"Democrats appear to be in panic mode as they scramble to save President Biden's re-election hopes from the threat of independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign, a call hosted by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) revealed Tuesday afternoon.
The call with members of the press took place immediately after Kennedy announced tech entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan as his vice presidential running mate at a rally in Oakland, California, and included Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., Pennsylvania Lieutenant Gov. Austin Davis, and Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, who all fretted that Kennedy would likely ruin any chance of Biden being re-elected.
"We are doing everything in our power to get President Biden and Vice President Harris reelected. It's critical that we take seriously every possible obstacle to that goal. And let me be clear, that's exactly what Robert F. Kennedy is in this election. He's a spoiler," Davis said."
McMorrow agreed, saying it was important for her to be on the call to share "how horrifying this campaign is and what it really means on the ground for Michigan."
"Him being in the race means that there is a greater likelihood that Donald Trump will become president again," she said.
Earlier in the call, Garcia railed against Kennedy as "a tin foil hat conspiracy theorist," referencing his past skepticism toward vaccines, particularly those aimed at combating the COVID-19 pandemic. He also accused Shanahan of holding an "anti-health agenda" despite a large portion of her introduction as Kennedy's running mate being focused on Americans' health, especially that of children.
"He's turning to Trump mega-donors to really support this, really, spoiler campaign. I think he's likely interested in trying to get Donald Trump elected. Maybe that's what this is about. And many of us are not sure, but he is someone that should not be taken seriously as a serious person. I mean, certainly his campaign is quite dangerous," Garcia said, appearing to launch his own conspiracy theory about Kennedy's candidacy.
His reference to former President Donald Trump's donors supporting Kennedy was likely referring to Timothy Mellon, the heir to the Mellon banking fortune who has given millions to outside groups supporting Trump's third run for the presidency. Last year, Mellon donated millions to American Values 2024, a super PAC backing Kennedy."
"The truth is that he was drafted into this race by Donald Trump's top supporters and is being financed in this race by Trump's largest donor. That isn't merely a coincidence," he said. "He has no realistic path to victory in Pennsylvania. All he can do is take away votes from President Biden and make it easier for Donald Trump to win, and we simply can't afford to let that happen."
Davis went on to accuse Kennedy of "deliberately" targeting Black people "with dangerous lies and conspiracy theories" about vaccines, and claimed that any suggestion he was an ally of the Black community was "frankly outrageous, and it's offensive."
McMorrow later added, "We cannot afford Donald Trump to be back in the White House, which is what is going to happen if people don't see RFK for what he actually is, which is Donald Trump with a Kennedy name slapped on him."
The Democrats and the Left and just about every whiny Liberal panic over RFK Jr getting Trump re-elected.. What are the chances some Liberal or some loon on the Left gets desperate enough to make a name for themselves and attempts to take out RFK Jr like his Uncle just to keep Trump from winning?? I mean, they won't even give RFK Jr secret service protection and he has the last name of Kennedy for Christ sake?? 🤔
