Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tried to arrange a meeting with Vice President Kamala Harris to secure a place in her administration or a cabinet post in exchange for an endorsement, according to multiple reports.
The Washington Post first reported that Kennedy made the overture through intermediaries, just weeks after he proposed as similar arrangement to former President Donald Trump after the Republican National Convention last month. The pair spoke about the plan, but did not reach an agreement on the matter.
Harris has not responded with an offer to meet and her campaign has expressed no interest to do so, the Post added.
Offering RFK Jr a cabinet post is literally the only thing that would make me not vote Den this November.
He wants to get in the white house bad. Maybe he knows the secret location of scroll that contains the knowledge of whom had his his dad and uncle killed, national treasure style.
… and why should they talk with RFK? He’s a spoiler candidate. He’s literally holding them hostage to the votes he thinks he’s going to pull from their campaign to get a seat at the table, and he’s so freaking incompetent, he doesn’t even realiz e that he’s pulling votes from the republican weirdos rather than Democrats.
I agree 100%. However, think about what would happen in the political arena if he were given a position in exchange for endorsing kamala. We all know that many right wingers who don’t like trump are RFKs primary supporters. Him supporting kamala would throw this group into a tailspin.
It ain’t gonna happen, just sayin’ it would be very interesting to watch. A big worry would be his supporters getting pissed and then swinging towards trump.
Still, I’d love to see it for the lulz.
He’s trying this with both campaigns though. He is just a slimy, opportunistic douche.
Yeah but is it working on any Democrats? I just don’t see him pulling votes from anyone but Trump.
They could make him a worm ambassador
Lmao.
It would seem the response he received was not definitively obvious to him prior to asking. I feel this is the most shocking part. It’s like he’s out of touch with reality.
But if I may shitpost:
Maybe it’s high time he cleaned out all those animal carcasses from his freezer.
It’s almost like parasitic worms ate a part of his brain.
Remember when he supported and backed Obama, or when he threw support behind Hillary? Or that he was a registered Democrat? Or when Obama considered him for administrator of the EPA?
No, because he’s always been a human disease vector with nepo-brain (now with worms!).
So your plan is to ignore reality in hopes that it will somehow help win an election?
Please no, Central Park doesn’t need a pile of rotting animal corpses.
But Gaza women & children need more bombs? Seriously, why are Democrats so hypocritical these days? Like… RFK Jr. may have done some looney shit but Democrats have literally enabled killing tens of thousand women & children and that is acceptable to them.
Democrats? Why on Earth would you blame the Dems when it’s more than clear that it’s the GOP that is latched onto the AIPAC teat like a barnacle. Remember when Republicans in the House and Senate were demanding aid for Ukraine go to Israel instead?
Whose name appears here?
You’re out of your mind if you think the issue is only with Republicans.
Look who’s objecting.
Earlier this year, multiple lawmakers, including Sen. Chris Van Hollen [D] of Maryland, planned to object to the sale.
Ah, and Biden is slow walking the sale…
The items are intended to maintain and build Israel’s overall long-term defensive capability, and most of the items will be delivered in installments over the course of several years, a State Department official told CBS News. The F-15s, for example, will be manufactured by Boeing and take at least a decade to deliver in full, the official said.
Oh, this is interesting too.
The Biden administration has had to balance its continued support for Israel with a growing number of calls from lawmakers and the U.S. public to curb military support there due to the high number of civilian deaths in Gaza. It has curbed one delivery of 2,000-pound weapons amid continued airstrikes by Israel in densely populated civilian areas in Gaza.
…the U.S. had been withholding weapons deliveries for Israel’s war effort in Gaza…
On June 23, Netanyahu told his Cabinet that there had been a “dramatic drop” in U.S. weapons about four months prior, without specifying which weapons. Those comments came just days after he released a video in English claiming there had been weeks of unsuccessful pleas with American officials to speed up deliveries.
Curse Biden for not magically making Netanyahu stop being a murderous asshole. You know that there are limits to what the American President can do on his own, without the full support of his legislature, about the homicidal activities of a foreign ruler? But by all means, keep attacking the Democrats as if a 2nd Trump administration would be an improvement. What did Trump say about Israel/Gaza? Oh that’s right, Israel should “finish what they started” and “get it over with fast”.
Despite his earlier proclaimed “anti-war” position RFK is a Zionist and fully supports the Genocide in Gaza.
He might have had a real shot at winning the election if he provided an anti-Genocide alternative. But the so called “anti-war” guy just had to kneel for israel.
RFK Jr. wants to send more bombs to Gaza and he has also contributed to plenty of preventable deaths with his years of spreading antivaccination disinformation.
His remarks on leveling Gaza are in the first result I found when I looked up his stance on Israel: https://www.timesofisrael.com/2024-dark-horse-rfk-jr-questions-gaza-ceasefire-defends-israeli-offensive/
I don’t think it’s shitposting when that’s literally how politics works these days. You’ve just become a spokesman.
It’s like he’s out of touch with reality.
He’s an aging second generation Kennedy who had a brain worm…
They don’t remove those btw, they’re usually killed via medications but the worm is in an organ, you can’t remove it. Like if a dog has heart worms and gets treated, their health will get worse because their body has to deal with dead worms, and then even after the remains decay, there’s holes.
Like, dude probably already put his brain thru enough without a decaying worm, but it shouldn’t be surprising he acts illogical like he has a serious mental problem, because he has a serious mental problem. Absolute best case scenario is by now the worm is gone and he “just” has a big hole in his brain that will never heal.
Some people type “lol”. I really mean it. I laughed so loud I woke the cat up.
