Just hours after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shocked the political world by suspending his independent presidential campaign and endorsing Donald Trump, a bombshell accusation dropped. Kurt Andersen, a well-known author and RFK Jr.’s former classmate, alleged that the Kennedy scion sold him cocaine while they were both students at Harvard in the 1970s.
The ranks are closing with the DNC’s front line warriors, the media.
The timing of this revelation, hitting the media airwaves almost immediately after RFK Jr.’s controversial endorsement, has sparked intense speculation that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) might be pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Let’s be honest—selling cocaine in high school isn’t even close to the worst thing a Kennedy has been accused of. But the way this story has been handled raises some serious questions. Within hours of RFK Jr.’s endorsement of Trump, major media outlets like The Atlantic and The Daily Beast began running with the story, all echoing Andersen’s claims. This has led to whispers that the DNC’s influence is once again in full swing, using its media machine to take down a potential threat.
This isn’t the first time the DNC has been accused of wielding its power to quash dissent within its ranks. Remember the 2020 primaries? Joe Biden’s sudden surge in endorsements after a lackluster start to his campaign had many wondering whether the party was manipulating events to ensure their preferred candidate took the nomination. Fast forward to 2024, and it’s hard not to draw parallels.
RFK Jr., once a darling of the left for his environmental advocacy, has become something of a political pariah. His flirtations with conspiracy theories and alignment with Trump have made him a target, and this latest scandal feels like a well-timed hit job.
The story could easily have been buried or ignored, given the decades that have passed since the alleged events. Instead, it was amplified at the most politically damaging moment.
For a party that claims to value democracy and fairness, the DNC’s actions—if they are indeed involved—reveal a win-at-all-costs mentality.
Whether or not RFK Jr. sold cocaine at Harvard is almost beside the point. The real issue is how quickly and efficiently the DNC-aligned media moved to capitalize on it, sending a clear message to anyone who might dare to break ranks.
