NEW: RFK Jr. statement on Jan. 6 following our scoop yesterday on his fundraising email calling J6ers "activists" deprived of constitutional rights.
RFK says he's not sure Jan. 6 was an insurrection and that he'll appoint a special prosecutor "to investigate whether prosecutorial discretion was abused for political ends in this case."
@aseitzwald Lying through his teeth when he says no weapobz and that Trump urged them to protest peacefully. This entire statement is a fraud from top to bottom and he’s obviously trying to appeal to Trump’s base of insurrectionists.
@aseitzwald @MattMurph24 He's going for MAGA votes. Great!
@aseitzwald @rpyers he’s still figuring out J6.. ooo-k then.
@aseitzwald He wants to hear "all sides"? We all saw what happened.
@aseitzwald @Mdixon55 I don’t see any alignment with Biden and the Dems. RFK is MAGA lite.
@aseitzwald RFK Jr. Reminds me of when democrats believed our Republic to be the vehicle to accomplish greatness rather an impediment to their power.
@aseitzwald Terribly unfortunate RFK did not mention the sham committee hearings gaveled in by his former (wink, wink) party. Had he called out that charade, his statement would’ve held more gravitas.
