And then there's this asshat:

"The buck stops here" is apparently unknown in the RFK campaign. This appears to have been a transparent ploy to peel some MAGAts into his camp. I won't vote for any politician who doesn't clearly condemn the insurrection and its perpetrators.
Quote:Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the independent candidate running for president, sent out a fundraising email Thursday that called the defendants who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, “activists,” but his team later backtracked, saying it was an error.
The emails, sent to his supporters Thursday, said WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is a “political prisoner” and suggested that he and Jan. 6 rioters are victims of an “outrageous miscarriage of justice.”
“The Brits want to make sure our government doesn’t kill Assange. This is the reality that every American Citizen faces – from Ed Snowden, to Julian Assange to the J6 activists sitting in a Washington DC jail cell stripped of their Constitutional liberties,” it said.
Kennedy campaign spokesperson Stephanie Spear said in a statement obtained by The Hill that the email’s language was an error.
“That statement was an error that does not reflect Mr. Kennedy’s views,” Spear’s statement said, first reported by NBC News. “It was inserted by a new marketing contractor and slipped through the normal approval process.”
