RFK Jr campaign aide revealed as attendee of Jan 6 'Stop the Steal' rally for Trump

3 hours ago


A campaign aide for independent presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr has been revealed as an attendee of the infamous “Stop the Steal” rally on January 6 2021 in support of Donald Trump.

Rita Palma, who is an aide for RFK Jr’s campaign in New York, called Mr Trump her “favorite president,” and attended several “Stop the Steal” rallies following the 2020 election, according to now deleted tweets sent from Ms Palma’s account seen by CNN, as well as comments she posted on the conservative social media site Parler that have since been made private.

According to CNN, in late December, Ms Palma tweeted that she would attend the “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington DC on January 6. “I got my hotel room!,” she wrote, adding: “I’ll be there in Jan 6th #FightforTrump #Jan6.” Although Ms Palma allegedly attended the January 6 rally, there is no indication that she took part in any violence or attended the Capitol riot that followed, CNN reported.

However, she later dismissed the violence during the Capitol riot as the work of a few attendees. “Jan 6 was not a riot. A small group of people were trouble. It was 99.9 peaceful, respectful. I was there,” she wrote in a deleted tweet.

3. I heard as long as you did not go into the capital, you possibly didn't get arrested.

and sentenced to the appropriate (sometimes not long enough) sentences. Bit by bit, they are finding these scumbags. I hope for the rest of their sick lives, these people who hurt cops and such, on 1/6 will always be looking over their shoulders for the rest of their lives. They ruined their lives for a scumbag.

But those are the people who "Bob" is taking up for and "attracting" by publicly reaching out to them (and then feigning to "take it back" )... just like his benefactor 45 does (whose voters he will cannibalize).

But those J6 people are not Biden voters.
