Why is RFK Jr. the Only Major Candidate Denied Secret Service Protection?

By denying him protection, the Biden administration is sending a dangerous signal—that not all candidates are worthy of the same rights and protections.

In 2004, Senator John Edwards received Secret Service protection 172 days before the presidential election while he was running in the Democratic primary. This standard procedure ensured the safety and security of a high-profile candidate during a contentious political period. Fast forward to today, 169 days out from the 2024 election, and a disturbing double standard has emerged: Robert F Kennedy Jr, a prominent candidate, has made five requests for Secret Service protection, each one met with a firm denial.

This rejection stands in stark contrast to the historical precedent set in the wake of the tragic assassination of Kennedy's own father in 1968, which led to the extension of Secret Service protection to presidential candidates. The Secret Service itself has identified Kennedy as being at “elevated risk,” yet the Biden administration has chosen to make RFK Jr. the only major candidate in modern history to be denied this essential protection.

 One must ask: Why? What justifies this glaring inconsistency? Is it mere bureaucratic oversight, or is there a more insidious motive at play?

This decision by President Joe Biden's administration raises critical questions about the integrity and impartiality of our democratic processes. In an era where political violence is an ever-present threat, ensuring the safety of all candidates should be a non-partisan issue. Yet, Kennedy’s repeated pleas have been met with silence, leaving him vulnerable in a climate that is increasingly hostile to dissenting voices.

Let’s consider the implications of this denial. By refusing to grant RFK Jr. Secret Service protection, the administration is not just neglecting its duty to protect; it is actively endangering a candidate whose platform challenges the status quo. This move can be seen as an attempt to stifle a voice that dares to question the establishment, a voice that seeks to hold those in power accountable.

The American people deserve to know why RFK Jr. is being treated differently. They deserve transparency and fairness, not a selective application of protection that smacks of political bias. If the Secret Service has indeed determined that Kennedy faces elevated risks, then it is not just reasonable but imperative that he be granted the same protections afforded to his predecessors and contemporaries.

This issue transcends partisan politics; it is a matter of ensuring the safety and security of our democratic process. Every candidate, regardless of their political stance, deserves protection from potential threats. To deny RFK Jr. this protection is to undermine the very principles of democracy and fairness that our nation stands upon.

In light of these denials, one must wonder: what message is being sent to other candidates, to the public, and to potential threats? The selective denial of Secret Service protection can embolden those who wish to silence dissent through violence, knowing that certain voices will not be adequately protected.

As we approach the 2024 election, it is crucial that we uphold the standards set in place to protect all candidates. The administration must address this issue promptly and provide a clear, justified reason for their refusal. Anything less is an affront to the democratic values we hold dear.

RFK Jr.'s campaign is not just about policies and platforms; it is about the fundamental right to participate in the democratic process without fear of violence. By denying him protection, the Biden administration is sending a dangerous signal—that not all candidates are worthy of the same rights and protections.
