At some point, he added, he hopes, “that he will have the courage to stand up” to talk about the issue and prevent “attacks on the Constitution occur again.” “We need to teach a lesson in civility to the American people to make sure this never happens again.”he pointed out.
But Kennedy Jr. did not refer in his words to the possible attacks on the Constitution for which Trump is going to be tried for the 2021 assault on the Capitol, the illegal retention of government documents or his alleged electoral interference. He didn’t even mention them.
The controversial politician, who does not have the support of any member of the Kennedy saga, alluded with his call to the fact that Trump ignored, in his opinion, the Constitution during the pandemic, one of the independent candidate’s favorite topics.

“I don’t remember any part of the Constitution of USA “where there is an exemption (to rights) during pandemics,” noted the politician, who assured that when Trump left the presidency, “the attack on the Constitution intensified” with Biden.
“If you value your freedom, it is better that you choose leaders who are inspired and exercise it to inspire others, leaders who believe in freedoms and have the Bill of Rights as a reference. I’m sorry to say that neither President Trump nor President Biden pass the test and neither has helped the Constitution when it was really needed”he added.
Kennedy will not be the only presidential candidate at this Libertarian Party convention, since Trump also appears on the agenda, who will appear this Saturday.
