David Axelrod Suffers Meltdown After RFK Endorses Trump

Democrat Party operative David Axelrod took Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s endorsement of Donald Trump hard.

The former campaign and White House adviser to Barack Obama took to social media to air his grievances over the scion of the premier Democrat political family endorsing the Republican standard bearer.

“Robert F. Kennedy was my political hero,” Axelrod said. “He battled fiercely & eloquently against poverty, injustice and for economic fairness. Sadly RFK Jr, who made a rambling exit from the race today, proves that sometimes an apple DOES fall far from the tree…in this case, down a hill and over a cliff.”

Kennedy’s heartfelt concession speech, in which he asked supporters in contested states to instead vote for Trump, focused on his work for future generations. He said Vice President Kamala Harris has “no interest” in ridding the nation’s food supply of toxic chemicals or cleaning house at agencies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or Department of Agriculture (USDA).

One of those agencies could be a landing spot for Kennedy in a Trump administration. He spoke at length of the need to put the health of American children above corporate donor profits in language mirroring Trump’s own America First vision.

Axelrod didn’t buy it.

“Robert F. Kennedy Sr. would have been appalled to see his son cut a deal to drop out for he race and endorse Trump,” he posted.

Robert and Jack, if resurrected in 2024 would be banished from the party for misogyny, racism, transphobia, islamophobia, warmongering, peacemongering, and in general, coming across like an adult.

 When he was running he was polling 5.8% in AZ, 5.9% in MI, 4.4% in PENN, 5% in WIS, 5.3% NV, 4.3 NC, 4% Georgia,  if just 2/3rds of his supporters peel off with him and vote for Trump in these battleground states, Trump wins. This is what has Dems worried.  Plus this stole post DNC headlines away.

It's a great move by both Trump and RFK Jr..

After listening to RFK JR. I think he might be good to have involved with either the FDA, or HHS.
