Robert F. Kennedy Jr isn’t running for president – He’s trying to split the Democratic vote to help Donald Trump.
Let’s cycle back to 1992 when two conservatives, incumbent President George H.W. Bush and H. Ross Perot, split a formidable share of the Republican vote and enabled Democrat Bill Clinton to win comfortably.
Back then, Perot’s role as a spoiler was an unintended consequence. He was a legitimate candidate, unlike Kennedy whose sole purpose is to be a spoiler this year.
As a result, it should be of no surprise that Steve and Tracy Slepcevic, who recently hosted a fundraiser for Kennedy, are deeply entrenched in anti-vaccine activism, QAnon conspiracy theories, Christian nationalism, and far-right extremism.
In May 2021, Steve promoted the We the People Patriots Day Rally in Stuart, Florida, on his Instagram feed. This event featured prominent figures like Michael Flynn and Roger Stone. DeAnna Lorraie, a known QAnon activist and host at Alex Jones’ InfoWars site, served as the announcer for the rally. According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the event also included speeches from other individuals associated with QAnon and a Christian nationalist perspective.
Steve Slepcevic’s involvement in these circles, including attendance at the January 6 rally and association with Three Percenters militia members, adds another layer of concern regarding the Slepcevics’ ties to extremism.
And Tracy Slepcevic’s book, “Warrior Mom,” endorsed by Kennedy and championed by figures like Michael Flynn, aligns with narratives discrediting routine childhood vaccines. The book’s promotion at events like the Children’s Health Defense conference, alongside individuals like Stew Peters and Andrew Wakefield, further illustrates Tracy’s involvement in the anti-vax movement and association with figures known for spreading misinformation.
Additionally, Tracy’s participation in events like the premiere of “Plandemic 3” demonstrates her engagement with broader far-right conspiracy circles, where election denialism and extremist views are promoted.
Tracy is actively involved in the far-right conspiracy circuit. In November 2022, she participated as a speaker in the ReAwaken America tour. This tour combined elements of Christian nationalism, QAnon beliefs, and support for the MAGA movement. The event promoted election denialism and various conspiracy theories. Headlining speakers included Michael Flynn, CEO of MyPillow Mike Lindell, longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, and Lara and Eric Trump.
Shocking… NOT!
The presence of folks with such shady backgrounds among Kennedy’s fundraisers and the campaign’s alignment with or tolerance of extremist ideologies confirms what most of us already knew – Kennedy is fraud who is looking for support from ignorant conservative Democrats because he knows a vote for him is, in actuality, a vote for Donald Trump.
From Salon.com: Of course, Steve Bannon and Alex Jones love RFK Jr. — he’s a great weapon for their war on reality
While it’s important to engage with a diverse range of perspectives in political discourse, Kennedy’s associations with individuals promoting dangerous conspiracy theories and extremist views undermine what little credibility and integrity RFK Jr’s campaign had.
