Today, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s campaign released a statement — his second in two days — attempting to explain away his remarks on January 6th. As he’s done repeatedly in interviews and public comments, he minimized the violent insurrection on the capitol on January 6th. In response, DNC Spokesperson Matt Corridoni said the following: 

“After hours of negative press coverage, RFK Jr. used hundreds of words to both-sides the January 6th insurrection. There aren’t two sides to violent rioters who assaulted police officers and tried to overthrow our democracy. Time and again, RFK Jr. has proven he’s a spoiler for Donald Trump, whether it’s having his candidacy propped up by Trump’s largest donor or providing cover for Trump by downplaying the seriousness of January 6th.”
