<p>Legacy media outlets are sounding the alarm over long-shot Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.&#8217;s &#8220;right-wing ideas.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kennedy, the nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/robert-kennedy-jr-formally-announces-2024-presidential-campaign-vows-to-end-the-corrupt-merger-of-state-and-corporate-power" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> his 2024 presidential campaign in April.</p>
<p>Since then, he has polled surprisingly strongly and currently has double-digit support, alarming Democrats who expect President Biden to easily clinch the party&#8217;s nomination for a second term.</p>
<p>Kennedy currently polls at 20% support, according to a recent CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/05/tech/elon-musk-robert-f-kennedy-jr-twitter-spaces/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">poll</a>. RealClearPolitics&#8217; <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2024/president/us/24_democratic_presidential_nomination-8171.html#polls" target="_blank" rel="noopener">average</a> of polls puts him at just under 17% support, while Biden is at 42.5%.</p>
<p>On Monday, Kennedy joined Twitter chief Elon Musk in a Twitter Space audio discussion about his presidential bid.</p>
<p>The discussion, dubbed “Reclaiming Democracy,” lasted more than two hours and featured other participants, including former Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, who <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lfs0wNheJAs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">left</a> the Democratic Party last year, and David Sacks, a top donor to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is running for the Republican 2024 nomination.</p>
<p>&#8220;On Monday, he sounded like a candidate far more at ease in the mushrooming Republican presidential contest,&#8221; The New York Times wrote Monday in a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/05/us/politics/robert-f-kennedy-jr-twitter-2024.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">piece</a> warning that Kennedy &#8220;pushes right-wing ideas and misinformation.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kennedy on Monday &#8220;dived into the full embrace of a host of conservative figures,&#8221; the Times said.</p>
<p>Kennedy has been a vaccine skeptic since long before the pandemic, and he voiced concerns about the COVID vaccine starting in 2020. Kennedy <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/01/25/robert-kennedy-anne-frank-remarks-00002055" target="_blank" rel="noopener">apologized</a> in early 2022 for referencing Adolf Hitler and Holocaust victim Anne Frank at an anti-vaccine rally. He also made headlines last year when he accused Dr. Anthony Fauci of orchestrating “fascism.”</p>
<p>&#8220;Have Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and His Anti-vax Conspiracies Found a Home?&#8221; Vanity Fair <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/06/robert-f-kennedy-jr-his-anti-vax-conspiracies-found-home-twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asked</a> Monday.</p>
<p>CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/05/tech/elon-musk-robert-f-kennedy-jr-twitter-spaces/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> Monday that &#8220;as a marginal candidate who espouses debunked medical claims, Kennedy and his appearance with Musk could further cement the perception that Twitter actively mainstreams extremism.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kennedy <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/rfk-jr-comes-against-gun-010344709.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">promised</a> during the Twitter space that he is &#8220;not going to take away anybody’s guns.&#8221; He <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/05/us/politics/robert-f-kennedy-jr-twitter-2024.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suggested</a> that psychiatric drugs may be linked to school shootings.</p>
<p>Kennedy also plans to travel to the southern border this week to &#8220;try to formulate policies that will seal the border permanently.&#8221;</p>
<p>POLITICO <a href="https://www.politico.com/newsletters/playbook/2023/06/06/what-do-you-do-with-a-problem-like-rfk-jr-00100344" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scratched its head</a> trying to figure out why Kennedy is polling in the double digits. The Kennedy name &#8220;still means something&#8221; in Democratic politics, the outlet said. Also, some voters have &#8220;qualms&#8221; about a second Biden term, and &#8220;eyes can wander early on&#8221; in a Democratic primary.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, Kennedy is an &#8220;annoyance&#8221; for Biden and &#8220;potentially dangerous.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Besides using his legendary name and a national campaign megaphone to espouse fringe views, his outsize polling performance has served as a routine reminder of Biden’s vulnerabilities among his base,&#8221; POLITICO said.</p>
<p>Kennedy &#8220;<span data-qa="headline-text">tests the conspiratorial appetite of Democrats,&#8221; the Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/06/05/rfk-jr-democratic-primary-biden/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declared</a> Monday.</span></p>
<p><b data-stringify-type="bold"><a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-43506">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a></b></p>
<p>Kennedy praised Musk, calling his arrival at Twitter &#8220;a breath of fresh air for our country.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who are censoring free speech were the good guys. They&#8217;re always the bad guys. It&#8217;s always the first step toward totalitarianism,&#8221; Kennedy <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2023/06/06/robert_f_kennedy_jr_praises_elon_musk_twitter_takeover_breath_of_fresh_air_for_american_democracy.html?utm_source=gotchosen&amp;utm_medium=carousel&amp;utm_term=post-id-374055" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.</p>
<p>Kennedy received a surprise endorsement Sunday from former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, who <a href="https://twitter.com/jack/status/1665460519719895042?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a> that Kennedy “can and will” defeat former President Donald Trump and DeSantis in 2024.</p>
<p>Also on Sunday, Instagram lifted the suspension on Kennedy&#8217;s account. Kennedy was banned from Instagram back in 2021 &#8220;for repeatedly sharing debunked claims about the coronavirus or vaccines,&#8221; Facebook, which owns Instagram, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/10/tech/robert-kennedy-jr-instagram-ban/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> at the time.</p>
