As Robert F. Kennedy Jr. scrounges for support ahead of the June presidential debate, he won’t find much help on Capitol Hill.

“It’s a joke,” Republican Rep. Max Miller of Ohio told NOTUS of Kennedy’s insurgent bid. “He knows it’s a joke.”

“He wants to be relevant. He’s a Kennedy. He’s bored. He has money. His wife’s a celebrity,” Miller continued. “He had nothing better to do than to change his political views like so many when they run for political office.”
