Robert F. Kennedy Jr. went on a tirade against Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday shortly after reportedly attempting to meet with her about a potential job.

Harris and her advisers have not responded to Kennedy regarding his interest in a possible position in the administration if he endorses her ahead of the 2024 election, according to The Washington Post. Kennedy said in an “X” post on Thursday that he does not plan to endorse Harris, arguing that the current Democratic Party’s ideology is misaligned with that of his uncle and father, former President John F. Kennedy and former U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy.

“VP Harris’s Democratic Party would be unrecognizable to my father and uncle and I cannot reconcile it with my values,” Kennedy wrote. “The Democratic Party of RFK and JFK was the party of civil liberties and free speech. VP Harris‘s is the party of censorship, lockdowns, and medical coercion. Kennedy Democrats were anti-war. Kamala‘s is riddled with neocon warmongers. The RFK/JFK dems were allies of Main Street, cops, firefighters, and working people. VP Harris’s is the Party of Big Tech, Big Pharma and Wall Street.”

Kennedy further accused Harris of being afraid to debate or face the media due to being unable to “survive an unscripted interview.” Harris has not held a press conference or participated in a sit-down interview in the last 25 days since she launched her campaign.

“My father and uncle prided themselves on their skills at debate and their ability to articulate a coherent vision for our country,” Kennedy continued. “VP Harris is scared to debate and can’t survive an unscripted interview. Instead of outlining a vision, she relies on middleschool tactics – memes, forged headlines, infantile slogans (Joy!) and name calling (“Republicans are weird.“) I’ve spent years battling government corruption and lies. VP Harris spent years gaslighting Americans about the health of our Commander in Chief.”

“I have no plans to endorse Kamala Harris for President. I do have a plan to defeat her,” he concluded.

Kennedy said Harris’ campaign is making a “strategic mistake” by not scheduling a meeting with him, according to The Washington Post.

“I think it is a strategic mistake for them. That’s my perspective,” Kennedy said. “I think they ought to be looking at every opportunity. I think it is going to be a very close race.”

Kennedy reportedly met with Republican nominee Donald Trump in mid-July to discuss a possible endorsement in exchange for a position advising the former president on health policy. The meeting did not result in any job offer or endorsement, though Trump campaign advisers told the Post they are still in touch with Kennedy and his campaign.

Kennedy is not currently intending to drop out of the race and is planning to hold rallies in Nebraska and Arizona, according to The Washington Post. His advisers said Kennedy is considering his exit from the race if he finds another way to bring change to the nation.

The independent candidate has attempted to convince Democratic voters he is a better fit for the party’s nomination than Biden, the Post reported. Kennedy’s daughter-in-law and campaign manager, Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, argued in an April email to Democrats that Biden could not win the race.

“As things are, Biden is going to lose. If Bobby were to drop out, Trump would win by an additional two states,” she wrote. “If Biden were to drop out, Trump would lose. Only Bobby can win this,” she wrote, according to The Washington Post.

Biden dropped out of the race on July 21 and endorsed Harris after several members of his party questioned his ability to win re-election.

Kennedy currently holds 5% support in national polling as of Thursday, according to FiveThirtyEight.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
