RFK Jr. super PAC has deep ties to MAGA figures including Marjorie Taylor Greene: report
RFK Jr says he takes 'precautions' to avoid being assassinated like his uncle
June 23, 2023
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s supporters created a super PAC last month called "Heal the Divide," touting the 2024 presidential candidate as the only one who can "unite the Nation to start healing America."
But, while RFK Jr. is running as a Democratic, the PAC's founders have "deep ties" to far-right Trump-supporting Republicans, Rolling Stone reported.
According to Federal Election Commission filings reviewed by Rolling Stone, Jason D. Boles of RTA Strategy is the group's treasurer. In 2022, Marjorie Taylor Greene's campaign and leadership PAC, Save America Stop Socialism paid RTA Strategy more than $372,000 for work on her 2022 congressional race.
The firm also worked for Republican candidate Herschel Walker in his failed 2022 Senate race in Georgia.
Rolling Stone reports that other MAGA figures are backing RFK Jr.'s run against Biden.
"MAGA influencers and longtime Trump associates such as Roger Stone have praised Kennedy’s candidacy as a way to 'soften Joe Biden up,'" Rolling Stone's report stated. "Former top Trump political adviser and campaign strategist Steve Bannon also reportedly spent “months” encouraging Kennedy to run in order to energize anti-vaxxers who make up much of Trump’s base, according to CBS News."
"Whether he wants pro-Trump support or not — he’s certainly getting it," writes Rolling Stone's Adam Rawnsley and Asawin Suebsaeng.
