Bob Kennedy Jr., the nephew and son of two assassinated politicians, publicly defended Republican Donald Trump’s right to run for the White House despite his issues with justice.
Trump, who is accused of seriously interfering in the presidential election to prevent the victory of his Democratic rival Joe Biden, has many pending cases that could hinder his election campaign and harm his chances.
For now, two federal states, Maine and Colorado, have ordered that his name not appear on ballots in primary elections; That’s something the former president’s legal team is trying to dispute.
Those who try to prevent Trump invoke the 14th Article of the US Constitution, which dates back to the civil war; Accordingly, no person who participates in a rebellion or insurrection after taking the oath to the Constitution may hold public office.
Although he disapproves of the Republican’s methods in attempting to distort the results of the election debate, including his controversial role in his supporters’ attack on the Capitol, Kennedy Jr. has been critical of Democrats’ attempts to veto his nomination.
Trump should be allowed to present his ideas and political proposals to the public, and accordingly, “those who talk about protecting us actually intend to control us,” Kennedy Jr. says.
Kennedy knows what he’s talking about; himself a victim of obstructionist maneuvering by the Democratic leadership; These maneuvers once undermined the candidacy of Senator Bernie Sanders, a representative of the party’s left wing, in favor of Hillary Clinton. .
Bob Kennedy Jr., who eventually decided to run for the White House as an independent in the November elections, criticizes something that the famous writer and nobleman Gore Vidal had already condemned in his time: “There is only one party in the United States, the party of property and two “There are wings: Republican and Democrat.”
And Vidal added: “Republicans are stupider, more rigid and more doctrinaire in their laissez-faire capitalism than the prettier and slightly more corrupt Democrats (…) but deep down there is no difference between the two.” .
Trump is facing a number of lawsuits for various reasons; The most serious of these concerns attempted interference in the presidential election.
But his then-rival and current president faced an impeachment attempt in Congress by Democrats who, along with his son Hunter, accused him of favoring Ukrainian, Russian and Chinese businessmen and oligarchs during his time as Barack’s vice president. in exchange for millionaire bribes.
Biden has an advantage over Trump; That is, it is the favorite of all “liberal” media in the USA, from the CNN television network to the country’s main newspapers such as The New York Times or The Washington Post.
Republicans have long accused Joe Biden’s team of trying to control both Justice and the FBI to prevent the current President’s scandals from coming to light; this is something he and his supporters deny.
