Kennedy Jr. Distances Himself from Del. Stacey Plaskett&#8217;s Attempt to Tie Him to Trump<\/h2>\n<p>During a recent hearing, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-democrats-scramble-to-restore-pro-israel-bona-fides-after-voting-against-iron-dome\/\" title=\"House Democrats Scramble To Restore Pro-Israel Bona Fides After Voting Against Iron Dome\">tensions rose<\/a> between Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and \u200dDel. Stacey Plaskett as she\u2064 tried to link him to former President Donald Trump. Plaskett, the ranking member of the\u200c House weaponization committee, accused\u2062 Kennedy \u200dof aligning with &#8220;MAGA \u200bRepublicans.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The\u200d MAGA \u200dRepublicans know that Trump benefits when Russia interferes. The same super PAC that supports Mr. Kennedy and has raised \u2063significant funds on his behalf is run by a man\u200b named Jason Boles,&#8221; Plaskett claimed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jason Boles \u200cisn&#8217;t just a MAGA supporter. He also ran the super PAC\u200d for MAGA Republicans Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren\u200d Boebert, George \u200cSantos, and\u2063 in 2022, he\u2064 supported Herschel Walker. So, the person behind Mr. Kennedy&#8217;s\u200d super PAC is an individual who personally and professionally wants the Republican Party to succeed. Yet, \u2064Mr. Kennedy\u2062 is running as a\u2062 Democrat,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite Plaskett&#8217;s attempt to cut him off, Kennedy was given the\u2062 opportunity \u2064to respond after Committee Chairman\u200d Jim Jordan \u2062overruled her.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019ve just been told that that super PAC is connected to somebody that we have a connection to. It\u2019s not a super PAC that I\u2019ve endorsed, and it\u2019s not one \u200dthat I\u2019ve ever heard of,&#8221; Kennedy clarified.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>During the hearing, Kennedy was testifying \u200babout censorship and \u2063addressing accusations of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rfk-jr-tries-to-distance-self-from-trump-as-argument-erupts-in-weaponization-hearing\/\" title=\"RFK Jr. seeks separation from Trump amid weaponization hearing dispute.\">making antisemitic\u200b comments<\/a> in the past.
