Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lashed out at President Biden on Friday after he invoked the Russia-Ukraine war in his D-Day anniversary remarks.
In his Friday speech, Biden asked several hypothetical questions related to how the soldiers who fought on D-Day would react to the current situation in Eastern Europe.
“Does anyone doubt that they would like America to rise up against [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s aggression here in Europe today? Does anyone believe these rangers would want America to go it alone today?” he asked. “Does anyone doubt that they would not move heaven and earth to defeat today’s hateful ideologies?”
Biden also met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in France, where he apologized for the delay in funding to the war-torn country.
Kennedy, who has been a vocal critic of additional U.S. aid to Ukraine, went after the commander in chief, saying the current conflict in Ukraine is not the same as World War II. In a social media post, the independent candidate argued that he is the only 2024 candidate who makes “peace” a priority.
“As Jeffrey Sachs pointed out in his recent interview with Tucker, the United States and NATO engaged in ’30 years of provocation, where we could not take peace as an answer,’ Kennedy wrote on social media platform X. “The situation in Ukraine today is not the same as it was in World War II.”
“A President of the United States cannot carelessly engage in a historic confrontation with a nuclear power. It endangers the world, harms our moral and intellectual standing, and dishonors the sacrifice of our soldiers,” he added. “Peace goes hand in hand with truth. I’m the only candidate in this race who makes this a priority.”
Kennedy has been actively working to qualify for the debate stage alongside Biden and former President Trump later this month. He also argued that the incumbent should drop out of the race, pointing to polls that suggest he has a better opportunity to defeat the former president.
The independent candidate also argued that denying him access to debates is a blow against democracy.
“Presidents Trump and Biden are conspiring to lock America into a direct confrontation that 70% say they don’t want,” Kennedy wrote last month. in a post on X, adding: “They are trying to exclude me from the debate because they are afraid I will win. Keeping viable candidates off the debate stage undermines democracy.”
