RFK Jr.’s Running Mate Blisters Kamala, Democratic Party, Praises Trump

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate, Nicole Shanahan, blistered Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, and the Democratic party, savaging Harris for talking about “price-gouging” in the food industry and ripping the party for trying to remove the Kennedy team from the presidential race.

Shanahan spoke with Chris Cuomo on “NewsNation.”

“I can tell you, Democrats, even though they’ve raised less from their top ten donors, they’ve put an enormous amount of money compared to take out third parties; PACs specifically designed to take them out,” Shanahan told Cuomo. “We haven’t had any of that from the Republican Party, and that has been a real learning experience for us. Could have never expected it, anticipated it, but it had a really big impact on me.”

She lauded former President Donald Trump, saying, “What we did on Friday was amazing because we crossed the chasm; we found somebody who was willing to put these ideas on center stage; millions of people for the first time, heard Bobby’s voice.”

Cuomo raised several issues on which he thought the Kennedy team and Trump might disagree, then said, “What guarantee do you have of any power over these issues in the administration, and two, why are you, who’s known for being a savvy person, so quick to trust that Donald Trump will deliver on what he says?”

“To answer your second question first, look: where we are right now, is we have taken a year —  Bobby has been running for over a year,” Shanahan responded. “We have crossed this nation; we have talked to Americans; we have met people from all ends of the political spectrum, which is what you should be doing if you are running for a representative office.”

“100%,” Cuomo agreed.

“You should be out there listening,” Shanahan continued. “And our job is to bring that voice to whomever is going to be sincere in their reception to hearing the American public, where they’re hurting; what is going on. I mean, farmers. Farmers are so underrepresented right now. And this is why I brought up some of my criticisms of Kamala Harris’ food cap economic policy, food price capping.”

On August 16, Harris told a North Carolina crowd, “I will work to pass the first-ever federal ban on price gouging on food.”

“Farmers are on their knees in this country right now,” Shanahan declared. “They are not ‘price gouging.’ To say that our farmers are ‘price gouging’ when they are already on their knees; who can I take that message to today? You tell me, Chris.”

“Yeah, that’s a fair criticism,” Cuomo admitted.

“Who’s gonna listen to me? Cause I have taken this message for years to the Democratic Party, and I cannot get through to anybody,” Shanahan said. “It’s not like this has happened overnight. I didn’t wake up one morning and say, ‘What a great idea it would be to leave the Democratic Party.’ No. I tried everything, everything, in my capability to get through to someone who would listen and hear this actual science, to hear the people on the ground, to listen to American voices.”

“And we’ve gotta judge people by their reactions; we’ve gotta judge people by the people around them and, right now, Trump has some really good people around him, and he’s willing, he’s more than willing to listen,” she asserted. “He wants to listen, understand, verify, and then say, ‘All right, who’s going to help me get this done?’ And Bobby has been right up there next to him being like, ‘I will get this done with you.’”

Robert Kennedy Jr.’s running mate, Nicole Shanahan, goes scorched-earth on the Democratic Party upon Chris Cuomo asking her why she is trusting former President Trump.
