RFK Jr. hits back after Trump's 'barely coherent' rant

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. hit back at former President Trump following his barely coherent rant on TruthSocial Friday night targeting the Independent presidential candidate.
When frightened men take to social media they risk descending into vitriol, which makes them sound unhinged, Kennedy said Saturday in a social media post on X. President Trumps rant against me is a barely coherent barrage of wild and inaccurate claims that should best be resolved in the American tradition of presidential debate.
Kennedys rebuttal comes as Trump went after the independent White House candidate in a series of TruthSocial posts published on Friday. The former president argued the independent candidate has been inserted in the field to help President Biden and that his running mate, Nichole Shanahan, is not a serious vice presidential pick.
Kennedy praised Trump as a debater, but said he does not have to be panicked to exchange ideas on the podium. President Trump, who has proven himself the most adept debater in modern American political history, should not be panicked to meet me on that stage, Kennedy said.

(9,984 posts)... He believes Trump is, "the most adept debater in modern American political history," huh? Well, this proves RFK Jr is a liar. Also, he knows Trump well. I'd love to see a DJT vs RFK debate... Biden would win!

(8,883 posts)Should disqualify Kennedy from roaming in public without assistance. He is off the cliff loony. No nukes near him ever.

(12,607 posts)Where was I when this happened? Trumps actual debates are mediocre at best. Maybe Kennedy meant Trump's one-sided rallies.

(54,094 posts)Honestly, the most passion I've ever seen him speak is when he defended Israel's right to launch its reckless over the top retaliation against Palestinian neighborhoods.
And unlike his father, he's only against things. He doesn't offer any compelling vision of or solutions for today's problems. That's the most unKennedy thing about him.

If RFK AND Trump would debate each other first before any debate with Biden, Biden could say he watched it and then just say he is not debating either one of them.

(6,931 posts)"the most adept debater in modern American political history" should not be taken seriously.
And that is just one example of this man's bizarre ideas.

(54,498 posts)To call Trump the most adept debater only proves that is not playing with a full deck.
Should moderate! There should be a.judging system for lies, half truths, or ducking the question.
Special guest referees? ( Phil Scott, and Elizabeth Warren )The judging panel? (Al Franken, chief judge, Jim Jordan, token Dumbass!)
Seargeant At Arms? ( The Rock Dwayne Johnson might be good here)
