"RFK Jr.'s Campaign Controversy: Sympathy for Jan. 6 Protesters Retracted"

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. disavows a fundraising email that referred to Jan. 6 protesters as "activists" stripped of their "constitutional liberties," blaming the message on a third-party vendor. The email, titled "We Must Free Assange!" also expressed support for whistleblowers Julian Assange and Edward Snowden. Kennedy's campaign spokesperson stated that the email did not reflect Kennedy's views and that the campaign has terminated its contract with the vendor responsible. Kennedy has previously advocated for pardoning Snowden and Assange, emphasizing the need to protect free speech and truth-tellers.

Ron DeSantis dismisses Jan. 6 as a non-insurrection event

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis downplayed the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, referring to it as a "protest" that "ended up devolving." He rejected the notion that it was an insurrection and criticized the media for spinning the narrative. Over 1,000 people have been charged with federal crimes related to the Capitol riot, with more than 600 pleading guilty. DeSantis has previously made similar comments dismissing the attack as an insurrection and has emphasized the need to move forward rather than dwell on the past.
