Trump surrogate and former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. argued that Vice-President Kamala Harris is not qualified to be president because America needs a leader “who can put together an English sentence.”
In an interview with NewsNation on Tuesday Kennedy said he dropped out of the presidential race because polling suggested that he might be helping Harris by remaining in the contest.
“It became clear to me that I was not gonna be allowed on the debating stage, which was really my only path to victory. I was already being boycotted by all of the mainstream media, the liberal media,” Kennedy told host Chris Cuomo in a clip highlighted by Mediaite. “And our polling was showing that if I stayed in the race, Vice President Harris would win, and I did not want that outcome.”
“I don’t think that Vice President Harris is a worthy president of this country,” he continued. “I think we need to have a president who can give an interview, who can articulate a vision, who can put together an English sentence, who can articulate and defend her policies and her record, and who can engage in a debate.”
Ironically, Kennedy was actually trying to make the case for why voters should support Trump— a candidate who changes subjects mid-thought and has trouble formulating complete, coherent sentences which oftentimes leads to incomprehensible speeches that sometimes confuses his most ardent supporters.
Kennedy ended his long shot bid for the presidency last month and threw his support behind Trump.
He said at the time that his name would remain on the ballot in many noncompetitive states. But he would request to have his name removed from the ballot in key battleground states amid concerns that his appearance could pull votes from Trump.
However, several crucial swing states including Michigan, North Carolina and Wisconsin, have denied his request to remove his name from the ballot.
