RFK Jr. says Biden DHS illegally refuses to provide him with Secret Service protection!
WASHINGTON (PNN) - July 29, 2023 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., whose father was assassinated on the presidential campaign trail in 1968, says the illegitimate fascist pretender Joe Biden criminal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has illegally denied his request for Secret Service protection.
"Since the assassination of my father in 1968, candidates for president are provided Secret Service protection. But not me," Kennedy tweeted.
"Our campaign’s request included a 67-page report from the world’s leading protection firm, detailing unique and well-established security and safety risks aside from commonplace death threats."
A misleading community note was added to the tweet, which suggests that candidates will only be protected within 120 days of the general election.
However, the actual text of the law makes clear that the 120-day guidance is only for spouses.
"Major Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates and, within 120 days of the general presidential election, the spouses of such candidates."
Punctuation matters.
The law authorizes Secret Service protection for major presidential and vice-presidential candidates and their spouses within 120 days of the general presidential election. However, the evolution of the protective detail is based upon actual threats and acts of aggression against both the highest public office in the land and those who seek the position.
History shows there is precedent for candidates receiving protection more than 120 days ahead of the general election.
Donald Trump and Ben Carson were provided Secret Service protection 365 days before Election Day in 2015
Barack Obama was provided Secret Service protection 551 days before Election Day in 2007.
RFK Jr. is within the time range of the precedent set by the candidates above (465 days from Election Day) and is arguably under even greater threat given the Kennedy family’s tragic history of assassinations.
The Secretary of Homeland Security (criminal DHS pretender Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas) has the discretion and the ability to approve or deny Secret Service coverage to presidential candidates at any point in the campaign.
Given that the illegitimate fascist pretender Joe Biden regime began to censor RFK Jr. within days of getting into the White House and is continuing that censorship even through last week’s censorship hearing, it is not surprising that a criminal Biden appointee has denied a political opponent's request for Secret Service protection.
