Fox: Trump accuses RFK Jr. of being a 'Democrat plant' and 'wasted protest vote'
Politico: Trump rails against RFK Jr., calling him a ‘wasted protest vote’
The Story
It seems as if the Democratic and Republican parties have found a common enemy; Robert F. Kennedy Jr. On social media, Trump took the time to criticize RFK in hopes of deterring his votes from considering the candidate. According to Fox News, RFK is "unpopular with both parties' establishment" (Nerozzi, 2024). Trump, specifically, is claiming that "RFK Jr. is a Democrat "Plant," a Radical Left Liberal who’s been put in place to help Crooked Joe Biden, the Worst President in the History of the United States, get Re-Elected. In a very aggressive stance, Trump states "A Vote for Junior’ would essentially be a WASTED PROTEST VOTE, that could swing either way, but would only swing against the Democrats if Republicans knew the true story about him."
Politico reports the story in a similar matter, emphasizing that RFK is a threat to both the Republican and Democratic presidential campaigns. According to Politico, "Kennedy’s seemingly green policies, as well as his historically Democratic-aligned last name, have made him a perceived threat to Biden’s ability to consolidate the party’s vote in the 2024 election" (Ewing, 2024). However, the article does indicate that "Kennedy is drawing voters more evenly away from both candidates, putting the GOP — and Trump — increasingly on the offensive." (Ewing, 2024). This statistic clearly shows why Trump is taking the time to bash the candidate online.
