A campaign official for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s New York operation suggested to a group of Republican voters Friday that the independent candidate could help former President Donald Trump in his rematch with President Joe Biden.
According to the video of the event, which was posted on the Uncle Mertie YouTube account and then taken down, Rita Palma, who identified herself as Kennedy's New York state director, encouraged GOP voters to sign a petition to put Kennedy on the ballot in New York, arguing it would "get rid of Biden" and might even hand former President Trump a win in a heavily Democratic state.
"The only way that Trump can even (have a) remote possibility of taking New York is if Bobby is on the ballot," Palma said. If it's Trump v. Biden, Biden wins."
