Joe, give RFK Jr. Secret Service protection — Hunter isn’t the only one who deserves it

What does it take for Joe Biden to grant his political rival Robert F. Kennedy Jr. the Secret Service protection he has been requesting?

Does Kennedy have to be mortally wounded by an assassin’s bullet, like his father and uncle?

RFK Jr. escaped the same fate Friday night when an armed man impersonating a US marshal tried to approach him at a Los Angeles campaign event just two miles from where his father was assassinated in 1968.

His private security team managed to avert catastrophe, but this is exactly the sort of threat he was warned is a uniquely high risk for his campaign.

The alarming security assessment is why he asked the Biden administration in June for an early start on Secret Service protection – but inexplicably he was denied.

Hunter Biden gets a six-car Secret Service motorcade to take him to courtrooms in Delaware and Arkansas, where doors are opened and closed for him as if he were a prince.

The Secret Service rented a house next to his in Malibu for $30,000 per month.

Even after Joe lost eligibility for a detail when his vice presidency ended, Hunter still had the Secret Service running around after him.

When a debit card he shared with Joe got cleaned out by a hooker, two former agents were dispatched within hours to Hunter’s hotel room to find out what happened to “Celtic’s account”, Celtic being Joe’s codename.

He might be better off to keep the security team he has, rather than count on the SS.
 
It's obvious an incident is more precious to the Administration than his safety.

Sad to say, but with the level of corruption in the DOJ and elsewhere in the FedGov, I do not know that he could trust the SS guards to be as vigilant as the private team. It only takes one, despite the professionalism of the rest of the contingent.

I've posted my opinion of RFK Jr. multiple times, but that is not relevant (to me or anyone, AFAIK). What matters is that RFK Jr. is a candidate for the Presidency. RFK Jr. should have had Secret Service protection months ago. The Feds should provide that protection immediately and reimburse his campaign for every penny they have paid for the private security people he currently has.

Right. This is a matter of principle, even though I would not vote for the man.

   I was under the impression that he had stated in the past that he didn't want SS protection, being that his Dad and Uncle both had SS when they were assassinated.  There is a possibility that I could be wrong.

I was unaware rossie grier was an SS agent.

Doing some Math based on this article, https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rfk-jr-biden-administration-rejected-request-secret-service-protection-2024-race , RFK Jr. apparently requested Secret Service protection back in April this year.
