Robert F. Kennedy Jr. took to Twitter<\/a> Friday to complain that his request for secret service safety has been denied. \u201cBecause the assassination of my father in 1968, candidates for president are offered Secret Service safety,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cHowever not me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because the assassination of my father in 1968, candidates for president are offered Secret Service safety.  However not me.   Typical turnaround time for professional forma safety requests from presidential candidates is 14-days.  After 88-days of no response and after a number of\u2026<\/p>\n

Kennedy needs particular therapy and taxpayer-funded safety, and he\u2019s shameless sufficient to invoke his father\u2019s assassination to get it, which simply provides to how a lot of an asshole he’s. At any fee, there\u2019s nothing uncommon within the denial of his request. In truth, granting it will be a departure from standard practice<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The service is offered to \u201cmain presidential and vice presidential candidates\u201d after consideration by the Secretary of the Division of Homeland Safety and an advisory committee that features congressional management of each events. They take into account various components, together with polling thresholds and \u201ca selected evaluation of threats towards that candidate.\u201d Kennedy\u2019s marketing campaign doesn\u2019t cut it <\/a>relating to polling proper now. The \u201c67-page report from the world’s main safety agency\u201d that Kennedy says he offered the committee appears to not have satisfied them there was justification.<\/p>\n

The Secret Service\u2019s FAQ<\/a> says they usually present safety for candidates and their spouses \u201cinside 120 days of a basic presidential election.\u201d Within the 2004 election, frontrunner John Kerry didn\u2019t get safety till the primaries had begun<\/a> in February of that yr. The earliest a candidate has obtained safety was about 9 months earlier than the primaries in 2007, when former President Barack Obama\u2019s personal marketing campaign safety was changed by the Secret Service in May 2007<\/a>. As the primary outstanding Black candidate for president, he wanted it for fairly apparent causes. President Joe Biden didn\u2019t get it till March 2020<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Which takes us again to Kennedy and this a part of his tweet: \u201cTypical turnaround time for professional forma safety requests from presidential candidates is 14-days. After 88-days of no response and after a number of follow-ups by our marketing campaign, the Biden Administration simply denied our request.\u201d <\/p>\n

That looks as if a contrived effort to incorporate these particular numbers, which carry significance<\/a> for white supremacists and neo-Nazis. The Anti-Defamation League deems them \u201chate symbols.\u201d The \u201c14-day\u201d bit appears to have been plucked out of skinny air\u2014it would not seem wherever on the Secret Service\u2019s web site, and information studies about different candidates\u2019 safety don\u2019t point out it. And Kennedy simply occurred to get the rejection on the 88th day after he submitted the request? Actually? <\/p>\n

Given the company he\u2019s been keeping<\/a>, what this tweet actually looks like is one other name to his neo-Nazi fan base.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
