Sunday Schadenfreude: Democrats go bonkers over RFK's decision to back Trump

 This shows the Stinking Garbage in the Democrat Media

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. had been dismissed by Democrats as a fringe candidate, too insignificant to merit a slot at the presidential debates, have a place on many state ballots, or even get Secret Service protection, all because he was so, so, so unimportant.

But after he decided to suspend his presidential campaign, remove his name from swing state ballots, and endorse President Trump, things got a little different.

Their crazy response can only tell us that maybe he wasn't so insignificant to them after all. The mask was off, and they were caught with their pants down.

Oh, it's not as if they didn't try, though. The first leftist responses were to assure other leftists that there was nothing to this:

According to the Washington Examiner:

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) told the Washington Examiner Thursday morning that a Trump-RFK endorsement wouldn’t kill the vice president’s momentum and that Democrats are already putting in work to win over independent and undecided voters.

“I think that the convention has a lot of excitement and energy, and this is going to be a very close race, and we still have to make the case to all the voters, every voter,” he said in an interview following remarks delivered at the Wisconsin Democratic delegation’s breakfast. “Endorsements usually don’t decide races. We have to work to win those independent voters.”

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) agreed that Kennedy backing Trump would not affect Harris, joking to the Washington Examiner that “it just perfects the formation of the Insane Clown Posse party.”

Basil Smikle, a political expert and the former executive director of the New York Democratic Party, said he already viewed Kennedy voters as Trump voters “more or less.”

“I think it adds maybe a handful of voters to the Trump campaign, but I don’t think it makes a significant impact,” noting that Kennedy might actually hurt Trump as a surrogate because he “comes with his own controversies.”

“The one thing Donald Trump doesn’t want is to take attention away from himself by having to answer for somebody who’s endorsed him,” he told the Washington Examiner.

The New York Times called it a nothingburger, too, but the signs of panic were showing:

That fell apart and then they cranked up the censorship machine, trying to repress the news of Kennedy's switch itself:

It still didn't work, so then the long knives came out, starting with a few prominent members of Kennedy's family putting politics above family values:

Aside: Notice that Dial-Joe-4-Oil isn't on it. Joe Kennedy didn't sign, and the nasty article below says that Joe was Bobby's roommate in college, so they may be close, or Joe has more class than the others than to publicly insult his brother over mere politics. If so, one kudo to Joe.

Meanwhile, the press carried the football, too, digging up old dead cats from Kennedy's past, even though the barn door of outrage had been left open years ago:

Some relinked this old nasty piece from Vanity Fair, too, as if it were brand new.

Not being able to get to him, they went after his wife:

Curb Your Enthusiasm star Cheryl Hines took more heat for her husband Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s decisions on Friday, after Kennedy bowed out of the presidential race and endorsed Donald Trump.

But her husband feels very differently about the former president, who he endorsed Trump as he blamed the media for his inability to gain traction in White House race.

After he broke the news, Hines took to X/Twitter to express her “heartfelt” thanks to everyone who “so tirelessly and lovingly on his campaign”—and X users are taking the opportunity to troll her for her husband’s move.

They whimpered that Kennedy didn't love them and didn't want to talk to them, which, though he had good reason not to, wasn't even true:

And as the last resort, they put up billboards, calling him -- are you ready -- 'weird.'

All an intelligent observer could think is that it must have resembled this satire of Hitler panicking behind Democrat closed doors.

It's funny, because they are panicking.

Couldn't happen to a nicer nest of vicious, two-faced political vipers.

Schadenfreude much?
