Robert F. Kennedy Jr. took to Twitter Friday to complain that his request for secret service protection has been denied. “Since the assassination of my father in 1968, candidates for president are provided Secret Service protection,” he tweeted. “But not me.”
Kennedy wants special treatment and taxpayer-funded security, and he’s shameless enough to invoke his father’s assassination to get it, which just adds to how much of an asshole he is. At any rate, there’s nothing unusual in the denial of his request. In fact, granting it would be a departure from standard practice.
