Robert F. Kennedy Jr. criticized the Biden Administration for denying Secret Service protections as a 2024 presidential candidate despite obvious safety concerns.

"Since the assassination of my father in 1968, candidates for president are provided Secret Service protection. But not me," RJK Jr. wrote on Twitter.

He added that the "typical turnaround time for pro forma protection requests from presidential candidates is 14 days. After 88 days of no response and after several follow-ups by our campaign, the Biden Administration just denied our request."

In response from the Biden Administration, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said, "I have determined that Secret Service protection for Robert F Kennedy Jr is not warranted at this time."


What is Joe Biden afraid of? RFK's popularity?

Presidential candidates do not get secret security detail until 120 days before the election. Twitter added a note sayin this. RFK threw in a 14/88 reference too but I’m sure chewy thinks that’s ok.

TBH RFK is probably better off getting his own security... secret service didnt work out so well for his uncle or father

I doubt RFK is really that worried about some assassin taking a shot at him. Having Secret Service agents protect you is more of a prestige thing. They can park anywhere they damn well please. If they need to get their client across town and it's rush hour, they can just contact the local PD and request/demand a motorcycle escort. Long line at a restaurant or the theater? Just push your way to the front, flash your badge and demand that your client be taken care of immediately. Those are things that private security can't do.

private security can do all of these things... you think trump and his entorouge were observing parking laws or waiting in lines at restaurants or theaters back before 2015?

private security can do virtually anything as long as they are backed by enough money and political power. ffs look at joe rogan - not even a billionaire, just a famous podcaster and yet he has a small army of ex-special forces dudes following him wherever he goes (and he doesnt wait in lines or observe parking laws)...

Without Republican money there is no RFK Jr. presidential campaign.

Even the Kennedy family is having nothing to do with him.
