Trump Criticizes RFK Jr. as ‘Wasted Protest Vote’ and ‘Radical Left’

Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, is dismissing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a potential running mate and instead labeling him as a “WASTED PROTEST VOTE” even more “Radical Left” than President Joe Biden and his “Green New Scammers.”

In a series of posts on Truth Social Friday night, Trump claimed that RFK Jr. is a Democrat “Plant” put in place to support Biden’s re-election, and a vote for him would be a waste.

Despite past admiration for Kennedy’s independent stance, Trump highlighted the extreme leftist positions RFK Jr. holds.

Trump emphasized that RFK Jr. is anti-gun, an extreme environmentalist, a big-time taxer, open border advocate, and anti-military/vet, making him unsuitable for conservative voters.

Furthermore, Trump argued that RFK Jr.’s energy policies have negatively impacted states like New York and New England, driving up energy costs in those regions.

Trump went on to criticize RFK Jr.’s views on vaccines and concluded that even Biden would do less harm than RFK Jr. to the country.

Lastly, Trump slammed RFK Jr.’s candidacy as “FAKE” and expressed that Democrats are welcome to have him.
