RFK Jr. joins the MAGA creature cantinaSteve Schmidt. Aug 24, 2024

Excerpts:
Panic not. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. endorsing Trump is a good thing for Kamala Harris, and a clarifying event in a race that must remain crystal clear. Clarity is a good thing.
I want to make a point about a man named Robert F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1968 while running for president at the age of 43. There is no person under the age of 55 in America, including me, who was alive when Robert Kennedy delivered the greatest extemporaneous political speech in American history, while informing a large crowd of black Americans in Indianapolis that Dr. King had been assassinated.
The political heir to those words is not Senator Kennedy’s eldest son, but rather, Kamala Harris. The repudiation of Senator Kennedy’s legacy, convictions, message and patriotism by his eldest son is an ugly event because Bobby Kennedy was an American giant.
John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy are immensely important figures in this profound moment of national testing. The two brothers, martyred in their 40s, have left for us a great inheritance.
The endorsement of convicted felon Trump by Senator Kennedy’s son does not belong to the late senator, his family, his legacy, or even Cheryl Hines. Collective guilt and guilt by association are unjust philosophies. In fact, they are evil. The endorsement is singular, and stands on its own merits. A man who was named by one of our greatest patriots has turned against the faith of his father, and embraced fascism and a man of malice, retribution and vengeance. Everything is in the open, and everything is perfectly clear.
