“WHAT THE F**** IS WRONG WITH BOBBY KENNEDY?
“HE’S A WALKING TALKING CONSPIRACY THEORIST. THE NEW YORK TIMES.”
[KARAH RUCKER]
INDEPENDENT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE ROBERT F. KENNEDY JUNIOR IS ACCUSING BIG TECH OF CENSORING HIS LATEST POLITICAL AD.
SAYING FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM BLOCKED A LINK TO THE NEW VIDEO SUNDAY.
PARENT COMPANY META CALLED IT A MISTAKE.
SAYING THE LINK WAS WRONGLY FLAGGED AS SPAM AND UNBLOCKED IT WITHIN HOURS.
BUT KENNEDY’S CAMPAIGN QUICKLY POUNCED.
POSTING A TIKTOK COMPILATION OF BROKEN OR BLOCKED LINKS.
THE 30-MINUTE AD, NARRATED BY WOODY HARRELSON PORTRAYS KENNEDY AS A CHAMPION FOR A CLEAN ENVIRONMENT AND GOOD GOVERNANCE.
[WOODY HARRELSON]
“I REALIZE YOU PROBABLY HEARD A LOT OF BAD STUFF ABOUT HIM IN THESE LAST FEW YEARS. BUT WHAT IF THE BAD STUFF YOU’VE HEARD WASN’T EVEN TRUE.”
[KARAH RUCKER]
THE ADD ALSO INTENDS TO HUMANIZE R-F-K JUNIOR.
[WOODY HARRELSON]
“HE’S A SURFER. HE’S A FALCONER. HE’S A ROCK CLIMBER. HE’S A RIVER RAFTER. HE’S A HUNTER. HE’S AN OUTDOORSMAN.”
[KARAH RUCKER]
KENNEDY’S SKEPTICISM ON VACCINATIONS AND ALLEGATIONS OF GOVERNMENT OVERREACH, HIGHLIGHTED IN THE AD, GAINED TRACTION DURING THE PANDEMIC.
BUT LED TO HIS ACCOUNT BEING REMOVED.

HIS SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT WAS REINSTATED LAST YEAR AFTER HE BECAME A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.

KENNEDY’S STRATEGY INCLUDES LEGAL ACTION, HIRING CONSULTANTS AND GRASSROOTS VOLUNTEERS TO GATHER SIGNATURES FOR PETITIONS.
EACH STATE PRESENTS DIFFERENT OBSTACLES, WITH VARIED RULES FOR GETTING ON THE BALLOT.
RECENT SUCCESSES IN MICHIGAN AND HAWAII SHOWS SOME PROGRESS.
BUT THE KENNEDY CAMPAIGN HAS ACCUSED THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF INTERFERENCE TO KEEP THEM OFF THE BALLOT.
