RFK jr campaign admits their goal is keep Biden from getting 270 EC votes, so GOP House can install Trump. [View all]

I remember that Steve Bannon and Roger Stone encouraged RFK jr. to run.

Rita Palma, NYS director for RFK Jr’s campaign, gives away the playbook for the campaign’s mission — it’s shady AF!

@ritamollerpalma openly admits the plan is take electoral votes from Biden in blue states, in order to force a contingent election so that the Republican controlled House elects our next president — Donald Trump.


RFK Jr’s campaign director in NY checks to make sure there are no Biden supporters in the audience.

Then she admits their goal is to keep Biden from getting 270 votes, so the House can throw the election to Trump.

This only works if the GOP keeps the House.

Vote. Them. Out.
