Presidential contender Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says that he supports Second Amendment and would not seek a gun confiscation program if elected.
(snip)Kennedy, the nephew of President John F. Kennedy, replied, “I support the Constitution that includes the Second Amendment.”
“I’m not going to take anybody’s guns away,” he said. “I think at this point in history all that would do is to increase this toxic polarization.”
Kennedy said that he grew up in rural areas, and thus understands how “integrated” firearms are into the culture of such people.
“It’s existential for those people who live in those areas,”(snip)
“And it’s part of our Constitution, the Second Amendment as the Supreme Court has interpreted it.”

"Those people". Yup, a true Freudian Slip.
Does he get SS protection?

Yeah, and Traitor Joe says he "supports the Second Amendment", too.
It's people owning and carrying guns that he's totally opposed to.

Kennedy is trying to say all the right things. He is a liar.

Rural areas? He grew up on a huge estate in ultra wealthy McLean, Virginia.

RFK Jr. is a Kennedy so, by default, he's a nasty piece of work. Even if he believes his pandering, his ego and sense of entitlement rule.

I'd rather consider him to expand Trump's ticket, or a cabinet position, than any of the never Trump wannabes trying to fight WTP

He could be everything everybody is saying about him. The democratic party wasn't always against guns. I bet his economic policy will be far left.

Hot air. If he were elected he would forget all about the pledge.

Suppose he won the Democrat nomination because Biden for what ever reason dropped out. Robert Kennedy Jr. would not win the election, Trump's second term then begins. This is because the cheaters in swing states would lack the enthusiasm of 2020. Kennedy may be sort of odd at times, but what he is saying differs from current Democrat/Communist thought. He might be woke, but still an improvement over the doddering fool now in the White House and a hell of a lot better than this Kamala Harris person.

He's trying to be as conservative as possible. If one did nothing but listen to his comments, one would think he was a Republican candidate. However, he's a demoslut, and what he says and what he'll do are polar opposites.

I have to paraphrase this, "methinks he doth protest too much".

Never forget, he's a Demon-Rat. And he is playing by "old school" Demon-Rat rules.
Remember back a few years ago, when Demon-Rats weren't so cocky that they said every evil thing they wanted to do out loud. No, they lied and sounded like moderate Republicans when they ran, and then immediately flipped the switch to their evil true intentions only once they were officially declared the winner. Most of them are way to cocky to play that game anymore.
But not Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He's "old school" Demon-Rat, where everything is on the table to win: Lie, cheat, steal, and even kill.

#13--What if Trump named RFK Jr. as a running mate? Would that not shake up the whole enchilada??? DJT needs to do something bold and radical to erase all of the whining that the press is focused on. RFKj is a rebel in the Kennedy family. He needs to continue Bobby's legacy and he and Trump could rattle the world with their pairing!

He has a D after his name so he cannot be trusted.

Kennedy can’t be all bad, because he has announced that he has a son in the Foreign Legion!

Bobby is fishing for crossover votes.
From the kind of fools who will believe anything they are told.
Not surprised he found a couple on this thread.

Interesting comments from a prominent Democrat. It'll be interesting to see how he does in open primary states where there's no real contest in the GOP primary.
