Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lambasts 'DNC-aligned mainstream media,' accuses them of engineering Harris' rise
Fox News
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lambasted mainstream media outlets as having "colluded" with the DNC as he suspended his campaign on Friday.
Kennedy, the nephew of President John F. Kennedy and son of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, both of whom were assassinated, also said his famous Democratic family members would have been "astonished" to learn Harris had not done a single interview or "unscripted encounter with voters" in the nearly five weeks she's been leading the party.
"This is profoundly undemocratic. How are people to choose when they don’t know whom they are choosing, and how can this look to the rest of the world?" he asked. "My father and my uncle were always conscious of America’s image abroad, because of our nation’s role as the template for democracy, a role model for democratic processes, and the leader of the free world. Instead of showing us her substance and character, the DNC and its media organs engineered a surge of popularity for Vice President Harris based upon, well, nothing.
"No policies, no interviews, no debates, only smoke and mirrors and balloons in a highly produced Chicago circus."
