A representative from former President Donald Trump referred to independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a “leftie loonie” after he claimed Trump asked him to be his running mate.
Kennedy’s assertion was made Monday with a post on X, formerly Twitter.
“President Trump calls me an ultra-left radical. I’m soooo liberal that his emissaries asked me to be his VP. I respectfully declined the offer,” Kennedy wrote. “I am against President Trump, and President Biden can’t win.”
“Judging by his new website, it looks like President Trump knows who actually can beat him,” Kennedy said.
The HuffPost reported Kennedy’s post was to Trump writing on Truth Social that Kennedy was a better option for Democrats than incumbent President Joe Biden.
When asked about this possible pairing, Trump campaign adviser Chris LaCivita dismissed the post, saying: “Your a leftie loonie that would never be approached to be on the ticket..sorry!”
