Robert F Kennedy Jr pledges to pardon or commute sentences of politically prosecuted individuals

“I pledge to appoint a cabinet comprising members of the Democratic Party, Republican Party, Libertarian Party, and people from the Green Party and other parties and parties outside the political process,” the environmental lawyer and prominent anti-vaccine activist said while addressing the crowd at Caesars Forum in Las Vegas on Friday, July 12, New York Post reported.

The creator of the Silk Road "darknet" website, Ross Ulbricht, who is presently serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole, was among those he said he would "pardon or commute the sentences of any people who have been politically prosecuted", and he would "convene a cross-partisan advisory committee to propose and select Supreme Court justices".

Kennedy stated that he would consider pardoning or commuting the sentences of "any past president or members of their families if I find that any of the charges still pending against them... were politically motivated".

Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, escaped prison by entering into a plea agreement and accepting a guilty plea to one felony count. Kennedy also promised Assange a "real full and unconditional pardon".

Kennedy declared, “The first thing that I’m going to do on my first day in office is to issue an executive order declaring that any federal official who tells a lie in conjunction with his official duties will lose his job.”

Also, he said, “I’m going to order the intelligence agencies to cease propagandizing the American public.”

Robert F Kennedy Jr emphasizes 'truth and unity'

Robert F Kennedy Jr promised to "make all government actions and interactions transparent to the public" through the use of blockchain technology and artificial intelligence, but he did not elaborate on how this would be accomplished.

He asserted that the division crisis cannot be resolved by either President Biden or former President Donald Trump.

“Neither President Trump or President Biden is prepared to unify our nation. In fact, their rhetoric and their actions will only divide us further and they don’t even contest that,” Kennedy said.

“Our country faces some steep challenges right now in its history, and we cannot hope to meet them if we’re all at each other’s throats,” Kennedy said.

“What do we need to do to make America strong again from the inside out? We need truth and we need unity.”

Robert F Kennedy Jr rues lack of civics education in schools

Robert F Kennedy Jr claimed that part of the reason for the division in the country is the lack of civics education in schools.

“We need to raise a generation of children that understands that they need to fight for these constitutional rights to the death,” he said.

“They need to fight for them to the gates of hell and if hell freezes over they need to fight for them on the ice.”

Internet reacts to Robert F Kennedy Jr's speech

People voiced their opinions on Robert F Kennedy's FreedomFest speech.

One wrote, "Kennedy is our only hope. The other 2 are ruining our country."

Another reader remarked, "RFK Jr said he’s all for reparations.."

The third commentator wrote, "Heck, roadkill is better than Joe Biden."

"The Dems dissed RFK and Dean Phillips to keep Biden as the front runner. The reason the Dems did the debate differently is because they did not want any other opposition from within their party. Now, they are stuck with an old man who does not even know who his VP is. Biden is not on the ticket, it is Kamala. And there is no way Kamala could do the POTUS job when she could barely function as a prosecutor back in the day. Like a political soap opera. Biden, the main player, is about to be retired or killed off by his own party. Love it," a person added.
