RFK Jr. seeks separation from Trump amid weaponization hearing dispute.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Distances Himself from Del. Stacey Plaskett’s Attempt to Tie Him to Trump
During a recent hearing, tensions rose between Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Del. Stacey Plaskett as she tried to link him to former President Donald Trump. Plaskett, the ranking member of the House weaponization committee, accused Kennedy of aligning with “MAGA Republicans.”
“The MAGA Republicans know that Trump benefits when Russia interferes. The same super PAC that supports Mr. Kennedy and has raised significant funds on his behalf is run by a man named Jason Boles,” Plaskett claimed.
“Jason Boles isn’t just a MAGA supporter. He also ran the super PAC for MAGA Republicans Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, George Santos, and in 2022, he supported Herschel Walker. So, the person behind Mr. Kennedy’s super PAC is an individual who personally and professionally wants the Republican Party to succeed. Yet, Mr. Kennedy is running as a Democrat,” she added.
Despite Plaskett’s attempt to cut him off, Kennedy was given the opportunity to respond after Committee Chairman Jim Jordan overruled her.
“I’ve just been told that that super PAC is connected to somebody that we have a connection to. It’s not a super PAC that I’ve endorsed, and it’s not one that I’ve ever heard of,” Kennedy clarified.
During the hearing, Kennedy was testifying about censorship and addressing accusations of making antisemitic comments in the past. As a long-shot contender for the Democratic presidential nomination, he currently trails behind President Joe Biden in the RealClearPolitics polling average.
