RFK Jr. on Biden admin denying him Secret Service protection

ummmm ...

United States Secret Service

Who Receives Protection?​

The Secret Service does not determine who qualifies for protection, nor is the Secret Service empowered to independently initiate candidate protection.

Under 18 U.S.C.' 3056(a)(7), "[m]ajor Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates," as identified by the Secretary of Homeland Security, are eligible for Secret Service protection.

Title 18 U.S.C.' 3056(a)(7) authorizes the U.S. Secret Service to provide protection for major Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates:

  • Protection is authorized by the DHS Secretary after consultation with the Congressional Advisory Committee;
  • The Congressional Advisory Committee includes: Speaker of the House, House Minority Leader, Senate Majority Leader, Senate Minority Leader, and one additional member selected by the others;
  • Protection under these guidelines should only be granted within one year prior to the general election. Protection more than one year prior to the general election should only be granted in extraordinary, case by case circumstances in consultation with the committee, based on threat assessment and other factors.
Criteria have been established to assist the DHS Secretary and the advisory committee in their decision making (as of 2017).

Campaign 2024 - Candidate Protection

biden has ZERO to do with SS protection.
.

He mentions others that ran early and were granted protection. Its very telling your resident doesn't show some courtesy none of you do
 
He mentions in the video why you're wrong

You can listen to the video if that helps you justify your bitching.

Me? I prefer to look at what the regulations actually say about who does and doesn't get SS protection, and currently, RFK doesn't qualify. Not only is he not a major candidate (he'd have to win his party's nomination first), but the election is in November 2024. The regs say that the SS will provide protection 120 days out from the general election (which would make it sometime in July of next year). There is zero reason for RFK to have protection right now. Especially since he's just a candidate seeking the nomination and hasn't received it yet.

That's how we all know rfk junior is running as a conservative fuckup.

He is playing the victim.

RFK is twisting the narrative to bitch about not getting SS protection.

Yes. Edward Kennedy received SS protection early, but there were extenuating circumstances with that one, since he'd already had 2 relatives who had been assassinated.


President Carter ordered the Secret Service yesterday to provide immediate protection for Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D.Mass.), whose consideration of a presidential campaign has raised the fear of an assassination attempt such as those that struck down two of his brothers.

Secret Service agents began guarding Kennedy at about 6 p.m. yesterday, shortly after Carter issued the order, and will continue to do so for an indefinite time, according to government officials.


And, McCain didn't start receiving SS protection until AFTER he'd clinched his parties nomination.


McCain, 71, who has clinched his party’s nomination to run against the Democrats’ choice in the November election, told Fox he has not requested a detail until now because “it inhibits my ability to have close contact with people.”

The Secret Service protects the U.S. president and his family, some former presidents and leading presidential candidates.


As far as RFK bitching about the 120 day rule? It's written in the Secret Service regulations, which have already been posted.

RFK is bitching about nothing, and you people who hate Biden anyway are using this as another reason to bitch about him. RFK is counting on people to not do any research and simply believe him so they can bitch about Biden.
