🇺🇸 6-28-23 Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Here’s what I’m not going to do in this race.
I’m not going to attack other people personally.
I don’t think it’s good for our country.
What I’m trying to do in this race is bring people together..
I was with [my Dad] when he died in Los Angeles.
We brought his body from NY to WA.
It was supposed to be a 2.5 hour ride but it took 7.5 hours
because there were 2.5 million people on the tracks.
It was a cross section of Americans..
There were Black Americans singing Battle Hymn Of The Republic.
There were Whites holding up signs,
“Pray for us Bobby.” Saluting.
My father was able to bridge the divide of people
who would otherwise be Republican
but wanted somebody who was common sense
able to appeal to their idealism
find the hero in each of them..
& see themselves as part of this incredible American adventure
in modeling self-governance for the rest of the world..
My purpose is to find the values we have in common đź•Š
NY to DC
