Robert F. Kennedy Jr., now supporting President Donald Trump, warned that electing Kamala Harris could lead to nuclear war. In a video shared on X, Kennedy argued that Harris’ aggressive foreign policy stance and lack of experience make her unfit to handle the nation’s most serious international challenges.
Kennedy, referencing his uncle John F. Kennedy’s legacy, stated that JFK believed in diplomacy with adversaries as a means to maintain peace. He pointed to Trump’s repeated willingness to negotiate with Vladimir Putin as a responsible approach to de-escalate the Ukraine conflict. Kennedy claimed that if his uncle were alive, he would stand alongside Trump on this issue, valuing talks over warfare.
He criticized Harris’ speech at the Democratic Convention as “hostile,” suggesting it shows her susceptibility to military interests pushing for conflict. Kennedy described her as a “puppet” who would be manipulated into actions that could risk the lives of American soldiers abroad.
Drawing a parallel between Harris and Dick Cheney, Kennedy recalled how Cheney pushed the U.S. into the Iraq war based on false information, resulting in over a million deaths. Kennedy warned that Harris could follow a similar path, leading to a nuclear conflict that would have devastating global consequences.
Kennedy highlighted studies suggesting that a nuclear war could last less than two hours but would kill billions of people. He reiterated JFK’s cautionary words that those surviving such a catastrophe would “envy the dead.”
Kennedy urged Americans to reject Harris in the upcoming election, positioning Trump as the candidate capable of maintaining peace. “If you want to avoid nuclear war, I strongly urge you to vote for Donald Trump,” he concluded, framing the election as a crucial choice for the nation’s future.
