Don't take this as my opinion, only hearsay, because American politics is way over my head and I don't follow it, but someone I know does follow this and told me all about it and is supporting this guy, so this is roughly what they have to say on it (but don't ask me go deeper, because as I said it's over my head). Basically they see him as anti-establishment in meaningful ways to them, but that he has been repeatedly frustrated by the Democrats, so this decision is apparently a practical/pragmatic decision to get him a high up but useful position in a Trump government (and/or say fuck you to the Democrats). So the person I know, who usually wouldn't touch Trump with a barge pole, is now finding themselves in an awkward position of wanting to potentially support Trump on account of this; as a means to an end. So yeah, that's all I know about this, but thought it perhaps worth it to share this other perspective.
Kennedy also reached out to the Harris campaign - he’s only ‘frustrated by the Democrats’ because he’s so batshit crazy that none of them will hire him.
This man wouldn’t know a principle if it kicked him in the teeth.
