While saying his uncle, John F. Kennedy, would stand with former President Donald Trump in embracing direct diplomacy with U.S. adversaries, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. insisted a vote for Kamala Harris is “a vote for nuclear war.”
Kennedy, a former independent presidential candidate who’s now supporting former Trump against Harris in the presidential election, took to X on Thursday to post a compelling video about why he believes nuclear war is possible if the Democrat candidate becomes president.
“Kamala Harris is inexperienced in foreign policy and her belligerent and hostile remarks about Russia during her acceptance speech at the Democratic Convention were extremely alarming,” RFK Jr. says in the video. “Those words demonstrated that she would be a perfect pushover, a puppet for the military intelligence faction that wants this war.
“We don’t need a president who is so weak that she needs to prove her strength to the American people by sacrificing the life of American military personnel in foreign engagements abroad.”
Kennedy added that, in contrast to Harris, Trump repeatedly has said that he would negotiate with Putin to end the Ukraine war.
“If JFK were alive today, he would be standing side by side with President Trump on this issue,” Kennedy said. “My uncle said that the most important thing we can do is talk to our adversaries. That’s why he installed a hot line in the White House and in his home at Hyannis Port so he could communicate directly with [former Soviet Union Premier Nikita] Khrushchev.”
