I get the impression he’s been in constant fear of being assassinated ever since the election

Poor baby. The rest of us are afraid of not being able to afford food, medical expenses, or housing. We'll just starve or not be able to afford medical care. If RFK lets us get any medical care.

He’s not carrying his kid around everywhere he goes because he’s a good father!

It's not carrying this kid around all over the place because he's got a military grade bulletproof vest.

Why do you think he wears his kid everywhere?  Little human shield.

This is why he keeps having children. Human shields. Seriously.

Just because he is paranoid doesn’t mean he’s wrong. And it’s only going to get worse with millions of unemployed Americans having too much time on their hands. He will have to sleep with one eye open and next to a body guard at all times. He’s lost his freedom and he deserves it.

I mean. He should be. Lots of ruined lives because of him. Some people might not take it laying down.
