“RFK” means something very different to Donald Trump’s backers.
Make America Great Again Inc., a pro-Trump super PAC, launched a website Monday dubbing the scion of America’s most famous political family “Radical F—ing Kennedy,” The Post has learned.
The website is the most aggressive attack on the independent presidential candidate yet from Trump’s side, and comes as Kennedy has stressed he is courting supporters of both Trump and President Biden with the intent of being a “spoiler” for both major candidates. 4 MAGA Inc. launched a “Radical F—ing Kennedy” website showcasing his record.
The website lists all the “radical liberal” ideas the 70-year-old has supported, including gun confiscation, reparations to African Americans, a 70% income tax and the Green New Deal.
The site features Kennedy retweeting a January 2019 Vox.com article titled “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is floating a 70[%] top tax rate heres the research that backs her up.”
That link is followed by a tweet from Kennedy calling the National Rifle Association a “terror group,” and an article quoting him as announcing he would sign an “assault weapons ban.”
“Parkland students are right; the NRA is a terror group,” RFK Jr. tweeted in 2018 in the aftermath of the Florida school shooting.
The site then links to instances when Kennedy has supported the Green New Deal and said he would ban fracking, followed by a link to him claiming hog farmers were more dangerous to the US than Osama bin Laden — a statement he made mere months after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
Kennedy made the hog farmer attack in April of 2002, according to an archived edition of the Des Moines Register cited by the Daily Caller, back when he was president of the Waterkeeper Alliance. 4 Kennedy is the highest polling third-party candidate in the race and aims to take votes away from Trump and Biden.

The website also lists the times Kennedy has said he’s close with independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan — and one instance when he came out as opposing voter ID laws.
“Theres a lot of Americans who dont have drivers license,” Kennedy told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow in 2008. “One in 10 Americans of voter age do not have drivers license. Who are they? They are senior citizens. They are young people. They are people who live in cities and theyre black people. In other words, Democratic voters. One in five Democraticone in five black voters does not have a drivers license. That means if you require a drivers license, youre getting rid of 20% of the black voters in this country.”

During Jim Crow, Black banks, businesses, hospitals, schools, and farms were targeted for destruction. Racists knew that without these, the Black community had no chance of building wealth. We must set federal dollars aside to rebuild Black infrastructure,” Kennedy’s campaign website read in October.
These programs complement direct redress payments or tax credits to the descendants of the victims of Jim Crow and other victims of persecution, the pledge continued. RFK Jr. will find ways to offer this redress that are legal, fair, and win the approval of Americans of all races.
The campaign took down their stance on reparations after The Post reported on the platform in October, and the Kennedy 2024 website now reads: Targeted Community Repair will be available to devastated communities across the country, not just Black.”
The criteria will be around need, not skin color. However, because there are so many Black communities in need, this program will channel significant resources toward the rebuilding of these most devastated of communities.” 4 Kennedy recently announced entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan as his VP pick.

Trump has recently stepped up his attacks on RFK Jr. as being “radical,” but has also told liberals to vote for the independent over President Biden as polls show him close to the incumbent Democrat.
RFK Jr. is, as you know, the most radical left candidate in the race. Hes more so than the Green Party. Hes more so than even crooked Joe Biden. But hes got some nice things about him. I happen to like him, Trump said in a video posted on Truth Social on Thursday.
“RFK is a radical liberal. He loves the Green New Deal, high taxes, and hates voter ID,” said Alex Pfeiffer, spokesman for Make America Great Again Inc.
Kennedy has stayed away from bashing Trump and has instead criticized the two-party system, insisting he aims to take votes away from both Biden and Trump.
“Mr. Kennedy is so liberal that President Trump asked him to be his VP,” Kennedy’s spokesperson Stefanie Spear told The Post.
The veep courting has caused strife between the Trump and Kennedy campaigns in the past, with the independent ruling out the VP position and top Trump adviser Chris LaCivita claiming the conversation never happened.
