A super PAC supporting former President Donald Trump set up a mobile billboard on Friday attacking his 2024 presidential rival, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is scheduled to speak at the Libertarian Party Convention in Washington, D.C.
“Make America Great Again Inc.” signs will be on display outside the Washington Hilton convention site from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and slam Kennedy as an “extremist” rather than a libertarian.
The billboard ads include support for compensation for a 70-year-old man, a call for a ban on “assault rifles,” Income tax rate: 70%his Supporting a ban on fracking And he supports the Green New Deal.
“RFK Jr. must be confused. He’s at a Libertarian convention this weekend instead of a socialist convention where his policies of gun control, high taxes and attacks on fossil fuels are welcomed. President Trump is the only candidate who will keep taxes low, protect gun rights and embrace American energy,” MAGA Inc. spokesman Alex Pfeiffer told The Post.
Kennedy’s appeal to libertarian voters will come a day before Trump, 77, is scheduled to address the same crowd.
The attacks by Trump’s allies come as RFK Jr. continues to enjoy the highest approval ratings among third-party candidates in the 2024 presidential race, averaging about 10 percent support, according to data from RealClearPolitics.
Recent Marquette University Law School Poll Kennedy has a strong approval rating of 17%, enough support to join a debate between President Trump and President Biden if the two candidates agree to it.
The Kennedy campaign did not immediately respond to The Washington Post’s inquiries.
