Robert F. Kennedy Jr.:

Well, you would have to ask them. Why don't you have them on this show, and you can ask them why they said that.

My understanding is that — and this is, I think, one of the problems is with the Democratic Party right now — is that nobody is saying about President Biden that we want him for president because he is going to give us a vigorous leadership, that he has the energy, that he has the cognitive ability, that he has the vision to inspire Americans.

Instead, what they're saying is, you have got to vote for him, despite all of the defects that are clear to everybody, because, if you don't vote for him, somebody worse is going to get in there. And that's what they mean by the word dangerous.

I think that the Democratic Party has to offer Americans a better, more positive vision for this country than just, do what we say, or President Trump is going to endanger our democracy. We should be able to do more than that. We should be able to inspire people. And I think that's why so many young people and independents are supporting me, because they're tired of the fear tactics.

They're tired of being manipulated through orchestrated fear. And they want something to inspire them.
