During an appearance on FNC’s “The Ingraham Angle” on Friday, 2024 independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. criticized President Joe Biden’s speech as “overly partisan.” He said the speech was “politician-like” and failed to unify the country. Country.
But Kennedy also took issue with Biden’s depictions of Russia and Ukraine, calling them “cartoon characterizations.”
“Robert, your response to Biden last night was to take a particularly hard line on Ukraine at the top, and to do everything in his power to overthrow President Putin, Europe is like Hitler,” host Laura Ingraham said. said. “And I’m obviously paraphrasing.”
“Yeah, I mean, I agree with some of the commentators that this speech was very partisan overall,” Kennedy responded. “It’s more like President Biden promised to unify the country when he took office, and this is more like a campaign speech he gives to a red-meat crowd in the final two weeks of a campaign, and it’s more of a personal The State of the Union address you want to see shows pride in our country and the world, rather than the kind of politician-like unification speech from a president that people want to see, the people expect, and the world expects. We want something that will inspire people in our country and around the world. This speech is going to be heard by billions of people around the world, and we’re going to turn it into a kind of partisan slug fest. We want to showcase the best of this country, rather than just trying to do it.”
“When it comes to Ukraine, I — you know, I don’t agree with President Biden’s cartoon characterization,” he continued. “This is a war that needs to be resolved, because we now know from Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan that the peace deal was initiated by both Zelensky and Putin. Putin was withdrawing troops from Kiev when President Biden sent Boris Johnson there to force Zelensky to break the deal. This was not meant to stop Putin from rampaging across Europe. This is a war about NATO expansion into Ukraine, which we should not be fighting. Our greatest diplomats denounced it. However, that was a mistake. ”
“President Biden mentioned one issue that he hadn’t mentioned before, which I was very happy about, and that was the housing crisis in this country, the fact that young people are not able to get into homes,” Kennedy added. Ta. “But I think his solution was probably a cynical solution: a $10,000 gift for the next two years, between now and the election.”
