Summary

It’s not just an endorsement. It’s not just a RINGING endorsement.

mythologically democratic hero for Trump. There's endorsements and there's endorsements,

0:05.6

but this one was a doozy. Hi everybody, I'm Bill Whittle here with Steve Green and Scott Ott,

0:09.0

and as you probably heard by now, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has folded his campaign and given

0:13.6

his endorsement to Donald Trump. Now, usually that means something like I endorse Donald Trump,

but that's not what happened. Donald Trump brought Robert F. Kennedy out on a huge audience, a huge stage.

1:20.5

And one of the things that I learned through history was that despite the love and affection for John Kennedy,
