RFK Jr. reacts to Biden-Trump CNN Debate | FULL interview

Speaking exclusively with NewsNation following the CNN Presidential Debate and his own concurrent event, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said he thinks the first presidential debate is, "going to leave a lot of Americans depressed."

When asked about how he could impact the race, Kennedy said, "I'm the only one who can beat President Trump."

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump went head-to-head in the CNN Presidential Debate on June 27, 2024.

Its a crime that he was not allowed on the stage.

[TexasATRAS]

The demoncratic party doesn’t want RFK jr to run. He’s not a puppet.

[George-wwpr]

All you guys who are going on about his voice, it's called Spasmodic dysphonia, a neurological disorder in the muscles around the voice box. It's actually improving. YOU WILL GET USED TO IT. Listen to this man. He really cares about us, and has got nothing but solutions to offer.

[superbwater]

We are tired of choosing the lesser of 2 evils he is correct.

[robertpeyton]

RFK Junior won the debate without being there.

[elizabethkrenke]

After this debate, I’m WAY MORE INCLINED to vote for RFK!

[lolabloo]

I can see why they didn't want him on the debate stage. He absolutely exposes how ridiculous the debates really are. He was the only one who was actually making clear statements. Even the questions were elaborated on and became the real questions us Americans actually have

[jasonwilcox]

I almost ended up homeless because my rent DOUBLED, dont tell me the economy is fine. It blows my mind.

[SgtSam]

RFK Jr’s event was so refreshing. That other thing on CNN was a disaster.

[LindaMa-nezm]

I have chills listening to RFK Jr. I want to shake people and say please realize our children are the main people losing.

[KarensOpinionsMayDiffer]

He’s such a stellar human being. We can’t waste this once in a lifetime opportunity - President Kennedy!

[davidsoltwedel]

Kennedy has already been a better candidate than Biden. I am a conservative and wouldn’t be terribly upset if Kennedy gets it. He is much better than Biden. Not as conservative as me by any stretch but a 1000 times better and definitely more coherent than Biden

[sciencefaction]

RFK had 5.5 million viewers, he was the real winner against these 2 Uniparty clowns.

[Taking_Back_Thyme]

I am totally depressed and filled with anxiety over the future of this country and our safety.

[josipsaric]

RFK.JR has the biggest intellect in the room.

[lukemcinerney]

I can't believe RFK has been shadow banned. he should be up on that stage with them

[Daniel_Antonio_Arellano]

Most people will turn to RFK Jr. to vote for. He's the only one that makes sense at this point.

[danielmurphy]

The truth of the matter isn’t RFK not having a place on the debate stage with Trump and Biden. It’s really that the two of them not deserving to be on a stage with him.

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)
-not phony
-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 problem via negotiations
-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. As President, he is a person who 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

[susanfrary]

RFK is a leader I can follow. I can believe him. He makes me want to be a better American.
