A video recording of a phone call between independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former President Donald Trump leaked online. NewsNation political contributor Mick Mulvaney tells “The Hill” the video call release was a “huge breach in protocol" and that some Trump staffers will never want to call Kennedy again.

RFK explained why the videographer was there and apologized. No need to trash him. This did not make Trump look bad. Let a foul be a foul.

[andrewvela]

Trumps team didn't call RFK Jr! Donald Trump called RFK Jr and Im pretty sure if he wants to call him again, he will.

[thinkforyourself]

I love RFK Jr. and am proud to give this man my vote.

[karsn]

Not cool to call 9 percent of Americans who want to vote for RFK strange. Do not have this guy back news nation

[hejsan]

If you have a brain, you follow the news, you are educated in how society works - you vote RFK JR. Thats it. Its so simple. He is by far the best candidate EVER. You take all the wisdom combined from past presidents worth pursuing and you have Kennedy. People dont take time to listen to what he says. Watch that Dr Phil Interview with RFK and I promise you change your mind about him.

* MAKE AMERICA DECENT & STRONG AGAIN
* This Time: Vote FOR the TRUE Independent REFORM Candidate...
** R-F-K ... ALL The Way...!!!"

[calicomist]

Gee, this strange mish-mash of an RFK JR supporter is a former multi-generational Republican-my family (all lines) have been Republican since Lincoln. Once I was even been a delegate to my state's Republican convention. Your loss. I'm voting for RFK JR 2024!

[kate]

Trump and protocol?

😮Where’s the drama? Polls say Kennedy draws equally and from non voters.

[kipanderson]

Trump did all the talking. Why did he call RFK? Was this verified? I trust absolutely no one these days. Still voting for Kennedy!

[standupguy]

Lol, RFK Jr. doesn't need Trump to call him. Unlike all of the other weird sycophants in Trump's circle that are desperate for a position, RFK Jr.'s life is.not reliant on being in Trump's good graces. Rfk Jr. will either win the presidency or go back to being a successful attorney with a beautiful wife and loving family.

"Strange Mishmash" here.... I'm a supporter of RFK Jr. In random order, here's some of my reasons for supporting RFK Jr...
-genuinely wants to heal the 'culture war' divide in our country, and he has the ability to, being liked by many different 'types' of people from across the spectrum of issues and ideas, who are tired of the 2-party duopoly
-has integrity, has courage, truth seeker in general, thinks for himself (not a DNC/RNC puppet)
-incorruptible, cannot be bought or bullied
-thoughtful and introspective, deeply considers problems and possible solutions
-vocal about the corruption of 'Citizens United' and the power of the big private money controlling government
-vocal about putting an end to corporate capture over government (Pharma, banks, oil, big AG, military industrial complex)
-wants to get us out of 'forever wars' and to pull back on and expose the corruption within the military industrial complex
-wants to pull back NATO and resolve the Ukraine war via negotiations with Putin, rather than perpetuating the escalation (which could truly lead to the most dire outcome imaginable)
-wants to bring the military budget back to 'Eisenhower minimum' and to instead invest that money in making us strong at home and in correcting our outrageous debt and growing inflation
-dedicated to rebuilding the Middle Class in our country
-dedicated to creating our country as a moral exemplar and economic force in the world, rather than as a militaristic bully
-vocal about the dishonesty and agendas of commercial media
-wants to abolish all pharmaceutical advertisements on television (this has major influence on the 'news' narratives)
-wants to keep the pharmaceutical industry honest with safety testing, transparency, etc
-wants to get rid of government assist crony capitalism and subsidies for big ag, oil, etc
-advocate for civil liberties
-vocally against censorship (will pardon Snowden and Assange on 'day 1')
-against mandates and police state-like policies
-classical liberal sensibilities with respect of others (without the 'woke' or fake identity politics)
-vocal commitment to transparency regarding FBI, CIA, NSA over-stepping and out-stepping
-would put the federal budget on blockchain to be fully transparent for all citizens
-passionate about environmental and ecological concerns
-passionate about investing in regenerative farming practice
-passionate about cleaning our food supply and exposing the unhealthy ingredients in processed 'foods'
-wants to bring preventative health more into public discourse; nutrition, exercise, etc
-will immediately close the border (this is not some republican scare issue, it is a very major issue – for many reasons)
-will send the necessary Asylum Judges to the border to expedite the process for legal migrants
-has an excellent plan to make homes affordable for all, including a program that backs mortgages at 3% and a tax structure to keep Black Rock from continuing to buy everyone out (this also will bring rent costs down dramatically)
-due to his family/background, he's well-learned from the inside of the various power structures
-due to his decades as an attorney successfully taking on major corporations, as well as government regulatory corruption, he is exceptionally well-suited for taking on the myriad of corporate capture over our government

*I wrote the list above many months before Oct 7, 2023. I should add, especially directed towards my brothers and sisters of the populist 'left' and populist 'right', 'progressives', 'libertarians', and people who are just antiwar, in general...
-RFK Jr. is in support of Israel (as am I). However, this in no way means he isn't also in support of helping the innocent people within Gaza. RFK Jr. has always been very aware of the conditions for the people within Gaza, and is especially aware of, and feels deep heartache for, the Hell they are living in now. He is a person who, as President, would do all he could to help seek lasting peace and prosperity for all in the region
-although RFK Jr. is a supporter of Israel, he is not a fan of Netanyahu, and has said repeatedly that he would not be writing him a blank check with American dollars to do with as he wishes
-there is no one who would fight harder or more tirelessly to reach out to everyone involved, as well as to leaders outside of the region, to try to negotiate and implement a sustainable peaceful solution for both the Israelis and the Palestinians. RFK Jr. would bring many ideas and a commitment to approaching the problem there from several different angles, and involving several other players. In fact, he would have been doing this before Oct. 7. (Simply yelling 'apartheid', 'genocide', etc is not in service of an actual solution – ask Hamas)
-and unlike anyone from the 2 major parties who supports Israel, RFK Jr. would never be lead by the corrupt (and disgusting) sheer financial interests of the Military Industrial Complex when it comes to any of America's foreign policy; including with Israel

What in the hell is the big deal about this phone call

[beebee]

I've watched Kennedy's content pretty closely and noticed he schedules multiple video events in a single day, sometimes with a videographer following his every move all day. There's going to be people who think he did it on purpose, and people who don't. If someone wanted to discredit Trump, they would need to find an entirely different subject, because Trump followers already know his position on this subject, as he's talked about it publicly MANY times.

[Root]

Aw man. Now I’m still not voting for Trump and still voting for Kennedy.

[sherrykumar]

Oh how will Bobby ever recover from Trump not calling him again Mick?
#Kennedy24

[ElectricSorrow]

If it is strange to be a centrist that doesn’t buy into all the drama and feeding into the divide, then I am one weird son of a bitch.

[marymanju]

Trump is not someone I want to be in the White House. RFKjr is my only choice . Trump is a narcissist and a show man. He is not a good choice for president.

[kats_journey_]

He is a different person, you can see it in his demeanour.

[CatherinaVilar]

Leaked video of a private phone call is always unethical. RFK jr. shouldn't have let it happen.

[PowhatanWayne]

This is a hilarious attempt to dismiss how much Kennedy makes an impact
