RFK Jr’s lackluster performance at the Libertarian convention

Robert F Kennedy Jr faced a chaotic start to his speech at the Libertarian Party’s national convention in Washington DC, as attendees began running for the exits before he even took the stage. The delay in his appearance, coupled with news of a major vote downstairs, led to confusion and a mass exodus from the room.

When Kennedy finally began his speech, he wasted no time in addressing his audience of skeptics towards federal power. He criticized the alleged violations of the Constitution during the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly targeting the former president for his handling of the crisis.

Kennedy’s passionate speech resonated with some attendees, who praised his stance on issues like the Second Amendment and his support for Julian Assange. However, others remained skeptical of his chances in the election, citing the need for significant financial support and organizational efforts.

The contrast between Kennedy’s supporters and the more critical members of the Libertarian Party was evident throughout the convention. Some attendees expressed frustration at the party’s decision to invite non-libertarian speakers like Kennedy and Donald Trump, the presumed 2024 Republican nominee.

As Trump prepares to address the Libertarians on Saturday, the party faces a dilemma in balancing the expectations of its diverse membership. Trump’s speech will undoubtedly make history, presenting a challenge for Joe Biden and his campaign as they navigate the complexities of the upcoming election.
