Kennedy Jr. Blasts The DNC, Biden For ‘Rigged’ Primary With Announcement Of No Debates – ‘That’s Troubling’

On Sunday, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the son of the 1968 Democrat presidential candidate, blasted the Democrat National Committee for its recent decision to not have any primary debates, calling the primary system “rigged” to favor Biden.

Kennedy joined Breitbart News Sunday to discuss his campaign announcement and his platform with the conservative audience after he announced his candidacy on Wednesday.

Kennedy began the interview by blasting the radical Left for censoring conservative voices, adding that throughout history those who wish to censor speech are always “the bad guys.” He went on to say that it is happening “because people don’t trust the government anymore because the government lies and the media lies.”

The 69-year-old Democrat then went on to blast the party apparatus for its decision to move away from New Hampshire and Iowa to be the first states to hold a primary, instead opting for South Carolina.

“The DNC, at this point, has taken the official position that there will be no debate, and I think that’s unfortunate,” Kennedy Jr. said in reference to the DNC’s decision to not have debates for 2024. “I think what the DNC did to New Hampshire is also unfortunate.”

“President Biden didn’t do well there [New Hampshire]; he came in fifth. So they took New Hampshire, and they kicked it out of first place,” he explained. “And now they’re gonna say — they’re saying that they’re going to completely remove the delegates from New Hampshire, and that, we should be at this point in history.”

South Carolina, the first state in the Democrat primary, was where Biden famously was able to shift his momentum in 2020 after winning a majority of black voters in the state.

“It’s very cheap to campaign in,” Kennedy said about New Hampshire. “And it has the largest independent block in the country. And people [don’t] make their minds up until they see the candidates again and again and again, and they shake the candidate’s hands five times before deciding who to vote for.”

“You have to go in, and handshake people and nail salons and diners, and you get grilled,” he said about the primary process in the Granite State. “These candidates get grilled by an 80-year-old woman who reads The Economist and reads the Financial Times every day.”

“And, you know, she asked questions about some arcane matter. And then the follow-up question, then another follow-up question, all of these things that you’ll never get from CNN or from the New York Times, or the kind of soundbite culture in every other state, the, you know, you can, the candidates can raise a billion dollars and take over that state, kind of aerial, aerial bombard it, carpet bomb it with, you know, with advertisements,” he continued. “And it really is about money. New Hampshire is the one place where you got to do retail politics, you cannot escape.”

Kennedy Jr. then went on to explain that the DNC’s action shows that the system is rigged and that the Democrat Party’s actions are bad for democracy.

“When you have so many Americans who are concerned about election integrity, we should be doing everything we can in our party to show that, you know, this is not rigged, rigged system,” he said. “That it is actually democracy… people can run and that they can get to debate and that the public is gonna be able to see them, and they’re doing kind of the opposite.” 

“There are too many Americans who already think that the whole system is rigged against them. And this is confirmation of that. And I think that’s troubling,” he added.

RFK Jr. is attempting to give a voice to Americans who feel like the system is rigged against them and his inability to actually debate President Biden will hurt his campaign. The DNC is showing that they are afraid of what Kennedy will say and instead is opting to hide Biden away, just like they did in 2020.
