Kennedy Jr.\u2019s third-party challenge.<\/p>\n<p>Kerry Kennedy, RFK Jr.\u2019s sister and ex-wife of disgraced New York governor Andrew Cuomo, introduced Biden at Philadelphia\u2019s Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center. Kerry Kennedy announced that Biden had the endorsement of &#8220;nearly every single grandchild of Joe and Rose Kennedy,&#8221; and said Biden has gotten Americans &#8220;behaving like good neighbors again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Robert F. Kennedy Jr.\u2019s quixotic third-party bid for the presidency has prompted panic from the Biden campaign. Polls show Kennedy draws more votes from Biden than former president Donald Trump, who consistently leads in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-targets-foxs-laura-ingraham-over-hit-piece-on-his-poll-numbers\/\" title=\"Trump attacks Laura Ingraham for negative coverage of his poll numbers on Fox.\">swing state polls<\/a>. In response, the Democratic National Committee has created an entire department focused on <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/latest-news\/democrats-rage-over-rfk-jr-campaign-in-dnc-call\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">attacking Kennedy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>That panic may explain why Biden gathered the Kennedys for a speech in Pennsylvania, a pivotal swing state to which the family has no connection. Their presence at the event was overshadowed by the protesters who descended on the sparsely attended event, bombarding the roughly 100 audience members with calls for an &#8220;intifada&#8221; against Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Biden spoke for less than 12 minutes on Thursday. During his remarks, he suffered a number of verbal stumbles and made several misleading, if not outright false, statements.<\/p>\n<p>At one point, Biden said he sees &#8220;a future with a planet. We save the planet as this guy busting his neck doing, from climate change, literally,&#8221; in an apparent reference to a Kennedy relative\u2019s work on environmental issues.<\/p>\n<p>Biden boasted about how he &#8220;cut the budget by a lot of money, $172 billion so far, so don\u2019t tell me it can\u2019t be done.&#8221; It is not clear what Biden was referring to, as his latest budget proposes $7.3 trillion in spending and the 2023 deficit increased by $68 billion from the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>Towards the end of his speech, Biden asked the audience whether they were &#8220;ready to choose freedom over democracy? Because that\u2019s America.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Biden also gave a moderated version of his political origin story, saying he decided to become a public defender at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-president-trump-gives-pardons-to-73-individuals-and-commutes-another-70-sentences-steve-bannon-is-included\/\" title=\"BREAKING: President Trump Gives Pardons to 73 Individuals and Commutes Another 70 Sentences \u2013 Steve Bannon Is Included\">young age<\/a> &#8220;in a large part&#8221; because he thought it was something Robert Kennedy would want. Biden has previously said he left a private practice because he was so horrified by a case where a young welder burned off his penis. Reporting from the <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em> concluded that Biden\u2019s story is <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/joe-bidens-political-origin-story-is-almost-certainly-bogus-and-he-just-swore-to-it-under-oath\/\">almost certainly fiction<\/a>.\t<\/p>\n<p>Thursday\u2019s speech comes just a day after Biden claimed outside of a Scranton, Pennsylvania, war memorial that his uncle died and was eaten by cannibals in World War II. Records show that Biden\u2019s uncle, Ambrose Finnegan, likely died after his plane suffered catastrophic engine failure off the coast of New Guinea during a routine trip.<\/p>\n<p>There is no evidence his body was eaten.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden concludes his Pennsylvania tour surrounded by members of the Kennedy family in Philadelphia.
