With their fringe loon relative running as a spoiler, members of the Kennedy family are joining President Biden today in Philadelphia to show who they're backing for President:
Several Kennedy family members plan to endorse President Biden for reelection at a campaign event in Philadelphia on Thursday, saying that Biden reflects the values and “moral leadership” of their clan’s most celebrated members, in a move intended in part to counter the independent campaign of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
More than a dozen Kennedys — including siblings of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — will be on hand during Biden’s remarks. The event comes at the end of the president’s three-day sprint through the battleground state of Pennsylvania, where he has tried to paint himself as a champion of the American middle class in the Kennedy mold.

“A vote for Joe Biden is a vote to save our democracy and our decency,” Kerry Kennedy, the elder Robert F. Kennedy’s daughters and the current candidate’s sister, plans to say, according to remarks released by the campaign. “It is a vote for what my father called, in his own presidential announcement in 1968 … ‘our right to the moral leadership of this planet.’”
Kerry Kennedy also plans to stress that Biden stands for the core values of her father and her family: “Daddy stood for equal justice, human rights, and freedom from want and fear. Just as President Biden does today.” [snip]
The Kennedys, however, do not appear likely to focus on the dissenting member of their family Thursday, but instead will aim their fire at Trump, who Kerry Kennedy plans to say is “attacking the most basic rights and freedoms that are core to who we are as Americans.”
“I can only imagine how Donald Trump’s outrageous lies and behavior would have horrified my father, Robert F. Kennedy, who proudly served as attorney general of the United States and honored his pledge to uphold the law and protect the country,” she will say, according to the prepared remarks.
Among those expected to attend Thursday’s event are Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, a former lieutenant governor of Maryland; Rory Kennedy, a documentary filmmaker; and former congressman Joseph P. Kennedy II (D-Mass.) — all children of the elder Robert F. Kennedy and siblings of the current candidate. Another former congressman, Joe Kennedy III (D-Mass.), also plans to be there.
It's important for voters to know that disturbed conspiracy theorist RFK, Jr., is not carrying on some "Kennedy legacy," but rather is being funded by Republican mega donors and others with an interest in taking votes away from Biden and restoring the Malignant Loser (a.k.a., Don Snoreleone) to the White House. Whether endorsements like this matter, in a close race where a handful of votes in swing states could determine the outcome, every opportunity to debunk and de-legitimatize this loon (who believes Biden is a greater threat to democracy than the Malignant Loser) must be taken.
