Robert F. Kennedy Jr., now running as an independent, has sharply criticized Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for their handling of President Joe Biden’s health issues. Biden recently announced he would not seek re-election, and Harris is expected to take his place at the top of the ticket.
RFK Jr. stated, “A little over a year ago when I entered this race, I predicted that President Biden suffered from a degenerative condition that was not going to improve and that it would make it impossible for him to govern effectively.” He accused the DNC of deliberately hiding Biden’s condition from the public and manipulating the nomination process to keep Biden from being challenged.
Kennedy also criticized Harris’s foreign policy, labeling her a “war hawk.” He said, “Kamala Harris is a war hawk on Ukraine, she’s a war hawk on China. I think that we should be figuring out how to coexist with the rest of the world as best we can.”
On domestic policy, RFK Jr. was equally critical. “She’s not going to do anything about the national deficit. I’ve never heard her speak about the chronic disease epidemic,” he remarked. “I think she’s a product of the corporate control of our democracy.” He also highlighted her poor record on civil rights, describing it as one of the worst among public officials.
Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” supported Kennedy’s stance, suggesting he would have been a better candidate for the Democrats. “Just imagine if the Democrat Party had gone in that direction instead of the direction that they are in right now,” Rubin said. He encouraged Democrats dissatisfied with their current options to consider RFK Jr. as a viable alternative. “I think he will absolutely take more from Kamala or whoever else the Democrat is,” Rubin added.
As Harris steps up as the presumptive nominee, she faces significant challenges from critics within and outside her party. Kennedy’s pointed criticisms reflect broader concerns about her policies and the transparency of the current administration.
