Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. hit back hard at former President Donald Trump in a tweet posted Saturday afternoon.
The fierce, no-holds-barred attack came after Trump unleashed a barrage of vitriol at RFK Jr. in Truth Social posts published Friday.
Responding a day later on the social media platform X, RFK Jr. unleashed by challenging Trump to a debate.
Look:
When frightened men take to social media they risk descending into vitriol, which makes them sound unhinged. President Trump’s rant against me is a barely coherent barrage of wild and inaccurate claims that should best be resolved in the American tradition of presidential debate.…

“When frightened men take to social media they risk descending into vitriol, which makes them sound unhinged,” his post began. “President Trump’s rant against me is a barely coherent barrage of wild and inaccurate claims that should best be resolved in the American tradition of presidential debate.”
“President Trump, who has proven himself the most adept debater in modern American political history, should not be panicked to meet me on that stage,” he added.
RFK Jr. continued his clapback by accusing Trump of having done this, that, and a third.
“To preview my arguments, I will show how President Trump betrayed the hopes of his most sincere followers,” he wrote. “He promised to end the Ukraine war and then colluded with Speaker Johnson and President Biden to fund it. He let Big Pharma and his corrupt bureaucrats run roughshod over him as President.”
“He promised to cut the deficit and ran up the biggest debt in history. He promised to run the government like a business and then closed down our businesses. He promised to drain the swamp and then filled his administration with swamp creatures. He promised to protect our rights and then torpedoed the Constitution,” he added.
He concluded the post by once again challenging Trump to a debate.
“Instead of lobbing poisonous bombs from the safety of his bunker, let’s hear President Trump defend his record to me mano-a-mano by respectful, congenial debate,” he wrote.
Unfortunately for RFK Jr., his clapback prompted 100x more clapbacks from Trump supporters enraged by coming after the Don.
Look:
You’re just gonna have to accept you’re completely lost here! Trumps way out of your league radical leftie!

Boy, sit down. You aren’t even in this race. The only support you’ve garnered are some disgruntled Democrats disguised as DeSantis supporters. Your own family doesn’t support you.

You’ve spent a lifetime advocating far-left policy and chose an extremely far-left liberal running mate for VP.
I’ll choose to trust you are who your choices say YOU are: A leftist. #Trump2024

You can’t disprove or poke any holes in what Donald Trump said about you because it’s all true.
You’re a far leftist who believes in woke bull shit and a flip flopper who isn’t honest about his stances. We won’t let you hide it from anyone.

You can’t refute a single thing in President Trump’s statement because you are on the record supporting extreme left-wing positions: no limits on abortion, banning guns, reparations, banning fossil fuels, mandating electric vehicles, and government mortgages.

In Trump’s Truth Social posts published Friday, he accused RFK Jr. of being a “Democrat Plant” who’s being used by the Democrat Party to boost President Joe Biden in the 2024 race.
“A Vote for Junior’ would essentially be a WASTED PROTEST VOTE, that could swing either way, but would only swing against the Democrats if Republicans knew the true story about him,” he wrote.
And what exactly is the “true story?” According to Trump, it’s that, despite Kennedy’s beef with the Democrat Party, he’s still nevertheless a complete, unadulterated lefty.
“Junior’ is totally Anti-Gun, an Extreme Environmentalist who makes the Green New Scammers look Conservative, a Big Time Taxer and Open Border Advocate, and Anti-Military/Vet,” Trump explained.

Trump also briefly went after Kennedy’s admittedly backstabbing family, writing, “His Radicalized Family will never allow him to be a Republican.”
He wasn’t wrong. Earlier this very month, 15 members of his extended family all endorsed President Biden during a recent campaign event in Philadelphia.
“President Biden has been a champion for all the rights and freedoms that my father and uncles stood for,” RFK Jr.’s sister, Kerry Kennedy, said during the event.
