One of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s top donors is a longtime funder of far-left socialist groups and Communist Party sympathizers, according to records.
Abby Rockefeller, the great-granddaughter of John D. Rockefeller, gave $100,000 to Democratic presidential candidate Kennedy’s super PAC, American Values 2024, according to campaign finance records. For decades, Rockefeller and her husband, writer Lee Halprin, have also helped bankroll socialist newspapers, conferences, and the Democratic Socialists of America political party.
The news comes as many Republicans have embraced Kennedy and his gadfly primary campaign against President Joe Biden.
[I wouldn’t call RFK a Trojan horse, because he’s never been terribly shy about his own far-Left wackiness. But he’s doing his best to get Republican sympathy for his campaign against Biden. As long as Republicans understand that he’s a nut, no biggie, but some seem to be taking RFK a little too seriously. — Ed]
