Wednesday News Round Up – RFK Jr. Challenges President Biden to Debate to Prove He Is Capable of Serving Four More Years

The debate around the Super Bowl ad continues:

AV24 Responds to DNC attempt to keep RFK Jr. off the ballot:
In a statement released after the Super Bowl ad, American Values 2024 cofounder Mark Gorton criticized the DNC for its efforts targeting Kennedy: “The only argument the DNC has left is that Biden is not Trump. When RFK Jr. gets on the ballot, the American public will have the ability to choose a candidate who is not Trump, who has integrity, bravery, a proven track record of fighting corporate corruption, and the ability to stand up to the corporate interests that have taken over the Biden administration. The American people are waking up, and the DNC’s only hope is to prevent them from having a choice.” – DNC heightens attacks on RFK Jr. as a spoiler candidate who will help Trump | CNN Politics
Mark Gorton: “The DNC is basically a collection of super PACs itself.” – Democrats will ‘break all the rules’ to keep RFK Jr. off 2024 ballot: Mark Gorton | Fox Business Video.
Mr. Gorton noted that the DNC is filing complaints against American Values 2024 to force the organization – and the Kennedy Campaign – to spend money on legal fees. Gorton connected this strategy to the Biden administration’s refusal to provide Secret Service protection to RFK Jr.

Backing up Mr. Gorton’s assertion about the Biden team’s strategy is news that emerged late Tuesday evening about impeached Secretary of Homeland Security Mayorkas, who was called out by Judicial Watch for deciding to refuse the Kennedy campaign’s request for Secret Service protection – “It is simply despicable that Secretary Mayorkas refused needed Secret Service protection for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,” said Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton. “That it took a federal FOIA lawsuit to force out this information speaks volumes.” – Judicial Watch: DHS Secretary Mayorkas Personally Declined Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Request for Secret Service Protection | Judicial Watch.
What have the DNC and RNC provided to the electorate? The Hill’s Douglas Schoen and Saul Mangel say the loud part out loud: “Making matters worse, for both Biden and Trump, is that neither is capable of effectively talking to voters, aside from their most loyal base.” – Voters are increasingly wary of America’s two unelectable candidates | The Hill.

Is there any reason to think that the DNC will not be successful in keeping him off the ballot?
The debate has zero chances of happening, we know that. Dems have been outed, thinking Dems have gotten off the plantation. The rest will crash and burn.
I will have nothing to do with the "Democratic" party until they learn some respect for democracy.
