Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Rages at Democrats for ‘Rigged’ Primary Process, Tells Fox He’s Banned From ‘Democratic Networks’

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. compared the Democratic Party’s primary process to elections in Russia following President Joe Biden dropping out of the race.
Kennedy Jr., now running an independent presidential campaign, accused Democrats of having a “rigged” primary process during an appearance on Fox News with Jesse Watters . The party, Kennedy Jr. added, made a “strategic mistake” and turned off voters by so openly backing Biden, noting various rule changes as well as some primary votes shutting down altogether, like in Florida .
“A few weeks ago, President Biden was ridiculing Vladimir Putin , who won 88% of the vote in Russia, and he said that that was a fixed election because President Putin made sure that no adversaries could challenge him, and also that he had fixed the press so the press wouldn’t cover his adversaries,” Kennedy Jr. said. “The Democratic Party succeeded in doing the same thing.”
The independent presidential candidate went on to praise Fox for allowing him on the air and accusing “Democratic networks” of purposefully keeping him from the airwaves. Kennedy Jr. has been a controversial figure in politics in recent years, primarily due to his vaccine skepticism which has been challenged in press interviews .
“I haven’t been allowed on any of the Democratic networks: ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN. Fox has allowed me on. You have allowed me to speak, you debate me, you give me a platform even though you don’t agree with things that I say,” he said. “I think that’s the way the media is supposed to work.”
Kennedy Jr. appeared on Fox News again on Monday morning where he again accused Democrats of pushing a “rigged” nomination process. He also accused the administration of purposefully denying him Secret Service protection — which he now has following the attempted assassination of Donald Trump — to dry up his campaign funds. Kennedy Jr. claimed about a third of everything coming in had previously been spent on private security.
