WASHINGTON, D.C. – In response to the New York Supreme Court’s decision to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from the ballot for turning in fraudulent petitions that relied on a false address, MoveOn Political Action spokesperson Britt Jacovich issued the following statement: 

“The courts are recognizing what voters are catching onto: RFK Jr. is a fraud. He knows he’ll never have a chance to win, but he and his MAGA donors are attempting to mislead voters to sway the election to Trump.”

Background:

• RFK Jr.‘s campaign is supported by Trump’s largest donor, in order to siphon support away from Vice President Harris and hand the White House back to Trump. 

• Racist billionaire Timothy Mellon contributed $20 million to RFK Jr.‘s Super PAC.

• RFK Jr. is a dangerous conspiracy theorist who has supported a 15-week abortion ban and doesn’t believe we need any more gun safety measures to protect our communities.

• RFK Jr. is running a failing campaign and needs to buy his way onto the ballot. He chose millionaire Nicole Shanahan as his VP, an anti-IVF conspiracy theorist who has donated millions to a Super PAC supporting Kennedy Jr.

• RFK Jr. has relied on desperate and deceptive measures to gain ballot access. 

  • In Delaware, RFK Jr. is working with the Independent Party of Delaware (IPD), which has known ties to extremist, right-wing individuals. Its vice chairman, Phil Dyer, attended the riot at the Capitol on January 6 and recently called for another. 

  • RFK Jr. is also working with the Natural Law Party of Michigan, which nominated him at a two-person convention led by a part-time magician, while leaders from the same party’s Florida branch called RFK Jr.’s campaign “scammers.” 

• Trump allies have publicly stated they are plotting to spoil the election against the Harris ticket by backing third-party candidates, including RFK Jr., Stein, and West.
