Former President Donald Trump roasted independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — and Fox News for inviting him on its shows — after Kennedy sat down with Jesse Watters on Wednesday evening.
“So bad that FoxNews [sic] puts RFK Jr., considered the dumbest member of the Kennedy Clan, on their fairly conservative platform so much. Competitive networks don’t want anything to do with him,” began Trump. “He’s a Radical Left Lunatic whose crazy Climate Change views make the Democrat’s Green New Scam look Conservative. He’s polling badly, 8% at best, but says he does well against Crooked Joe and me, one on one. WRONG, he gets trounced!”
“Junior said I’m the ‘best debater’ in generations, and I want to debate him, and Crooked, but first he’s got to get his bad poll numbers up – a lot! He would be ‘easy pickins,'” he continued before urging Republicans not to their “precious vote on this phony Liberal Activist.”
“With all of that said, he probably hurts Sleepy Crooked Joe more than ‘US!'” concluded Trump happily.
The presumptive Republican nominee has taken a number of personal swings at Kennedy in recent days, calling him a “Democrat ‘Plant,'” and “Radical Left Liberal who’s been put in place in order to help Crooked Joe Biden, the Worst President in the History of the United States, get Re-Elected.”
In another statement issued last month, Trump criticized Kennedy for his politics but conceded, “I happen to like him.”
“He’s much better than Biden. If I were a Democrat, I’d vote for RFK Jr. every single time over Biden, because he’s frankly more in line with Democrats,” mused Trump. “He’s a better man than Joe Biden, that I can tell you.”
One recent poll from Emerson University indicates that Kennedy’s inclusion in the race benefits Trump’s campaign and harms Biden’s, increasing the former’s margin of victory over the latter in several key swing states.
