Police arrest armed man at Robert F. Kennedy Jr. campaign event in California
USA TodayMAY 2023
RFK Jr. absolutely deserves Secret Service protection, and Friday’s campaign event scare is just another example of how he's at uniquely high risk. The history of the Kennedy family should be enough to warrant this service, but Pres. Biden has refused to grant his Democratic opponent the security he needs. This, when contrasted with the Secret Service protection allowed for Hunter Biden, shows a hypocritical and dangerous hypocrisy by the White House.
RFK Jr. is asking for special Secret Service protection that's not usually granted during a primary election, and he is claiming that Pres. Biden is denying him security protection is political posturing. Kennedy is trying to use his family’s history to get protection that no other candidate receives and is spreading dangerous misinformation about the process of receiving Secret Service protection.
