10/30/23: In light of a recent concerning incident in Los Angeles involving Robert Kennedy Jr., Kennedys and King is raising a crucial question: Why is the presidential candidate not receiving Secret Service protection?

The incident in question transpired on a late Friday afternoon when RFK Jr. was delivering a speech at a theater located a mere two miles from the historic Ambassador Hotel, where his father tragically lost his life. A man approached him during this event, wielding two loaded firearms, one of which was concealed in his backpack. The alarming nature of this incident was amplified by the fact that the man had previously posted concerning videos on TikTok before attempting the act. Fortunately, the Los Angeles Police Department intervened, preventing a potential catastrophe, and subsequently arrested the individual.

"In light of the recent events, it's clear that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. deserves Secret Service protection," said a representative of the platform. "We cannot afford to underestimate the potential threats and risks. The safety and security of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. must be a priority."

They continued, "The incident that unfolded in Los Angeles is not an isolated event. It underscores a broader concern for the safety of a prominent figure who has dedicated his life to upholding truth, justice, and democratic values. Denying him the protection he clearly requires is not just an oversight; it's a failure to ensure the security of those who advocate for a better society. The time has come for the Department of Homeland Security to take immediate action."

To provide context, it is essential to recall that after the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in Los Angeles in 1968, presidential candidates were promptly granted Secret Service protection upon request, with the usual turnaround time being a mere 14 days. Astonishingly, when Kennedy requested this crucial security measure, it was denied after an excruciating 88-day delay.

The DHS justification for this denial was the provision of Secret Service protection only 120 days before a general election, effectively denying Kennedy the protection he might need throughout the primary season. Notably, other political figures, such as Barack Obama and Donald Trump, had been accorded Secret Service protection at earlier stages of their campaigns.

Regardless of the interpretation of the events in Los Angeles on that Friday, it undeniably highlights a significant need for protection. Kennedys and King is now strongly urging the Department of Homeland Security to reconsider its stance and promptly provide the essential Secret Service protection that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. merits.
