Biden and Trump are but I can’t imagine a liberal voter in a swing state is going to risk their vote helping Trump.
