Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tried to arrange a meeting with Vice President Kamala Harris to secure a place in her administration or a cabinet post in exchange for an endorsement, according to multiple reports.

The Washington Post first reported that Kennedy made the overture through intermediaries, just weeks after he proposed as similar arrangement to former President Donald Trump after the Republican National Convention last month. The pair spoke about the plan, but did not reach an agreement on the matter.

Harris has not responded with an offer to meet and her campaign has expressed no interest to do so, the Post added.

    It would seem the response he received was not definitively obvious to him prior to asking. I feel this is the most shocking part. It’s like he’s out of touch with reality.

    But if I may shitpost:

    Maybe it’s high time he cleaned out all those animal carcasses from his freezer.

        Remember when he supported and backed Obama, or when he threw support behind Hillary? Or that he was a registered Democrat? Or when Obama considered him for administrator of the EPA?

      He’s an aging second generation Kennedy who had a brain worm…

      They don’t remove those btw, they’re usually killed via medications but the worm is in an organ, you can’t remove it. Like if a dog has heart worms and gets treated, their health will get worse because their body has to deal with dead worms, and then even after the remains decay, there’s holes.

      Like, dude probably already put his brain thru enough without a decaying worm, but it shouldn’t be surprising he acts illogical like he has a serious mental problem, because he has a serious mental problem. Absolute best case scenario is by now the worm is gone and he “just” has a big hole in his brain that will never heal.

      I don’t think it’s shitposting when that’s literally how politics works these days. You’ve just become a spokesman.
