Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s stated platform
[[link removed]] in the 2024 presidential race centers on
promoting an "honest government," a "clean, healthy environment," and
the protection of civil liberties—but his New York State director
last week boiled down the Independent campaign's true goal at a
meeting with Republican voters: ensuring former President Donald Trump
wins the election.
Speaking
[[link removed]] at
a meeting last Thursday, Rita Palma first checked to make sure there
were "no Biden voters in the house" before telling her audience that
her "No. 1 priority"
[[link removed]] is
to ultimately take electoral votes away from President Joe Biden.
"The Kennedy voter and the Trump voter," said Palma, "our mutual enemy
is Biden."
States including New York, California, and "most of the Northeast" are
likely to vote for the Democratic president, she continued, but if
Kennedy, whom Palma referred to as Bobby, is on the ballot in New
York, the campaign could help "get rid of Biden."
She urged the assembled GOP voters to give their "vote to Bobby and at
least get rid of Biden and give those 28 electoral votes to Bobby
rather than to Biden, thereby reducing Biden's 270 [electoral votes]."
"Two hundred seventy wins the election," added Palma, who was hired by
Kennedy's campaign after she canvassed
[[link removed]] for
Trump in 2016 and 2020. "If nobody gets to 270 then Congress picks the
president, so who are they gonna pick if it's a Republican Congress?
They'll pick Trump, so we're rid of Biden either way."
Political observers have noted in recent months that Kennedy
has drawn [[link removed]] support from
right-wing billionaires, but Palma's blunt description of her plan to
"block Biden from winning the presidency" left critics stunned as the
video of the event circulated on social media on Monday.
"Whole thing is an epic fraud. Kennedy is spouting Russian propaganda,
is now openly betraying the country," said political strategist Simon
Rosenberg, referring to the candidate's recent comments
[[link removed]] about
Russia's claim that it aims to "de-Nazify" Ukraine.
"RFK Jr.'s campaign is saying the quiet part out loud," Matt
Corridoni, spokesperson for the Democratic National Committee, told
[[link removed]]_CNN_.
"As the saying goes, when people show you who they are, believe them:
RFK Jr.'s campaign isn't building a plan or a strategy to get 270
electoral votes, they're building one to help Trump return to the Oval
Office."
