We know that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a certifiable lunatic. We know that his supporters are, too. And now we know that campaign has at least one straight-up Trumpster. Rita Palma, who has described herself as Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s state director in New York for his campaign, is caught on film urging people to knock on doors in Pennsylvania for Donald Trump. Imagine that. Who saw this coming -- besides all of us?
RFK Jr. is now running as an Independent, so it's peculiar to see one of his campaign officials telling voters to help another campaign in a battleground state, but here we are. I'm waiting for Rita and RFK Jr. to come out for a photo-op wearing MAGA hats. I know, maybe they'll participate in a boat parade, too.
Via CNN:
Rita Palma, who has identified herself as the Kennedy campaign's state director in New York, has repeatedly made the case, including in a meeting with Empire State Republicans, that efforts to put Kennedy on the ballot in New York will help "get rid of Biden," which she called her "No. 1 priority," and make it easier for Trump to win the historically Democratic state.
And we already knew that was their plan.
