RFK Jr’s dad shooting IS the reason why American Presidential candidate’s DO get security details….
The Biden administration announced Monday that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will be given Secret Service protection following the attempted assassination of former President Trump this weekend.
Why it matters: The shooting sparked intense scrutiny of the Secret Service’s work and underscored the threats against elected leaders. The long-shot independent presidential candidate had been seeking government protection.
The big picture: “In light of this weekend’s events, the president has directed me to work with the Secret Service to provide protection to Robert Kennedy Jr.,” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said at a White House press briefing Monday.
- “Our entire administration is grateful that former President Trump is okay,” Mayorkas added, thanking Secret Service agents for their work and extending condolences to the family of Corey Comperatore, a rally attendee who was killed in the shooting.
- “We are in a heightened and very dynamic threat environment,” Mayorkas added.
- Trump was given increased security before and after the rally shooting, in anticipation of being officially named the Republican Party’s 2024 presidential nominee, he added.
What they’re saying: “Thank you, President Biden, for extending me Secret Service protection,” Kennedy said in a statement….
