RFK Jr. Calls The DNC A “Cabal” In Emergency Press Conference

In an emergency press conference on Sunday, Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. responded to  Joe Biden dropping out of the 2024 presidential race and endorsing Kamala Harris the Democratic presidential nominee.

In the press conference, RFK Jr.  stated Kamala“has never voiced any distinction between herself and President Biden.”

Kennedy, later in his speech, called the DNC a cabal and stated the Democrat Party is conducting elections “the same way the Soviet Union did.”

Here’s what The Hill reported:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sees Vice President Harris as indistinguishable from President Biden.

In a press conference on Sunday evening, the independent candidate reinforced that he is able to beat both former President Trump and Biden — despite Biden announcing hours earlier that he is exiting the race.

In a nearly 30 minute address, Kennedy used critical rhetoric toward the government common in his stump speech, focusing heavily on Biden and Trump, while only occasionally ripping into Harris as an unknown entity.
Democrats on Capitol Hill and party groups started coalescing around Harris after Biden offered her his endorsement just weeks before the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

Harris, Kennedy said, “has never voiced any distinction between herself and President Biden,” when asked why he spoke about Biden as if he were still in the race. “We don’t know what she stands for,” Kennedy said. “According to her, she stands for everything that President Biden stands for.”

The environmental lawyer referred to Harris, who pledged to “earn” what she hopes is millions of Americans’ votes in November, as a “war hawk” on China and Ukraine, and said that she has not made an imprint on U.S. domestic policy as VP. He predicted she wouldn’t meaningfully help lessen the country’s financial deficit, a particular area of focus for Kennedy.

Per News Nation Now:

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recognized President Joe Biden‘s years of service and bashed Vice President Kamala Harris just hours after the president decided to abandon his reelection bid.

“I want to begin by commending President Biden for a career in public service, a long, long career in representing and serving our country and for his handling of many difficulties,” Kennedy said.

The president’s decision came after weeks of struggling to regain ground after a dismal debate performance on June 27 brought the issue of his mental acuity to the forefront. Biden has endorsed Harris as his choice for the 2024 Democratic nominee.

He also criticized Harris’ track record in California, calling her fights to keep nonviolent criminals in jail a “modern version of indentured servitude.”

It’s not a new critique — as California’s attorney general, she said releasing those offenders would starve the state of their wildfire suppression work force, as reported by E&E News, which drew criticism from prison reform organizations and constituents alike.
