Kennedy Jr.\u2019s own family, including his sister, have chosen to support President Biden and will make a public endorsement of him on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cMore than a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bail-fund-praised-by-kamala-harris-has-twice-freed-the-same-rioter-he-was-just-charged-again\/\" title=\"Bail Fund Praised By Kamala Harris Has Twice Freed The Same Rioter. He Was Just Charged Again.\">dozen members<\/a> of the extended Kennedy family\u201d will participate in the endorsement, CNN <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2024\/04\/18\/politics\/biden-kennedy-family-endorsements-rfk-jr\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">RFK\u2019s sister Rory, who has worked as a director and producer for HBO, has already called her brother\u2019s candidacy \u201cdangerous.\u201d Another sister, Kerry Kennedy, will reportedly call Biden \u201ca champion for all the rights and freedoms that my father and uncles stood for\u201d while attacking former President Donald Trump with claims such as \u201cDonald Trump is running to take us backwards, attacking the most basic rights and freedoms that are core to who we are as Americans \u2026 He has said he will be a dictator on day one, even saying he wants to try to suspend the Constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI can only imagine how Donald Trump\u2019s outrageous lies and behavior would have horrified my father, Robert F. Kennedy, who proudly served as Attorney General of the United States, and honored his pledge to uphold the law and protect the country,\u201d she will reportedly add.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">RFK Jr., whose campaign manager is Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, his daughter-in-law, responded to the news of the endorsement with some positive comments about his \u201cbig family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI hear some of my family will be endorsing President Biden today,\u201d he said. \u201cI am pleased they are politically active \u2013 it\u2019s a family tradition. We are divided in our opinions but united in our love for each other. I hold this as a possibility for America too. Can we disagree without hating our opponents? Can we restore civility and respect to public discourse? I think we can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The candidate discussed the complexities of his famous family earlier this month. \u201cI have a big family, about 105 cousins on the last time we counted,\u201d he said. \u201cI have a big family. I don\u2019t know anybody in America who\u2019s got a family who agrees with him on everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Biden and RFK Jr. differ significantly on some key issues, including censorship, immigration, and Israel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kennedy has stated that Biden is a bigger threat to democracy than Trump, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/04\/01\/politics\/rfk-jr-cnntv-interview\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">contending<\/a>, \u201cI can make the argument that President Biden is the much worse threat to democracy, and the reason for that is President Biden is the first candidate in history \u2013 the first president in history that has used the federal agencies to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tiktok-sparks-outrage-for-censoring-intersex-hashtag-blames-mistake\/\" title=\"TikTok Sparks Outrage For Censoring \u2018Intersex\u2019 Hashtag, Blames \u2018Mistake\u2019\">censor political speech<\/a>, so to censor his opponent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">RFK Jr. has also attacked Biden\u2019s immigration policy, saying, \u201cIt\u2019s astonishing that the Border Patrol is utterly demoralized. You could stop this very quickly. And it doesn\u2019t seem to be any interest in the Biden administration doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kennedy differs from Biden on supporting Israel; he has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/2024-candidate-kennedy-questions-gaza-ceasefire-biden-energy-subsidies-2024-03-20\/\">dismissed calls<\/a> for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, saying in mid-March that each previous ceasefire \u201chas been used by Hamas to rearm, to rebuild and then launch another surprise attack. So what would be different this time?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">He added, \u201cAny other nation that was adjacent to a neighboring nation that was bombing it with rockets, sending commandos over to murder its citizens, pledging itself to murder every person in that nation and annihilate it, would go and level it with aerial bombardment. But Israel is a moral nation. So it didn\u2019t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">RFK Jr.\u2019s father, Robert Kennedy, had been a staunch supporter of Israel even before it was declared a state. He visited there one month before it declared its independence, writing, that it is \u201calready a truly great modern example of the birth of a nation with the primary ingredients of dignity and self-respect.\u201d He added, \u201cIf a Jewish state is formed it will be the only remaining stabilizing factor in the near and far[[<em>sic<\/em> for Near and Middle]East.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robert F.
