A top Robert F. Kennedy Jr. campaign official and longtime anti-vaxxer says her overarching goal is to ruin Joe Biden’s chances of winning reelection in November, telling a group of GOP voters that the current president is “our mutual enemy.”
In a half-hour speech to the Empire State Republicans, Rita Palma, director of Kennedy’s New York State operation, shared her strategy for deep-sixing Biden’s run, describing his defeat as the “number one priority for me.”
“Right now, the task we have at hand is collecting 45,000 signatures to get Bobby on the ballot,” Palma said in footage of the gathering that was posted to YouTube but has since been deleted. “However much I adore Bobby Kennedy, I am a two-time Trump voter. I knocked on doors for him in Pennsylvania, in ‘16 and ‘20. I have more Trump T-shirts than I do Bobby Kennedy T-shirts… So, I was a strong Trump voter. But frankly, with the [support he showed for] vaccines, he lost me.”
