RFK Jr., Threatened Again, Sues the Biden Administration

Once again, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has encountered a security threat, and yet again, the Biden administration is refusing to provide the presidential candidate with Secret Service protection, despite multiple requests from Kennedy and his team over several months.

The five-page letter to Mayorkas also includes details and photos regarding the threat to Kennedy last month in Los Angeles, where a man showed up at a side door of a Kennedy campaign event, identified himself as a U.S. Marshal, and immediately demanded that he be taken to see RFK Jr. He was carrying a loaded handgun.

In response, campaign manager Dennis Kucinich wrote an open letter to President Biden that was circulated to the press: "​​Although it is a well-known historical fact, apparently, in your case, it bears repeating: Mr. Kennedy's uncle, President John F. Kennedy, was assassinated.

Mr. Kennedy's father, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, was assassinated while a presidential candidate.

The letter notes the Carter administration providing Secret Service protection to Republican candidates Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Phil Crane, Howard Baker, and John Connally, and even to the potential third-party Democrat challenger, Ted Kennedy, 441 days before the 1980 election, even though Kennedy had not formally declared his candidacy.

Filed with the D.C. District Court with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as the plaintiff, the lawsuit includes Freedom of Information Act requests seeking, "All risk assessment reports by the Secret Service regarding Robert F. Kennedy, Jr." and, "All other communications sent or received regarding any request for protection," including those sent to or received by Alejandro Mayorkas.

Obviously, the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy was a terrible tragedy for this nation, as was the killing of his brother, President John F. Kennedy, five years earlier.
