RFK Jr doubts Kamala Harris' worthiness, says we need someone who can put 'together an English sentence'

WASHINGTON, DC: Robert F Kennedy Jr ripped Vice President Kamala Harris' candidacy on Tuesday, September 3, questioning her qualifications for the presidency.

He stated that Harris is not "a worthy president" and elaborated on his reasons for endorsing former president Donald Trump instead.

Why does RFK Jr believe Kamala Harris is unfit for presidency?

Robert F Kennedy Jr's remarks came during an interview with NewsNation host Chris Cuomo where he expressed his concerns about Harris' ability to lead the country effectively.

Kennedy Jr criticized Harris' communication skills, claiming that the nation needed a president capable of articulating their vision and defending their policies.

"I don’t think that Vice President Harris is a worthy president of this country," Kennedy Jr stated, according to the New York Post.

"I think we need to have a president who can give an interview, who can articulate a vision, who can put together an English sentence, who can articulate her and defend her policies and her record and who can engage in a debate with, and regular debates, unscripted appearances, president or vice president," he added.

What led RFK Jr to drop out and endorse Donald Trump?

Kamala Harris has recently been under fire for her limited media presence since taking over President Joe Biden’s spot at the top of the Democratic ticket.

Critics have argued that she has not clearly communicated her policy objectives.

Last week, Harris, along with her running mate Minnesota governor Tim Walz, participated in her first major sit-down interview with CNN’s Dana Bash.

Kennedy Jr's decision to exit the race followed the Democratic National Convention's conclusion late last month.

He revealed that he endorsed Trump because he was concerned that staying in the race would have increased Harris' chances of becoming president.

"It became clear to me that I was not going to be allowed on the debating stage, which was really my only path to victory. I was already being boycotted by all of the mainstream media, by the liberal media," Kennedy Jr remarked on NewsNation.

"I had no way to grow, and our polling was showing that if I stayed in the race, Vice President Harris would win, and I did not want that outcome," said Kennedy Jr, The Hill noted.

The environmental lawyer had initially planned to stay on the ballot in most red and blue states but opted to remove himself from swing-state ballots where he could influence the outcome of the presidential race.

Will RFK Jr still appear on ballots in key states?

Despite Kennedy Jr's intention to remove himself from certain ballots, his name is still likely to appear in some key states, including Michigan, Wisconsin, and North Carolina, according to officials.

"What the irony is, Chris, we have been trying to get on the ballot in every state, and we succeeded now in doing that. And now we’re taking ourselves off in the states where we would harm President Trump," Kennedy Jr shared during the interview.

"The Democrat Party, which was suing us to keep us off the ballot in those states, is now suing us to force us to be on the ballot," Kennedy Jr said.

"I mean, it’s, if we’re talking about principles here, you know, I think that we ought to, I ought to be able to be on the ballots where I want to be on and not be on the ballot where I don’t want to be on," he added.

The growing alliance between Kennedy Jr and Trump has fueled speculation that Kennedy might be considered for a role in a potential second Trump administration if Trump wins in November.
