Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is either a dangerous right-wing plant or a dangerous left-wing plant, depending on who is talking on any given day.
Republicans and Democrats are siphoning off some of the money they’ve set aside to attack each other to try and destroy the insurgent Kennedy candidacy, which each says is a threat to their respective cause.
Veterans of presidential politics’ smallest and most quixotic club — the third-party campaign staffer — have never seen anything quite like it. The RFK Jr. campaign lives rent-free in the minds of both major political parties in a way few have ever done. But, perhaps counterintuitively, some third-party vets support the efforts to stomp out the Kennedy embers before they catch real fire.
