Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy issued a stinging statement against Democrats after a jury from one of the bluest districts in America deliberated for less than 12 hours to render a historic, first-ever felony conviction against a former U.S. president.

Which is not to say that RFK Jr. didn’t take advantage of the kangaroo court verdict to do a little campaigning against the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee.

“The Democratic Party’s strategy is to beat President Trump in the courtroom rather than the ballot box. This will backfire in November. Even worse, it is profoundly undemocratic,” Kennedy said in a post shared on X. “America deserves a President who can win at the ballot box without compromising our government’s separation of powers or weaponizing the courts. You can’t save democracy by destroying it first. The Democrats are afraid they will lose in the voting booth, so instead they go after President Trump in the courtroom.”

“I’m also running against President Trump in this election. The difference is I’m challenging him on his record,” he continued. “His lockdowns during Covid. His atrocious environmental record. His cozy relationship with corporate America. His support for the war machine. His failure to root out waste and corruption in Washington. His service to the billionaire class. His bloating of the national debt. These are the issues that shape American lives.”

Kennedy concluded, “I’ll challenge him on these things, but the Democrats won’t. You know why? Because they pursue the very same policies.”

Even the RFK Jr. parody account agreed that President Biden and the Democrats have turned the rule of law on its head and made America into a banana republic.

“President Trump found guilty on all counts! Although I am not a supporter of Trump, it is evident that this case was politically motivated,” the account tweeted. “President Biden and his administration are literally running a banana republic!”

President Trump found guilty on all counts!

Although I am not a supporter of Trump, it is evident that this case was politically motivated.

President Biden and his administration are literally running a banana republic!

Let’s vote for change this November!#KennedyShanahan24

Considering the Trump campaign donation page crashed following the “rigged” verdict, it’s unlikely Kennedy will pick up any Trump supporters from this miscarriage of justice.

Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on the social media platform X:

As Trumps opponent it takes real integrity to call out this bullshit.

Respect for that sir.

Support for the war machine?? He is the first president in years to not start one.

This is a political prosecution, and an attempt to turn America into an open Banana Republic.

Thank you for calling the Trump Verdict what it is… pic.twitter.com/ef84k3RMLt

I don’t agree with all of your viewpoints, but it sure is a welcome relief to see someone challenge this absurd abuse of the justice system.

We are not voting for you.

Robert, you can say what you want, but today, the New York justice system and Biden’s DOJ just elected Trump. Trump will carry every state in a landslide.

And you think that coming out and trying to campaign the same day this travesty happened.
