The independent 2024 presidential candidate was among a number of high-profile people who in 2021 were named as passengers on Epstein’s jet, which was often used to transport guests to the financier’s private Caribbean island, Little Saint James.
On Tuesday’s installment of Fox News’ Jesse Watters Primetime, host Jesse Watters said that Senator Dick Durbin, an Illinois Democrat, is blocking the release of flight logs from Epstein’s jet. Several minutes after the discussion, Watters welcomed Kennedy onto his show to discuss unrelated matters.
Kennedy’s recollection stands at odds with an emailed statement shared on his behalf with Newsweek on October 31, in which a spokesperson for the former Democrat stated that he had only “flown one time on Jeffrey Epstein’s private plane.”
“Mr. Kennedy supports the release of Epstein’s business and personal records including unredacted flight logs, which might contribute to the public’s understanding of Mr. Epstein’s sexual abuse of minors and his suspicious death.”
Supporters of Donald Trump, one of Kennedy’s likely 2024 opponents, have also sought to highlight the Epstein scandal to contrast it with the former president’s current legal predicament. In August, for example, MAGA loyalist Kari Lake posted on X, formerly Twitter: “It’s been 3 years, almost to the day, since Jeffrey Epstein ‘killed himself.’ Not a single one of his clients has been indicted for heinous crimes against children. Yet, President Trump was just indicted for the 4th time. Justice is dead in America.”

The right doesn’t seem to have any problem with electing men that sexually assault women. Trump himself has been found liable for it recently, but even before he was elected he admitted to “grabbing them by the …” well, you know.
I don’t see how a candidate that has just evidence suggesting sexual assault is a downside to conservative voters. If anything it might increase RFK Jr’s support among conservatives.
Because the calculation was that RFK would pull more votes from Biden not Trump. They’re seeing that that’s not the case so now he’s a liability that needs to be burned. Not sure why they thought Democrat voters would fall for such an obvious ploy but that is clearly what the goal was.
Thats my point. Former Trump voters that are swayed to RFK Jr won’t be swayed back to Trump because of accusations of sexual assault by RFK Jr. Trump has legal judgements and even personal admissions that he did it and his voters don’t care. Why would they care if RFK Jr has even a fraction of that? How does this burn RFK Jr to former Trump voters?
