WCBD News 2 reports: Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. hosted a town hall in Charleston on Wednesday. He spoke primarily about the economic issues he sees plaguing our country, and prior to taking the stage, News 2 spoke with him in an exclusive interview about those issues. Kennedy is looking to spread a message of “economic hope” in the Lowcountry, and across the nation; it’s something he thinks the country is currently lacking. “Both President Trump and President Biden are running on platforms that they’ve brought prosperity to this country,” Kennedy said. “But when I travel around South Carolina and other states, I’m not seeing that. I’m seeing people who are living at a level of desperation that I have not seen in this country ever.” Read the full article here.

The Hill reports: To say that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is being negatively targeted by many in the left-of-center mainstream media would be an understatement. Not a day goes by that he is not vilified by a left-leaning news site. As Kennedy himself has stressed, if those on the left feel he is so dangerously wrong on what ails the Biden administration, draconian COVID policies or using Ukraine to fight a proxy war with Russia, why not debate him in a live setting and prove him to be the fool they claim him to be? I suspect such live debates would be watched and heard by millions of Americans seeking added clarity on those subjects and more. Sadly, the left’s fear of Kennedy will prevent them from happening.

The Las Vegas Review Journal reports: Last month, Mr. Kennedy tweeted that he had sought Secret Service protection, but that the agency ignored his request and then turned him down. “Since the assassination of my father in 1968, candidates for president are provided Secret Service protection. But not me,” he wrote. His campaign manager, the quixotic Dennis Kucinich, who also ran a long-odds presidential campaign in 2008, went further. “The American people, no matter their politics, will find this decision shocking and repugnant,” Mr. Kucinich said in a statement. “This is obviously a political decision, not a legal one. As such, this is directly on President Biden.” Mr. Kennedy’s request is neither unprecedented nor unreasonable. It is also understandable given the historical circumstances. Political considerations are a distraction in this case. The Biden administration should reverse course and provide Mr. Kennedy with Secret Service protection. Read the full article here.

Kennedy, Jr. continued the New Hampshire tradition of retail politics as he met with Coos County residents Monday to explain why he is running for national office. Rebuilding the middle class of America, questioning the nation’s spending on military ventures including aid to Ukraine and detrimental environmental practices as they affect people’s well-being were among the topics he addressed to roughly 50 people seated on folding chairs on a rainy afternoon inside the Fraternal Order of Eagles club in downtown Berlin. Kennedy, 69, also explained why he is running as a Democrat and not as a third-party candidate as one audience member asked him.

Breitbart reports: “The reason for strong border control is not xenophobia, bigotry, or hate,” Kennedy tweeted on August 7. “The reason is humanitarian conscience … Ruthless criminal cartels have woven drugs, immigration, and human trafficking together into a multibillion-dollar business,” he added.
