Republican Vice Presidential Candidate J.D. Vance questions the left's collective outrage over Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein's inclusion on the November ballot, while also calling out former third-party candidate Dr. Jill Stein. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appears to want the opposite.
“Jill Stein's story is interesting. Democrats will attack They're trying to keep Bobby Kennedy on the ballot while supporting Jill Stein, even though Bobby Kennedy already supported Donald J. Trump.” Vance said at a rally in Wisconsin this week.
In 2016, Mr. Stein was called a “spoiler” for Hillary Clinton after his vote totals exceeded Democratic deficits in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan.
“I think Democrats should look in the mirror if they're worried about spoilers, because Bobby Kennedy has far more support than Jill Stein, and Democrats are trying to keep him out of the race.” Ballots,” Vance said.
The Ohio senator quipped that the best person to vote for in November remains Mr. Trump, and that “the second best person to vote for is someone not named Kamala Harris.”
Before Kennedy endorsed Trump, Democrats themselves had filed multiple lawsuits to remove him from the ballot, and since leaving office, they have filed multiple lawsuits to remove his name from the ballot. A lawsuit is being filed in the state.

That attitude appears to have changed after Kennedy's campaign ended.
Spokesperson for progressive PAC MoveOn told Politico Kennedy said that “at the direction of Trump and MAGA,” they are “fabricating a scenario that will disrupt the vote counting process in multiple states.”
Stein, a doctor from Fall River, Massachusetts, ran for president as a Green Party candidate in 2012, 2016 and 2024. The party nominated self-proclaimed “eco-socialist” Howie Hawkins III in 2020.
Mr. Stein has recently come under fire for running a bizarre candidacy in a race that is once again as close as it was in 2016.
In September, the Democratic National Committee denounced Stein as Russia's “useful idiot,” similar to how Clinton called former Hawaii Republican Rep. Tulsi Gabbard a Kremlin kingpin.
According to an anti-Trump conservative publication:bulwark,“The 'useful idiot' rant was the first time Democrats have prominently mentioned Stein since 2023.
A DNC spokesperson told the outlet that Stein “has a pet parrot.”[ed] Kremlin key points [was] “In 2016, it was backed by villains,” and “we're doing it again.”

Stein told Fox News Digital on Thursday that the Democrats' smear campaign is the best publicity we can ask for.
“Ever since DNC Chair Jamie Harrison attacked us on Twitter, AOC lectured us on Instagram, and Democratic operative Angela Rye tried to ambush us at the Breakfast Club, their attacks The dog has opened the door for us, and just the other day, the DNC was exposed. [talk show host] Tavis Smiley asked me a series of aggressive questions that he wanted me to try on the show. ”
Stein said Harris could regain her support base by promising to “end the genocide now with an arms embargo on Israel.”
“But clearly she would rather kill Palestinian children than win an election. No matter how many lies and slander she tells, the simple fact that Americans are condemning this bipartisan massacre” We can't hide from the truth,” Stein said.
Fox News Digital reached out to the DNC for comment but did not receive a response by press time.
