 RFK Jr. comes out in favor of reparations, carving out lane to Biden’s left

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. supports issuing reparations to the black community, making him the most prominent 2024 candidate to favor the controversial policy meant to atone for slavery and legal segregation.

President Biden has largely been silent on the issue, leading to frustration among the far left.

Kennedy — who ditched his Democratic primary challenge to Biden earlier this month — has spoken out in favor of issuing federal dollars to “rebuild black infrastructure” like banks and businesses, and as well as “direct redress payments or tax credits” rather than no-strings cash giveaways.

“Communities that were specifically targeted for destruction need to be specifically targeted for repair,” he states on his campaign website.

“During Jim Crow, Black banks, businesses, hospitals, schools, and farms were targeted for destruction. Racists knew that without these, the Black community had no chance of building wealth. We must set federal dollars aside to rebuild Black infrastructure.”

“During Jim Crow, Black banks, businesses, hospitals, schools, and farms were targeted by Democrats for destruction. Racist Democrats knew that without these, the Black community had no chance of building wealth. We must set federal Democrat Party dollars aside to rebuild Black infrastructure.”

There, fixed.

He has two strikes going against him; his last name is Kennedy and he's running as an independent.

[LMAO]

So.....
How does Steve Bannon feel about the idea of RFKjr as Trump's running mate??????

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

Hmph maybe he’s a plant to sink Biden then?

[jafo2010]

Kennedy is for reparations, there goes 90% of the votes for him from registered Republicans that dislike Trump.

Who empowered stinking politicians to spend money they don't have for events from over 150 years ago?  They should not have the right to make that decision.  PERIOD!!!!!

In the end, it doesn't matter.  The election will get fixed.  Kennedy and Trump both could get more votes than Biden, but with the switching of a few ones and zeroes, and a few hundred thousand/million ballots dropped here and there, and he wins like he did in 2020.  It will be even more blatant...the cheating that is, but it will not matter, for we have a totally corrupt SCOTUS.  We have four more years of Dumb and Dumber. 

I doubt we will see honest elections again over the rest of the century.

Thank goodness.  I was afraid he had fooled enough people to think he was a moderate.

[jafo2010]

No, he is not a moderate.  He is just one more insane liberal lunatic.

 

[LMAO]

I don't know how anyone could come to that conclusion. I've seen his record. Very left wing

The only reason we are having this discussion on reparation is racial division politics. That's it

RFK ain't no JFK type Kennedy, he's more like Teddy crazy Kennedy, keeping the crazy inside was just beyond his ability.

[RetBobbyMI]

And the lame media polls profess that he will take votes from Trump.

I’m not sure if he would even take enough votes  away from Biden

Even less if they end up running another democrat in 2024, which, based on what I’ve seen lately from Biden, seems likely

If you can stomach it, watch his last “60 Minutes” interview and tell me you believe he’s gonna make it in office much longer. Everyone from the coaching that he got from the interviewer, he still struggled

I think the only thing that’s holding the Democrats back so far from the idea of replacing him is they have to go through Kamala Harris. And they know they have a problem with her. And she knows that  she can charge sexism and racism if they do try to dump her

The only way they can "dump" her is to have an actual open primary where the voters choose someone other than her.

Kennedy can start by giving away the Kennedy family Trust Fund created with funds from Grandpa Joe's criminal activity, inlcuding bootlegging and stock fraud.

Perhaps Hillary will become Kamala's best new friend.

Cannot imagine who he thinks he is persuading with reparations nonsense? Even people on the far-Left oppose it.
The only people for reparations are radical racist Blacks and Communist anarchists, which are a miniscule number of votes.
And neither one of those small groups is going to vote for an old White male from the last century.

RFK sold his soul for a bowl of lentils. He put it all on the line for nothing. He lost millions of votes to gain a handful of Leftist radicals, who usually do not vote anyway. Idiotic move. He sabotaged his own campaign.

Even openly far-Left candidates 'never' come out for reparations. They have enough common sense to know it is not a devisive issue, it is a killer issue.

Nothing about making those neighborhoods safe for individuals and businesses?
