DNC Puts Up Billboards Attacking RFK Jr. Over Donors Linked to Trump

If the Democrat Party will stop at nothing to protect their hidden radicalist agenda, even attacking members of their party. 

The Democratic National Convention launched a series of billboards in Michigan this week, attacking now-independent 2024 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over his aligned Super PAC receiving donations from a former President Trump mega-donor. 

The billboards will feature Kennedy on one side with Trump on the other. In between them, the billboard will read “RFK Jr. powered by MAGA Trump. The same biggest donor, Timothy Mellon.” 

The Kennedy-aligned super PAC, American Values 2024, received $15 million from Mellon, a transportation executive. 

According to Federal Election Commission (FEC) fillings, in 2023, Trump-aligned super PAC MAGA Inc. received $10 million from Mellon. 

“He’s powered and bankrolled by the same extreme MAGA donor as Donald Trump and Trump’s allies have already called him a useful chaos agent in this election,” DNC Rapid Response Director Alex Floyd said. (Via The Hill) 

Floyd called Kennedy a “stalking horse for extreme MAGA Republicans.”

Michigan, a key battleground state for the presidential election, predominantly swings Democrat. President Joe Biden beat Trump by just a few thousand votes in the 2020 election. 

The billboards come directly after the DNC filed a Federal Election Commission complaint against Kennedy’s presidential campaign and American Values 2024, accusing him of receiving an illegal contribution. 

The DNC claims the super PAC hired signature-gathering vendors to help Kennedy get on the ballot in battleground states, violating federal election laws. 

In response, American Values 2024 co-chair Tony Lyons criticized the DNC, saying, “The DNC wants to deny millions of people their basic constitutional voting rights in a relentless onslaught against democracy. His FEC complaint is just another desperate DNC tactic to defame Kennedy, vilify him, and drain his campaign funds. The American people are too smart to be fooled by these political games.

Kennedy has already qualified to be on the ballot in Utah and is eligible to appear on New Hampshire’s ballot.
