There are masochists, and then there are RFK Jr. fans. According to Politico, the fans of the delusional product of generations of nepotism are holding on to the old adage that any publicity is good publicity, and this time, the publicity Kennedy is getting is abuse from Donald Trump.
The raging Republican has been targeting Kennedy because pollsters have found Kennedy is more damaging to Trump’s number than Biden’s, so Trump’s stubby thumbs have been posting away and Trump’s sycophants at Fox have been denigrating Kennedy where it was once boosting him.
“If Republicans and Democrats see him as a threat, that’s a good thing, because not a lot of people realize he’s running,” one supporter in Massachusetts said. Kennedy could become the third party candidate with the most support since Ross Perot’s 18.9% support in the 1992 presidential election.
