Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has become a major thorn in the side of the Democratic Party ever since he announced that he would be running for president as an Independent during this election cycle. Now, the left’s hatred for Kennedy is sure to grow even more after what former President Donald Trump just said about him.

Trump revealed that he is open to Kennedy serving in his administration if he wins this election. He said this after it was reported that Kennedy had reached out to Kamala Harris’ “highest intermediaries.” They then told him that her team had “no interest in talking.”

Kennedy had wanted to speak to Harris about her potentially giving him a cabinet position if he dropped out of the race and endorsed her. After she refused to talk to him, however, he was left disillusioned by both Harris and the Democratic Party. That’s when Trump chimed in to say that he both likes and respects Kennedy.

From Daily Wire:
“He’s a brilliant guy. He’s a very smart guy. I’ve known him for a very long time,” Trump said. “I didn’t know he was thinking about getting out, but if he is thinking about getting out, certainly I’d be open to it.”

Trump said that he would “love” an endorsement from Kennedy because he’s “always liked” him. He indicated that he “probably would” appoint Kennedy to a role in the administration if Kennedy were to drop out and endorse him.

“I like him a lot. I respect him a lot,” Trump said. “I probably would, if something like that would happen. He’s a very different kind of a guy — a very smart guy. And, yeah, I would be honored by that endorsement, certainly.”

This comes after Kennedy sent a brutal message to Harris and her campaign on social media.

“The Democratic Party positions itself as the party of liberty,” he wrote. “Kamala Harris says that Americans should make personal decisions without the ‘government telling them what to do.’ Tim Walz’s Golden Rule is ‘Mind your own damn business.'”

“In view of the censorship, surveillance, vaccine mandates, and the confederacy of fixers openly working to prevent me from getting on ballots, this is like the arsonist telling us he’s a firefighter,” he added. “I am running to make America once again the Land of Liberty.”

Harris Made A Big Mistake

It seems that Harris made a huge mistake when she refused to take Kennedy’s call. Had she simply been polite and spoken to him for a few minutes, she undoubtedly would have secured his endorsement. She then never would have had to worry about him in this race again. Instead, Harris threw his call in his face, and now she’s paying for it.

The Democrat establishment despises Kennedy because they can’t stand the thought of someone challenging the candidate that they’ve anointed. It should be noted that the Democrat elite usurped democracy to name Harris as Joe Biden’s replacement. Instead of letting Democrat voters have a say, they decided to effectively name Harris as the presumptive nominee themselves.

That’s why the thought of someone like Kennedy taking votes from Harris when voters finally are allowed to let their views on her be known is particularly terrifying for top Democrats.

This also shows once again just how savvy Trump really is. Just when Harris blew it by disrespecting Kennedy, Trump swept in to try and win over the Independent candidate. It’s easy to see why Trump has been such a successful businessman, while Harris has been one of the least popular vice presidents of all time.

In the end, we wouldn’t be surprised if Harris looks back on the way she handled Kennedy’s call as one of her biggest mistakes of this race.

Key Takeaways: 

• Kennedy calls Harris saying he’ll endorse her if she promises him a Cabinet spot.
• Harris refuses to take Kennedy’s call.
• Trump praises Kennedy and says he “probably would” give him a Cabinet position.
