Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. admitted to podcaster Joe Rogan that he is putting his life in danger by speaking out about the assassinations of his uncle and his father, and that he “takes precautions” to ensure the CIA doesn’t kill him.
“What do you think happens when you get into office? Like, if you’re talking about your uncle who was assassinated and you believe the intelligence agencies were a part of that, what happens to you?” Rogan asked.
Kennedy said: “Well, I got to be careful. And I’m aware of that. I’m aware of that danger. I don’t live in fear of it, you know, at all. But I’m not stupid about it, and I take precautions.
“JFK learned very early on that the purpose of the CIA and the intelligence apparatus was to create a constant pipeline of new wars for them, for the military industrial complex…it’s not the United States’ jobs to dictate what kind of governments other countries have.”
“In October of 1963 he heard that some of his Green Berets had been killed and he said I want a total casualty list from Vietnam.
“His aide came to him and said 75 Americans have died.
“He said that’s too many and he signed that day a national security directive ordering all troops out of Vietnam.
“The first thousand over the next month and then the rest by the beginning of 1965, and um and then a month later he was killed.”
According to The New York Post:
He is polling a sizeable chunk for a primary challenger against an incumbent president at roughly 20 percent.
The President is sitting at 60 percent, while his other primary challenger, author Marianne Williamson, has eight percent of the vote.
But just because Mr. Kennedy is highly unlikely to win, it doesn’t mean his longshot bid can’t wound Mr Biden – fatally.
The concern within the Biden camp is that RFK Jr he could expose the vulnerabilities of the President for a Republican to take advantage of.
Many point to history.
Phillip Elliot wrote in Time that “past serious primary challengers have proven popular enough to throw incumbent presidents off their game.”
