In Nevada, a swing state for the US presidential election, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s supporters seem unfazed by his reported sexting scandal. This is good news for Donald Trump, whom Kennedy supports. Despite allegations involving a seamy sexting relationship with New York magazine’s Olivia Nuzzi, local residents in Nevada appear more focused on Kennedy’s political work and support of the president. Retired Judge Charles Weinberg dismissed the scandal as false information, while others expressed concern about other politicians’ private lives and questioned their own motives.
The event at which RFK Jr. was present – a Trump-sponsored “Restore America” rally in Las Vegas – saw a standing-room-only crowd who either didn’t know or didn’t care about the allegations surrounding him. Many expressed support for his efforts to help Trump form a unity party, while others dismissed the scandal as a joke and maintained that personal lives should remain private.
Despite the scandal, Kennedy did not address it at the event and even wore his wedding ring, a move that some interpreted as a sign of commitment despite allegations otherwise. Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who appeared with him at the rally, brushed off the scandal as a distraction intended to derail Trump’s election campaign.
The elitist, permanent Washington establishment, the military-industrial complex, the national security state, this whole cabal of the power elite are so terrified of President Trump winning this election that they will continue to do what they have been doing for years and throw everything they possibly can at it,” she said. I know that Bobby Kennedy is focused, as I am, on saving our country.
In this crucial swing state, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s supporters remain steadfast in their allegiance, seemingly unperturbed by the scandal surrounding him. This bodes well for Trump’s campaign and his bid to secure the Nevada vote come November.
