Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign fired an employee after she misrepresented her role in the campaign and claimed that beating President Joe Biden in 2024 was the “No. 1 priority.”
The campaign director for Kennedy’s independent race claimed on Wednesday night they “immediately terminated” employee Rita Palma after a video of her comments on Biden came under scrutiny.
“We terminated her contract for misrepresentation immediately upon seeing the longer video in which she gave an inaccurate job title and described a conversation that did not happen,” Kennedy’s campaign director and daughter-in-law Amaryllis Fox Kennedy posted to X.
Christopher Webb, a Democrat, posted video clips of Palma’s remarks at the event last Friday, in which she appears to reveal that the plan is to take votes away from Biden, and acknowledges that it will ultimately benefit Trump.
Democrats are furious.

Palma noted they need to collect 45,000 signatures to get RFK on the ballot in New York, then bizarrely said, “because he’s not the current 2024 Democrat… he’s more of a classic liberal, classic Democrat from back in the 60’s, and they aren’t quite as ‘repulsive’ as what’s going on right now with the Democrat Party.”

Palma touted that when she was hired by the RFK campaign as the NY State Director, she told them upfront that part of her messaging is to get rid of Biden in New York State.

RFK Jr’s campaign predictably denied that Rita Palma’s the NYS director, but here she is explaining that she asked her “boss” for permission to explain the plan to deny Biden electoral votes or she wouldn’t take the job.#Spoiler4Trump pic.twitter.com/7OWngEINEx

On Monday, Amaryllis released the following statement:
As an Independent movement, our supporters, volunteers, and field organizers come from all sides of the political spectrum and their reasons for supporting Bobby are as disparate as their backgrounds.
Rita Palma was hired a couple of weeks ago as a ballot access consultant, responsible for scheduling volunteer shifts during our upcoming signature collection drive in the Empire State. She has no involvement in — or access to — electoral strategy, nationally or in New York.
The video circulating was not taken at a campaign event. Palma was speaking as a private citizen and her statements in no way reflect campaign strategy, the sole aim of which is to win the White House with votes from former Trump and Biden supporters alike.
We’re looking into whether any misrepresentations were made. Our campaign champions freedom of speech for all our supporters, volunteers, contractors and staff, as long as they do not claim to speak on our behalf.
Our leadership, staff and support base is chock full of former Bernie people, former West people, former Romney people, former Trump people, former Ron Paul people, and every nuance in between. While it may drive the media crazy that they cannot decide whom we pull from most, the subtext is that we finally have a leader speaking such common sense that it resonates with blue, red, and purple voters alike. What a healing prospect for our country to envision a President elected with an omni-partisan mandate.
By the way, the latest Emerson poll shows clearly that when RFK supporters are forced to choose between Biden and Trump, the majority choose Trump. The Democratic National Committee should be thanking us for closing the gap that they have failed to close themselves.
That said, we intend to defeat both Trump and Biden in November, so the question of which side contributed more votes will be purely academic.

One social media user, @metejtme, replied Wednesday evening, “@amaryllisfox, PLEASE distance yourselves from Rita Palma. I hope she is no longer working for the campaign but it appears she is. Her statement has hurt @RobertKennedyJr and continues to and she’s laughing about it. It’s making people question the legitimacy of his campaign. You’re correct that you could put any combination of the two contenders together and say the third is the enemy. She doesn’t have as unique or spectacular an idea as she thinks.”
Amaryllis responded, “We terminated her contract for misrepresentation immediately upon seeing the longer video in which she gave an inaccurate job title and described a conversation that did not happen.”

Democrats are also going into a tailspin over another RFK staffer, who expressed more right-leaning views, including calling out the BLM protests, speaking out against George Floyd, supporting Kyle Rittenhouse, and slamming the renaming of Aunt Jemima products.
