Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. failed to provide an answer to a question about who he would appoint to the United States Supreme Court if elected to the White House in 2024.
The question was asked on Thursday’s episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, and RFK Jr. beat around the bush.
Kirk asked Kennedy, “So one of the things as president, obviously, you get to appoint Supreme Court justices. And the Supreme Court is more important than ever as a check and balance. Which current or recent Supreme Court justice is closest to your ideas or what you would appoint?”
“I couldn’t answer that,” Kennedy replied. “I would say I would appoint judges who reflect my values.”
Pushing for an answer, Kirk asked, “But what are those values? Would it be more like Kagan or Clarence Thomas?”
“I don’t know. I wouldn’t answer that,” Kennedy said to Kirk.
“But respectfully, you’re running for president,” said Kirk. “The voters, that’s a huge issue for voters. Especially when it comes to second amendment rights, abortion.”
Kennedy asserted that he was “not going to tell” Kirk who he would like to appoint to the nation’s highest court. However, the presidential candidate listed off a set of important issues to him that include “free market capitalism, strong environmental protection, strong liberties, human rights, civil rights, bodily autonomy, skepticism toward big business and toward the corporate control of our country.”
“So those are the issues. I’m not going to tell you,” said RFK Jr.
Vying for some type of answer that would direct voters if Kennedy would pick a justice that aligns with their personal values, Kirk asked him who his favorite Supreme Court justice has been.
Kennedy provided an answer to that question and said, “Earl Warren.”
“Okay. So the Warren court that got rid of prayer in public schools,” Kirk said to Kennedy.
“I’m very open and transparent about what I want, but I’m not going to pick a judge and endorse every decision that they’ve ever made,” said RKF Jr.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr, who launched his campaign for the Democrat presidential nomination in April, decided to switch his party in October and run as an Independent candidate.
Analysts have claimed that Kennedy’s switch is “controlled opposition” to take votes away from former Republican president Donald Trump, to further Joe Biden’s chances of winning re-election. However, a poll released in November revealed that Donald Trump is in the lead among voters in the swing state of Pennsylvania, beating out both Biden and RFK.
Additionally, another recent poll shows that Trump is beating Biden in all swing states.
