During a recent interview with the All In Podcast, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed that Donald Trump told him that he thought Kevin Roberts, the author of Project 2025, was a right-wing a**shole.
Once running against each other, Kennedy Jr. and Trump are now aligned. If Trump is to be successful in his current run, it is expected that Kennedy Jr. would be offered a place in his cabinet. In return, the conspiracy theorist is acting as a surrogate for the Republican candidate.
RFK Jr. said of his new friend, "If President Trump wins, that people are going to see a very different President Trump than they did in the first term. I think he’s changed as a person. And I’ve known him for, you know, 30 years. But I think he is, he’s focused on his legacy."
The former candidate continued, "And he brought this issue up to me and he said, you know, they always tell me I’m on for Project 2025. I never read Project 2025 until they start accusing me of it. He said that was written by a right-wing as*hole. That’s what he is. He said they’re left-wing a*sholes and there are right-wing as*holes and it was a right-wing as*hole who wrote that thing and then he started going through it."
Kennedy closed:
So I, you know, I think he’s interested in his legacy now. He wants to leave behind some accomplishments and he wants to make our country better. And I think he’s, you know, he’s listening to a wider range of voices. He’s preparing to govern right now. And, you know, I’ll be on the transition committee picking the people who are going to govern…There’s going to be a wide diversity of stakeholders. But he’s listening to more than just that narrow right wing.
