The Secret Service Failed JFK. Would They Protect RFK Jr.?

After an unhinged armed man showed up at one of the presidential candidate's speeches in Los Angeles last week, Robert F. #Kennedy, Jr. is now renewing his request to the #Biden administration for Secret Service protection -- IMMEDIATELY.

#RFKJr's previous request for a Secret Service detail back in May was denied.

Kennedy Campaign Manager Dennis Kucinich sent a letter to President Biden urging him to provide Democratic Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Secret Service protection on September 18, three days after the troubling incident in L.A.

Here’s Kucinich’s letter:

Dear President Biden,

This past Friday in Los Angeles, at a Hispanic Heritage event, a gunman posing as a U.S. Marshall sought to gain entrance to the venue where Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was about to speak. The man was carrying a fully loaded weapon and was accompanied by a second individual who carried additional weapons and ammunition. He was intercepted by a private security detail before he could harm anyone, and arrested by the LAPD.

The threat level to our candidate, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is increasing every day. He is not the only one in danger — every person who attends a campaign event is at risk. A specter of violence haunts our political process. Indeed, political assassinations pose a grave threat to democracy. It is not hard to imagine the civil chaos and political disintegration that could ensue with the return of the kind of assassinations of public officials and presidential candidates that marred the 1960s.

This ever-present threat of violence is something you are well aware of given the security requirements for you and members of your family.

It is astonishing that under such circumstances, you would deny Secret Service coverage to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has polled more than 20% in the first five primary states, and whose net favorability rating exceeds both yours and Donald Trump's.

Although it is a well-known historical fact, apparently in your case it bears repeating: Mr. Kennedy's uncle, President John F. Kennedy, was assassinated. Mr. Kennedy's father, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, was assassinated while a presidential candidate.

The American psyche still bears the scars of those devastating events. Together with the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., they sent America into a tailspin from which many believe the country has not yet recovered.

I served in Congress for 16 years and joined you on the campaign trail in one of two efforts I made to gain the Democratic nomination. You and I have known each other for more than 50 years. I know that you do not want to see America reeling again from the consequences of another political assassination. Therefore, I ask you in the spirit of patriotism, of fairness, and of good conscience to grant Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. the Secret Service protection that his circumstances so obviously warrant.

Sincerely,

Dennis J, Kucinich
Member of Congress, 1997-2013
Campaign Manager, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for President

Watch our panel discussion on Episode 13 of "Strange Bedfellows" with guests Jim DiEugenio, Kennedy historian and author of Oliver Stone's new "#JFK Revisited" documentary, plus #RFK assassination historian Lisa Pease, author of "A Lie Too Big to Fail."

We talk about why the Biden administration is still denying Kennedy the Secret Service protection he needs, and whether the Secret Service would actually do a proper job of protecting Kennedy in light of their failure to protect President John F. Kennedy.

Also, we discuss the ongoing efforts to get the long-awaited JFK Files released, and get a preview of some important upcoming events marking the 60th anniversary of the assassination this November 22.
