RFK Junior Claims Trump’s Campaign Asked Him to be the Former President’s Running Mate

Independent Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed on Monday that he was approached by representatives of Former President Donald Trump’s campaign asking him to be President Trump’s running mate.

“President Trump calls me an ultra-left radical. I’m soooo liberal that his emissaries asked me to be his VP. I respectfully declined the offer. I am against President Trump, and President Biden can’t win,” said Kennedy on X.

I am against President Trump, and President Biden can’t win.

Judging by his new website, it looks like President Trump knows who…

Kennedy’s tweet came in response to a video posted by Trump to truth social in which he criticized the Independent candidate for being a member of the far-left.

“RFK Junior is, as you know, the most radical left candidate in the race,” said Trump “I guess that would mean that RFK Jr’s going to be taking away votes from crooked Joe Biden, and he should because he’s actually better than Biden, he’s much better than Biden, if I was a Democrat I’d vote for RFK Jr. every single time over Biden.”

In the video, Trump acknowledged that he believes Kennedy to be a far better man than President Joe Biden, but claimed that Kennedy is only running as an Independent because he would not have had any chance against President Biden in the Democrat primary.

Kennedy’s tweet did not give any indication of when Kennedy was allegedly approached by Trump’s campaign.

Trump’s campaign has not responded to Kennedy’s claims, and it is unclear if, given the accuracy of Kennedy’s claim, Trump was aware of the offer, as only aides allegedly approached Kennedy, rather than Trump himself.

In March, Kennedy named his own Vice Presidential running mate, the 38-year-old California attorney Nicole Shanahan, who Trump criticized as another far-left liberal who became rich following her 2022 divorce from Google Co-founder Sergey Brin.

RFK, Jr. is absolutely right about the scamdemic being a corrupt coordinated effort with the military/medical industrial complex, Big Pharma, the CIA and the Fauci Cabal aided and abetted by the lamestream media. He’s far more intelligent than Biden (who isn’t?) but having picked a Far-Left running mate, he showed his true socialist colors. MAGA!

Kennedy has some good ideas and was right about the plandemic but his pick for vp is disappointing to say the least. Lost me with that

The whole system is rigged. I really don’t know why Trump bothers running. He’s a billionaire, got a family, and could sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor. I know I would. He doesn’t actually have a chance of getting elected by any means, short of an act of war, so what’s the point ? America is lost, and the takeover started on Jan 20, 2009, and finished on Jan 21, 2021.
