(LifeSiteNews) — Medical freedom advocate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. criticized the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) decision to place South Carolina ahead of New Hampshire in the 2024 primary elections, a move he says is meant to aid President Joe Biden. He also criticized his party for refusing to hold primary debates.
South Carolina moved ahead of New Hampshire because of its black constituency, at the request of the incumbent Biden, who is expected to fare better in the southern state.
The new primary schedule “puts black voters at the front of the process in South Carolina. It keeps Nevada, where Latinos have been building power… and it adds Michigan, the heartland, where unions built the middle class of this nation. And Georgia, the forefront of the new south,” DNC Chair Jaime Harrison told NBC News.
But Kennedy sees this as a way to protect Biden while hurting other candidates who would benefit from the lower cost of campaigning in a small state like New Hampshire. He also noted that the state has a bloc of independent voters who might be more open to an outsider candidate.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has disgraced his office by weaponizing his position to attack former President Donald Trump. Mr. Trump’s arraignment represents another example of how the justice system is being abused by those in power to quash dissent and silence one of their biggest critics ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
SIGN this petition to Alvin Bragg condemning his blatant weaponization of the justice system against former President Trump.
Much like when the FBI raided Trump’s home in Florida, this arraignment is sending another clear message that anyone who holds a dissenting political position can be targeted by the Deep State.
The charges against Trump were brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who previously boasted about filing over a hundred lawsuits against Trump while serving in the New York Attorney General’s office, and reportedly received $1 million in campaign contributions from the Color of Change PAC, a leftist advocacy group funded by prominent left-wing mega donor George Soros.
SIGN: Tell Soros-backed DA that Mr. Trump must not be jailed!
The embattled former president was arraigned after a Manhattan grand jury voted to indict him on charges related to the improper filing of alleged hush money paid to pornography “actress” Stephanie Clifford during his 2016 presidential campaign. The former president has denied that any affair took place.
Trump insists that the attempt to jail him is politically-motivated and proves that the United States under the leadership of radical leftists has become like a third-world country.
Republican Rep. Jim Jordan, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, has also penned a letter to Bragg demanding answers regarding what he termed an “unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority,” arguing the charges were only being brought against Trump in what is now an old case because of his presidential candidacy.
According to Jordan, the available facts suggest that Bragg’s prosecution of Trump is “motivated by political calculations,” thus requiring “congressional scrutiny.”
Jordan’s letter came after GOP House Speaker Kevin McCarthy called Trump’s then-impending indictment “an outrageous abuse of power”, going on to blast Bragg as “a radical DA who lets violent criminals walk as he pursues political vengeance against President Trump.”
McCarthy also promised to stand up congressional committees to investigate whether federal dollars were used to “subvert our democracy by interfering in elections with politically motivated prosecutions.”
SIGN: Stop politically motivated prosecutions from ruining the American justice system
Please SHARE this petition with as many people as possible.

“The DNC, at this point, has taken the official position that there will be no debate, and I think that’s unfortunate… I think what the DNC did to New Hampshire is also unfortunate,” Kennedy, the nephew of President John F. Kennedy and the son of former Attorney General Robert Kennedy, told Breitbart on Sunday.
“President Biden didn’t do well there [New Hampshire]; he came in fifth. So they took New Hampshire, and they kicked it out of first place,” he said. “And now they’re gonna say – they’re saying that they’re going to completely remove the delegates from New Hampshire, and that, we should be at this point in history.”
“It’s very cheap to campaign in,” Kennedy said. “And it has the largest independent bloc in the country. And people [don’t] make their minds up until they see the candidates again and again and again, and they shake the candidate’s hands five times before deciding who to vote for.”
“When you have so many Americans who are concerned about election integrity, we should be doing everything we can in our party [Democrat Party] to show that, you know, this is not rigged, rigged system,” he said. “That it is actually democracy… people can run and that they can get to debate and that the public is gonna be able to see them, and they’re [the DNC] doing kind of the opposite.”
Kennedy’s campaign could attract attention from independents and Republicans who remain skeptical of the safety and efficacy of vaccines.
He is a longtime environmental activist and medical freedom leader, as well as founder of the group Children’s Health Defense, which gained prominence in recent years due to the ongoing controversy of the COVID-19 vaccines.
As LifeSiteNews previously reported:
On his campaign website, Kennedy pledges to ‘make government transparent,’ protect whistleblowers, ‘rein in the lobbyists and slam shut the revolving door that shunts people from government agencies to lucrative positions in the companies they were supposed to regulate,’ get ‘money out of politics,’ ‘heal the divide between Left and Right,’ ‘repair the damage caused by centuries of bigotry’ through a ‘program of Targeted Community Repair’ based on ‘not guilt for the sins of one’s ancestors, but rather compassion,’ ‘incentivize the transition of industry to zero-waste cycles and clean energy sources,’ ‘rebuild the industrial infrastructure’ and ‘support labor in reclaiming its fair share of American prosperity,’ end U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts, ‘dismantle the censorship-industrial complex,’ ‘transition prisons away from a punishment paradigm to a rehabilitation paradigm,’ ‘transform the police’ with retraining to emphasize ‘de-escalation and mediation,’ and more.
While some of his positions may seem tenable to Republicans, others put him at odds with conservative voters. For example, he has said in the past that he favored legal abortion, opposes repealing Obamacare, and supported the redefinition of marriage to include same-sex unions, as previously reported by LifeSiteNews.
The other 2024 declared Democratic primary candidate is author and New Age devotee Marianne Williamson.
