    Biden Administration Denies RFK Jr. Secret Service Protection: Assassination Risk

    'Surely that DHS advisory committee that decided RFK Jr. doesn't need protection was non-political.'

    Sure, the same guy who is tying to jail his strongest general election opponent, just so happens to leave his strongest primary opponent, vulnerable to assassination.

    For Biden, RFK is a problem. 'The level of avarice the Deep State actors retain in their black little scales for RFK Jr., the thorn in their side, is off the charts; I don't believe we've ever seen anything like it, even with the relentless attacks and smears of Trump.'

    'The corporate state institutes a legacy media blackout policy on him. They malign his wife, a popular actress, as guilty of thoughtcrime by association. They try to get him kicked off the ballot.'

    Everytime we think that we have plumbed the depths of their evil, they show us that there is more.

    I wish the Joe Biden and the folks in his Administration were better people. Please discuss.

    This saves the Democratic underworld the trouble of having to plan a hit.

    Secret service protection is extended to major candidates 120 days before the general election.

    Is RFK JR. A major candidate?

    How far are we from the general election?

    Obama got special protection.

    I don't know if Hillary Clinton had special protection.

    Kennedy might be the only normal-risk candidate that we've had in a long time. Don't let the name Kennedy fool you.

    Surely it was. What's the issue here ?

    Do all dozen of the Republican candidates have Secret Service protection?

    I don't think anyone who shot his dad or uncle are still around.

    The poll workers that Trump falsely accused by name of fraud are at a much greater risk than RFK Jr is.

    In fact, RFK Jr running would be more a threat to Trump than to Biden. But MAGA extremists are not intelligent enough to know this. So MAGA stupidity helps make RFK safer.

    RFK Jr. Gears Up Iowa Campaign To Challenge President Biden

    '"We're starting now," said Kennedy's campaign manager Dennis Kucinich, a former congressman from Ohio who himself ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2004 and 2008.'

    'Kennedy will appear at the Des Moines Register's Political Soapbox at the Iowa State Fair on Aug. 12.'

    Hillary had secret service protection since she was a former first lady (wife of Bill Clinton).

    Remember that she was Secretary of State up until 2013, 3 years before she was running for President, had been involved in some very controversial foreign interventions, so I'm guessing she probably would have been given increased protection during that time.

    They want him at risk for assassination. This is probably the most corrupt president in modern history.

    Devon Archer: Joe Biden’s denials about Hunter and his laptop are now disproven. What will he say in the 2024 presidential debates?

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/

    'Will the president have to apologize for misleading the public during the 2020 debates, when he categorically denied his son’s influence-peddling overseas?'

    So, with Crooked Joe, you never know if RFK is going to start picking up support.

    Nixon currently holds the title, it looks like the challenger, the Orange Stain, will knock him out shortly.
    It's not even close: 7 felons in his campaign and staff, white supremacists doing his bidding, 485 convicted in the Jan 6 rioters...........and on and on.

    You people have really hitched your wagon to a Star !

    Not as sick as the MAGA types who wanted to kill the Vice-President because he refused to go along with the Orange Stain's corrupt attempt to stay in power after he lost a free, fair and secure election. That is what Republicans and MAGA type do when they lose. They were out for blood !

    Thank God I read this with no coffee, I'd be having to clean up the spewing of it if I had.
    Until he announces as a candidate he gets nothing more than any other citizen.

    RFK asked for SS protection.

    He detailed his reasons for wanting it earlier than is typical

    His request was denied despite wide latitude allowed for being able to do so.

    Bottom line.

    so if you are going to agree with the denial then at least give your reasons why RFK has nothing to fear and you know better than he does that he’s safe. Your current reason amounts to nothing more than tradition.

    Wow!
    WHY hasn't Williamson been given SS Protection???
    In the latest NYT/Siena poll for the Dem Nomination (Biden Holds a 51 Pt Lead over RFK Jr.(64-13) and a 54 Pt Lead over Williamson (64-10)).
    Thus, 2 MAJOR Challengers to Biden have reached Double Figures!
    Biden 64%
    RFK Jr. 13%
    Williamson 10%
    (And, given the methidology of the poll, the admitted MOE is +/- 3.67%)

    The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3.67 percentage points for all registered voters
    Thus: Williamson is in a Statistical TIE with RFK Jr.

    (And, based on the 3.67 MOE could actually be leading RFK Jr. for 2nd Place).
    So? Where is the MAGA Outrage over Williamson not getting SS protection?
    Is Biden leaving his strongest primary opponent (WILLIAMSON) vulnerable to assassination?
    For Biden, WILLIAMSON is a problem. 'The level of avarice the Deep State actors retain in their black little scales for WILLIAMSON the thorn in their side, is off the charts; I don't believe we've ever seen anything like it, even with the relentless attacks and smears of Trump.'

    Makes sense. No other candidate is entitled to such protection. At least government has engaged in equality on this issue.

    Good thing RFK isn’t acting entitled. He merely submitted a request. Others are free to do so and provide their reasons why they think they are in danger. Nothing to do with entitlement and everything to do with each candidates perception of their personal safety.

    i have sort of dismissed RFK jr, being he is an environmental lawyer, cant imagine why the magas like him except for his anti-vacine stance, what a bunch of all-around malarky

    Nevertheless it is not a benefit provided to candidates.

    Yes it is, it’s a benefit typically provided to major candidates 120 days before an election.

    RFK merely would like it provided early which begs really a bunch of questions to me:

    1) is RFKs reasons reasonable?
    2) if other candidates submit requests is there even enough resources to provide them protection to potentially so many for so long?
    3) Why can’t these candidates provide their own security?

    Questions 2 and 3 are far more compelling reasons to me to potentially dislike RFKs request. But the “it’s early” reason im hearing in this thread is not.
