"We don't want a former president of the United States being assassinated on live television. I mean, we have to move on from this kind of normalcy. This is not normal. This is not healthy."
In my one-on-one interview with Robert Kennedy Junior’s vice presidential running mate Nicole Shanahan in the immediate aftermath of the second Trump assassination attempt, we discussed the recent threat to Donald Trump’s life.
Shanahan shared her insight into Bobby Kennedy’s reaction to the first assassination attempt and their shared struggles with the politicized Secret Service.
"Yeah, I watched that assassination attempt with the same concern and shock as the rest of the nation. I think we are in a point in American history that we are so divided in this country and the left looks at Donald Trump like an existential threat."
"That's what the media sells them. That's what the party is selling to its followers and trying to get more and more of the public to think that he's this horrible person" "There are people on the left celebrating the assassination attempt, wishing that it was successful. I mean, what kind of country are we in that people are hoping a former president is assassinated? That is appalling. It's really appalling."
"It's more something to reflect on as it relates to the state of the nation than necessarily the event itself. The event itself is harrowing, but the response, and Bobby Kennedy and I have always looked at this election as, let's give Americans a third choice."
"Let's focus on unifying this country. It's been a message that we have cared about since day one. We still care about that message. We really want to heal this nation right now. We really want to stop the lies from a lot coming from the left, let's be honest. And things that we learned firsthand as being former Democrats is just what's happened to that party."
"It's indistinguishable from the party that I grew up with and their relationship with, the truth and facts and the underpinnings of democracy have really gone sideways."
"So when we saw what was going on with Donald Trump, and Bobby is such an upstanding gentleman, he called him and he just wished him his regards. He said, I'm glad you're safe. I put out on my @X, thank goodness he's safe."
We also discussed the ways that Big Pharma has hijacked Science and the way that RFK Junior would reform the Big Pharma-Public Health Complex.
