Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. offered some high praise for former President Donald Trump on Fox News’s Fox & Friends today.
Steve Doocy asked Kennedy if he will debate President Joe Biden, saying it “doesn’t look like it will happen.” Kennedy said it was critical that Biden debate him, not run scared, because eventually Biden will have to debate Trump and he considers Trump one of the best to ever do it.
Kennedy said: “We’re gonna try to get the president to debate, we think it’s really important. It is important for the Democratic party because ultimately the president will have to debate a Republican, and likely, we don’t know, but it’s gonna be Trump.
“Trump is probably the most successful debater in this country since Lincoln-Douglas in the way he dispatched 16 Republican opponents, one after the other, in 2016.
“It was really quite extraordinary.
“He has his own technique that people like.
“And it is like going to a prize fight and you need practice.
“And that usually happens during a primary.
“And asking the president not to debate during the primary is like asking a prize fighter to practice for his big bout by sitting on the couch and eating Chick-Fil-A.
Co-host Ainsley Earhardt said:
“It’s interesting that you’re saying that and praising him because you normally don’t hear that from a candidate, you could potentially run against him.”
