| Biden orders RFK Jr to get Secret Service protection | |
| 2024-07-16 | |
[CBSnews] President Biden has directed the Secret Service to protect independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., following Saturday's attempted assassination of Donald Trump, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced Monday.
"In light of this weekend's events, the president has directed me to work with the Secret Service to provide protection to Robert Kennedy Jr.," Mayorkas announced during Monday's White House press briefing. Kennedy is still trying to appear on ballots across the country, and his presidential aspirations are a long shot. But he does enjoy strong support from some Americans, and his events have drawn crowds. Mr. Biden has ordered an independent review of Trump's Saturday rally and law enforcement's handling of the situation. Trump was not seriously injured when he was shot, but one spectator was killed, and two more were critically injured. The shooter was outside of the security perimeter, but managed to fire off shots mere hundreds of feet away from the stage of Trump's Butler County, Pennsylvania, rally site. Related: Robert F.

| #15 You think that when Trump wins that means you will win the policy changes that will make America great. But the two things are different. The Democrats are a corrupt disaster run by the war machine. But Trump's entire first term in office shows he will promise you anything then not do it. So really, either way you don't win. Your only hope of getting your democracy to be responsive is to take the hard medicine, risk losing and vote for the independent candidate, you have a viable one in RFK. You know what would happen then? The two major parties would stop taking voters for granted. |

| #13 Also Frank G I will say this, which is pertinent to everyone in the US. Trump will win this election. You are hoping that means he actions the things you care about: securing the southern border etc. But he is not going to do any of that. Trump will win the election But you are not going to win the election. That's because you're all just falling for the "I hate the other team" two-party shell game It's one or the other side but both red team and blue team answer only to the donor class and that includes Trump. In Australia far away here, sadly it affects us what happens in the US ricochets here including BLM including the poison mRNA, including the war on free speech - everything. |

| #12 FrankG, I spend a lot of time listening about it mainly as the best commentators come out of the US RFK Jr is the only anti-corruption candidate you have my evidence for this is Trump's previous presidency. He didn't build the wall and he brought in operation warp speed bringing us all the poison vax. (and i am not interested in the 'dims blocked him' or 'he was deceived' excuses) He sent weapons and money to Ukraine also - so much for America first. He is a populist, which the Foreign Policy blob and military contractors don't like as it's a threat to their forever-war revenue But he's not a big threat like RFK would be He's not an existential threat they're prepared to assassinate Trump for even being a minor threat to revenue and foreign policy control. RFK would literally take them apart. Also, Trump is not going to secure your southern border like you wish. He has said he will electronically tag instead. You want a secure southern border. Trump will say anything now and not do it. He had that chance already in 2016 and he didn't do it. |

| #11 ^ Ignorance in Australia. You have noooo idea what you're talking about, and thank God, you can't vote here. |

| #10 so now they want to get RFK killed? He should be the next US President, he is the only one who will really root out their networks because he knows it from the INSIDE of the democrats where the rot is festering. Trump can take care of the Bush/Cheney networks in the repubs. |

| #8 Slow Joe and his colleagues set the conditions for disaster by steering the ship of state into the night storm; then blame sleeping passengers for the wreck as the row away to safety. |

| #7 Slow Joe waits for something bad to happen before taking precautions. |

| #6 RFKs run is damaging to Biden although he does hurt Trump in certain swing states. Biden does not have the margin available to sustain the harm, though. I think that one of Biden’s handlers explained to Jill that pressuring RFK to get out by not giving him protection is liable to backfire in spectacular fashion. The post Trump assassination attempt polls are going to be brutal for Jill. |
