Kyle Kuzma praised Robert F. Kennedy Jr. after he endorsed Donald Trump for the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election.
Kuzma’s Conservative Views
Kuzma, 29, has been sharing his conservative opinions on X lately. On July 22, he posted about threats to democracy and questioned why one party didn’t let their members vote for a nominee. Then, on Wednesday night, he criticized the Democratic National Convention with a post saying, โDNC just wanted caps and laugh lol sick world man.โ
In response to Kennedy Jr.’s appearance at Trump’s rally in Phoenix on Friday, Kuzma tweeted that Kennedy would have made more sense as a running mate than JD Vance because Vance gives him “incredible strange vibes.”
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Speech
Kennedy Jr., 70, explained why he left the Democratic Party and is now supporting Trump: โThese are the principal causes that persuaded me to leave the Democratic Party and run as an independent, and now to throw my support to President Trump.โ He expressed concerns over censorship by media companies under government pressure.
Kennedy emphasized that when a U.S. President forces media companies to censor political speech, it attacks free expressionโa fundamental right upon which all other constitutional rights depend.
Reasons for Dropping Out
The Associated Press reported that Kennedy cited issues like free speech, the war in Ukraine, and what he calls โa war on our childrenโ as reasons for attempting to remove his name from ballots in swing states.
After hearing Kennedy’s speech, Kuzma tweeted again: โDamn. Interesting to hear this from someone with a lifelong perspective & family heritage!โ This shows how much fans value different perspectives.
Kennedy mentioned recent discussions with Trump about forming what he called a “unity party,” allowing them to disagree both publicly and privately while maintaining serious dialogue.
Additionally, there were hints of Trump offering Kennedy a job if he returns to office; however, no details were provided by either side according to AP reports.
Kuzma’s Reaction from Fans
Kuzma received mixed reactions from fans regarding his political posts on Xโsome supported him while others criticized him.
