Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has suspended his campaign for President. He has not technically withdrawn from the race and is still on the ballot in several states. However, he has asked his supporters to vote for President Trump. The Biden administration has decided to end his Secret Service Protection.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, Breitbart<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who sought\u00a0Secret Service protection for months and finally had it granted after the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump, had his protection pulled because he suspended his presidential campaign, law enforcement sources told<\/a> the New York Post<\/i>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Kennedy\u00a0confirmed<\/a>\u00a0in an interview with Tucker Carlson this week that his Secret Service protection was pulled following his suspension announcement and endorsement of former President Donald Trump.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m technically still running for president. I\u2019m running for president in 40 states. I did not terminate my campaign,\u201d the Democrat-turned-independent told Carlson when asked about Secret Service pulling protection.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Secret Service typically protects presidents, vice presidents, their immediate family members, former presidents, former first ladies, children of former presidents, visiting heads of state, and top presidential candidates.\u00a0If a candidate drops out of a race, the agency usually scales back its protection, but can also terminate it altogether, the New York Post<\/i> noted.<\/strong><\/p>\n Considering the Kennedy family history and the recent assassination attempt on President Trump, this is foolish and petty. The decision on Secret Service protection is made by the Department of Homeland Security; however, I seriously doubt the Presient was unaware of or in disagreement with the decision. It is typical of the behavior of the petty, angry man we currently have as President and his administration.<\/p>\n The article notes:<\/p>\n President Joe Biden notably ordered Secret Service protection for Kennedy following the assassination attempt on Trump.\u00a0Biden\u2019s decision came hours after Trump\u00a0demanded<\/a>\u00a0Secret Service protection for Kennedy in a post to Truth Social.<\/strong><\/p>\n Before the attempted assassination of Trump, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had allegedly previously denied Kennedy\u2019s request for Secret Service protection six times, causing his campaign to spend millions on private security, a Kennedy staffer\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0the National Review. Kennedy had, again, requested protection in early June, on the anniversary of his father\u2019s assassination, Axios\u00a0reported<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Both Kennedy\u2019s father and uncle were assassinated. Kennedy\u2019s father, Robert Kennedy, was shot on June 5, 1968, after winning the Democrat primary in California, and died the next day. Kennedy\u2019s uncle, former President John F. Kennedy, was assassinated on November 22, 1963.<\/strong><\/p>\n After Trump was shot through the ear while speaking at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, Secret Service has\u00a0faced heavy backlash<\/a>. The agency\u2019s response to the shooting has been seen as\u00a0the biggest Secret Service failure<\/a> in four decades.<\/strong><\/p>\n The hyper-political atmosphere of Washington needs to end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Robert F.
