In a political system so obviously stacked against anti-establishment candidates, one can hardly blame those who imagine conspiracies everywhere.
According to NBC News, Donald Trump Jr., son of former President Donald Trump, told supporters in Iowa on Thursday that the independent presidential campaign of longtime Democrat Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appears calculated to undermine the Trump cause.
“It legitimately always felt like it was a Democrat plant to hurt the Trump thing,” Trump Jr. said. “He wouldn’t be there if the Democrats didn’t want him.”
On the surface, conventional wisdom suggests that a Kennedy campaigning for president should hurt the incumbent Democrat.
Anecdotally, however, Kennedy has had an unmistakable appeal to some anti-establishment voters, including Republicans.
For instance, in an August interview with Tucker Carlson on X, Kennedy asserted what many Americans who distrust the deep state already suspected: that the CIA had a hand in the 1963 assassination of his uncle, John F. Kennedy.
Then, when Carlson asked about reported U.S. bio-labs in Ukraine, Kennedy gave a very matter-of-fact answer.
“We have bio-labs in Ukraine because we’re developing bio-weapons,” RFK Jr. said.
