Supporters of the son of Bobby Kennedy are worried about the safety of RFK, Jr. Today, the Biden administration denied Secret Service protection of the presidential candidate, saying protection is "not warranted." |
Sec. Mayorkas and POTUS have sole authority to provide Secret Service protection for any reason before120-day mark; as was done for Obama (07), Trump (2016) Biden (2020) and Bernie (16, 20). Only president to play politics with protection, ever, is Joe Biden.
The son of Robert Frances Kennedy has requested Secret Service protection, but the Biden administration denied the request today, saying protection is "not warranted at this time."
Robert Frances Kennedy, Jr. is a candidate for the Democratic Party nominee for the presidency of the United States.
Kennedy broke the news this morning: Writes Kennedy:
Since the assassination of my father in 1968, candidates for president are provided Secret Service protection. But not me. Typical turnaround time for pro forma protection requests from presidential candidates is 14-days. After 88-days of no response and after several follow-ups by our campaign, the Biden Administration just denied our request. Secretary Mayorkas: "I have determined that Secret Service protection for Robert F Kennedy Jr is not warranted at this time." Our campaign's request included a 67-page report from the world's leading protection firm, detailing unique and well established security and safety risks aside from commonplace death threats.
Admirers and campaign supporters have long expressed private concern that the son of Bobby Kennedy faces unique and grave threats, earning the enmity of much of corporate America, the military-industrial-intel complex and Democrat Party officialdom which has politicized virtually every arm of federal government..Since the assassination of my father in 1968, candidates for president are provided Secret Service protection. But not me.

Biden, who faces lingering questions over his cognitive ability, has offered no comment on this development.
