Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are quaking in their boots. They didn’t think RFK would endorse Trump.
And now Joe Biden has retaliated against the Trump-RFK alliance with a shocking Secret Service order.
It has been confirmed, according to internal Secret Service documents obtained by reporters, that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is going to be losing his Secret Service protection and detail now that he is suspending his campaign for President in a majority of states, choosing to remove himself from swing state ballots.
The news was first made public by the press secretary for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Stefanie Spear, sharing on CBS this weekend that to their knowledge Mr. Kennedy “no longer” had “USSS protection.” His announcement that he was partially suspending his campaign and choosing to endorse Donald Trump came on Friday. So this developed in a matter of 24 hours.
On Sunday, a Secret Service employee, Mr. Anthony Guglielmi who serves as the Chief of Communication, confirmed with reporters that Kennedy was no longer a “client” or a “protectee” they were worried about. “Mr. Kennedy is no longer a protectee of the US Secret Service,” the Secret Service Chief of Communication said.
BREAKING: Secret Service to no longer provide security for RFK Jr.
This is absolutely pathetic!
Protect this man!

For much of his campaign, Mr. Kennedy complained that the Secret Service was denying him detail and protection even though he was a major candidate for office who was securing ballot access all over the nation. He wasn’t just a write-in candidate who was going to secure less than 1% of the vote.
The decision to give him protection came right after Donald Trump survived a shocking assassination attempt on July 13, which ended up tragically taking the life of an innocent Trump supporter and rally attendee.
Alejandro Mayorkas had announced and confirmed on July 15 that they were going to be giving Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Secret Service detail because of the political atmosphere that many agreed was getting hotter by the day. It was far too dangerous to leave RFK without Secret Service detail, especially considering his family background.
You’ll of course remember that Robert F. Kennedy Sr. was assassinated, as was RFK’s uncle and U.S. President, John F. Kennedy. The Kennedy family has suffered many tragedies due to political violence. It’s not far-fetched to believe some wack-job out there could plan to make another example out of RFK Jr.
Mayorkas, in his approval of RFK Jr. receiving Secret Service detail, had said that we are in a “heightened” threat environment, and said that the threats need to be taken seriously. He also noted that Joe Biden, or someone in his office, directed Mayorkas to provide protection for RFK Jr.
“We are in a heightened and very dynamic threat environment. The United States’ Secret Service, we — including the FBI and our other partners across the federal government — take the threats very seriously and adjust security measures as warranted, maintaining the safety and security of the president, the former president in their campaign events is one our most vital priorities,” Mr. Mayorkas had written back in July.
“In light of the weekend’s events, the president has directed me to work with the Secret Service to provide protection for Robert Kennedy Jr,” he added.
Now, just a month later, they are revoking that Secret Service detail. This is interesting for two major reasons, and the Joe Biden administration should have to answer some questions about this decision.
Firstly, are we no longer in a “heightened” threat environment? Is it not true that there’s still plenty of credible threats being lobbed at Donald Trump, RFK, and Kamala Harris on the daily? Any one who argues otherwise likely isn’t paying attention or is playing political games.
The reports are that Iran is still seeking to take out Donald Trump. That’s why they’ve had to give Donald Trump bullet-proof glass barriers when he is speaking at an outside rally. How is it that there’s not a concern for RFK anymore when he’s now closely aligned with the Trump campaign? That’s asinine.

Evidently SS did beef up security due to threat.
It doesn’t appear to be related to Saturday’s event, but if security was beefed up, Saturday shouldn’t have happened. pic.twitter.com/GUliwDID1r— SweetPeaBelle (@SweetPeaBell326) July 16, 2024
Secondly, it’s interesting to note that the Joe Biden immediate office made the direction for Mayorkas to give RFK Jr. protection in the first place. Are they also the ones who decided to remove protection detail?
It seems reasonable that the Secret Service should provide RFK Jr. Secret Service detail through the remainder of the year, at least. He’s still a high-profile individual who is facing millions of threats online, some of which have the chance of being very credible.
This is smells like political games on the part of the Biden-Harris administration.
Stay tuned to the DC Daily Journal.
