CNN  —

Environmental lawyer and anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to run for president in 2024 as a Democrat.

The filing was confirmed Wednesday by his campaign treasurer, John E. Sullivan.

The 69-year-old is the son of former New York senator, US attorney general and assassinated 1968 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy and the nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy.

In March, Kennedy tweeted that he was considering a run.

“If it looks like I can raise the money and mobilize enough people to win, I’ll jump in the race,” he said. “If I run, my top priority will be to end the corrupt merger between state and corporate power that has ruined our economy, shattered the middle class, polluted our landscapes and waters, poisoned our children, and robbed us of our values and freedoms. Together we can restore America’s democracy.”

His tweet pointed supporters to his website.

 “Let Bobby know you want to see his leadership in the White House,” the site says while asking for donations.

Prominent anti-vaccine activist and environmentalist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission on Wednesday to officially launch his 2024 presidential campaign.

Kennedy Jr. filed to challenge President Biden next year as a Democrat, joining self-help guru Marianne Williamson as the only other declared major candidate in the party in the White House race.

The 69-year-old is the son of former US attorney general, senator, and 1968 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy – who was shot and killed by Sirhan Sirhan on the campaign trail.  ...

Last year, Kennedy Jr. found himself under even more fire after he told attendees at an anti-vaxx rally at the National Mall in Washington, DC, that it was easier for Anne Frank to hide from Nazis than it is for Americans to escape vaccine mandates.  ... During the same rally, he also spread conspiracy theories about 5G and digital currencies.

“They’re putting in 5G to harvest our data and control our behavior. Digital currency that will allow them to punish us from a distance and cut off our food supply,” he argued.  ...

I'm no RFK Jr fan, but how many generations does it take to be declared innocent of your ancestors' sins?

Totally agree.  Nobody bears responsibility for anyone's sins but their own.

My views of vaccines, specifically the Covid 19 vaccines, align far closer with Kennedy’s views than DJT’s.
Not saying that I’d ever vote for him, but there’s that.

[libertybele]

I hope he is successful in defeating Brandon and Cackles.

Of course there is concern for his safety, but hopefully the hatred for the Kennedy family has dissipated.

Ditto. There are many more issues to consider, but I have no problem with RFKJr's vax position.

He needs to find a level headed Black female running mate; I don't know if such a female liberal exists.

RFK Jr. to Run for President as a Democrat, Blasts 'Censorship Liberalism' and 'Neo-Con Project' in Ukraine

...............In some of his recent tweets, Kennedy has said the following,

-- "The Ukraine war is the final collapse of the Neocon's short-lived 'American Century.' The Neocon projects in Iraq and Ukraine have cost $8.1 trillion, hollowed out our middle class, made a laughingstock of U.S. military power and moral authority, pushed China and Russia into an invincible alliance, destroyed the dollar as the global currency, cost millions of lives and done nothing to advance democracy or win friendships or influence."

-- "The Fed just announced it will introduce its 'FedNow' Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) in July. CBDCs grease the slippery slope to financial slavery and political tyranny. While cash transactions are anonymous, a #CBDC will allow the government to surveil all our private financial affairs................

They Are Scared: Watch What Jake Tapper Says About RFK, Jr Now Running for President
Nick Arama

The liberal media seems to have a fit whenever anyone tries to go against the narrative they are pushing.

It appears that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. — who is decidedly not with the narrative they are pushing — is now sparking one of those fits. As we reported, he just filed paperwork that he was going to run for the Democratic nomination for president.

RFK, Jr. is a Kennedy, but he’s infuriated some in the mainstream left because of his positions against vaccines, in particular the COVID vaccine. He’s also attacked former NIAID director Dr. Anthony Fauci, who they hold as a God, even blasting him a book.

As we reported, here’s what the AP said about him:

His push against the COVID-19 vaccine has linked him at times with anti-democratic figures and groups. Kennedy has appeared at events pushing the lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen and with people who cheered or downplayed the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Oh, my, “anti-democratic.” You know, I’m inclined to think it’s “anti-democratic” for the government to try to censor people’s free speech. But that’s exactly what the Twitter Files revealed that the government tried to do to Kennedy, by flagging him to the Twitter police.

As I reported, he even commented on the bombshell story from an insider about alleged CIA involvement in the death of his uncle. RFK, Jr’s response? “The most courageous newscast in 60 year,” Kennedy said. “The CIA’s murder of my uncle was a successful coup d’état from which are democracy has never recovered.”

Him challenging Brandon and going a bit against the grain will make things interesting. It's terrible to think this way, but the DEMS will have no qualms about seeing to it that he drops out.
