If you thought 2024 couldn’t get any crazier, it just did. Who knows what could happen after this.
Because a disqualifying video of this presidential candidate surfaced and all hell is breaking loose.
Republicans are blasting independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over a released video in which he claims people in red states are more likely to commit terrible crimes and “murder you.”
In an unearthed video shared on Wednesday by former President Donald Trump’s MAGA War Room X account, RFK Jr. is shown making critical remarks about Republicans during a 2005 IdeaCity speech.
“Red state people are more likely to m*rder you, to impregnate your teenage daughter, to commit a violent crime against you, to commit a nonviolent crime against you, to watch Desperate Housewives on TV, to buy p*rnography, to buy degenerate video games like ‘Grand Theft Auto,'” said RFK Jr. in front of the audience.

Social media users, including some Republican members of Congress, instantly responded to what they described as “divisive attacks.”
“I’m proud to be from the most conservative state in America and represent the best of our country. RFK Jr.’s divisive attacks are disqualifying,” Sen. John Barasso, R-Wyo., wrote in a post on X.
I’m proud to represent one of the reddest districts in Texas.
RFK Jr.’s attacks on red state America are not backed up by facts or reality.
He is unhinged and further left than Bernie Sanders! Texans won’t forget! https://t.co/AgmgjfZOna

“I’m proud to represent one of the reddest districts in Texas. RFK Jr.’s attacks on red state America are not backed up by facts or reality. He is unhinged and further left than Bernie Sanders! Texans won’t forget!” Rep. Lance Gooden, R-Texas, said.
“The Hoosier state is as red as they come,” Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., who is running for the Senate, posted on X.
“Far-left RFK Jr’s baseless, unhinged attacks on the values of Red State America will be remembered in November.”
“RFK is no friend to conservative red states like West Virginia!” Riley Moore, a Republican congressional candidate in West Virginia, declared.
“Stop pretending this guy is a moderate.”
During his speech, RFK Jr. referred to Saturday morning media pundits as “gas bags” and claimed that their opinion about former President George W. Bush winning because red states were “morally robust” opposed to “degenerate” blue states was “not true.”
RFK Jr. went on to say that he looked at red and blue states to determine which was “more moral” by using the criteria “that most of us use to judge morality”
“I found the lowest divorce rate in America was Massachusetts, a blue state. The highest divorce rate was Texas, a red state. The lowest teen pregnancy rate was Massachusetts. The highest was Texas,” RFK Jr. added.
MAGA War Room released the video just days after RFK Jr. challenged GOP nominee Trump to a presidential debate, after the former president referred to the independent as a “Democrat plant.”
RFK Jr. asserted on Wednesday that he, not Biden, is the only candidate capable of defeating Trump in November, citing a fresh internal survey performed by his team, as he declared a “no-spoiler pledge.”
“This is a no-spoiler pledge that we’re announcing today. This is a pledge that I offer to take if President Biden also takes it,” Kennedy said at a news conference where the candidate took no questions from reporters.
