WASHINGTON, DC: Independent presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr claimed that the "monolithic media" is "aligned with the DNC" and that they are undervaluing him and telling Americans that he "can't win."

During an interview with Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto on his show 'Your World with Neil Cavuto' on Friday, August 9, RFK Jr also asserted that he will be on the ballot in all 50 states.



 

Robert F Kennedy Jr claims the 'monolithic media' is aligned with the Democratic National Committee

During the Fox News interview, RFK Jr, who has often been described as a conspiracy theorist, explained the challenges he has been facing as a third-party candidate that didn’t exist before, including when business magnate Ross Perot ran in the 1990s.

He said, "I’ve got I’ve got the entire media, kind of this monolithic media, that is aligned with the DNC telling Americans every single day that I can’t win. And then denying me the ability — this is the only network, major network, that allows me to do interviews like this one."

"I’ve done a total of four interviews on all the other networks, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and MSNBC in 19 months, four interviews. Ross Perot was on TV every single night," added RFK Jr. 

He also told Cavuto, "We didn’t have that kind of alignment with the political parties that we now have. And it makes it, it does make it very difficult."

RFK Jr said that one of his biggest challenges is to persuade Americans that he could win adding that if they believed he could win, he says he will win.

The independent candidate further claimed, "Right now we have enough signatures to be on all 50 states, so… we’ve handed most of them in, some of the states are not yet certified, but we’re gonna be on the ballot in all 50 states, for sure."

"A lot of the states, Neil, don’t certify until mid-August. So… we’ve turned in our signatures, the signatures have been accepted and they’re gonna be certified," mentioned the former environmental lawyer. 

A few days prior to the Fox News interview, RFK Jr admitted in an X (formerly Twitter) clip that he dumped a dead bear cub in New York's Central Park in 2014. In the video, he is seen explaining to comedian Roseanne Barr the incident that has mystified New Yorkers for 10 years.

He said that a woman had hit the bear with her car when he was driving outside the city, and he decided to put it in his van intending to harvest its meat when he got back home. 

However, he ended up having a busy day and needed to go to the airport, so he disposed of the carcass in Central Park. RFK Jr remarked that he thought "it would be amusing for whoever found it."

One joked, "I understand his frustration. The Monolithic Media never covers me either, and my polling numbers are the same as his," and another said, "Does RFK jr really want more coverage? Every time his name is mentioned it's about something weirdly goofy he's done."

"Why would the DNC block him? He takes away RNC votes," mentioned a person, while someone else remarked, "He sounds like the MAGA lunatics here. Now tell me again how this guy is pulling votes from the Dems again?"

One more commented, "I'M BEING SILENCED, claims man on the most watched media network," pointing out the irony.

"Another victim of 'the media'. What a joke," stated an individual.
