Former President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign is seemingly planning a series of attacks against soon-to-be independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Team Trump becomes “anxious” that Kennedy could take more votes away from Trump than President Joe Biden via Media Ite.
It has been noted that Semafor spoke to several Trump allies on Friday, who reported they are “anxious” about Kennedy now that he will supposedly be dropping his Democratic primary campaign in favor of an independent presidential run.
“We’re gonna be dropping napalm after napalm on his head reminding the public of his very liberal views, dating back to 2012,” one unnamed source told the news outlet. “We have a lot of stuff on him.”
Another source told Semafor, “It’s single digits, but it’s enough where it counts to make a difference,” while a “Trump-aligned operative” said, “He used to be a fun plaything to hurt Biden, now he is something that could hurt the GOP.”
On Friday, the conservative Daily Caller published an article attacking Kennedy for some comments he made about pig farmers in the aftermath of 9/11.
“I stand by the statements I made in Clear Lake last month that factory meat integrators are more threatening to democracy than Osama bin Laden,” said Kennedy in a 2002 article titled, “I’m serious: Hog lots threaten democracy.”
Ever since the announcement was made his run for president, Kennedy has received frequent airtime on conservative television shows and support from Republican politicians and pundits.
Last month, Kennedy thanked Fox News for giving him so much time, remarking, “You guys have been very, very generous.”
Last week, Mediaite’s Diana Falzone broke the news that Kennedy will be announcing an independent run on Oct. 9.
