RFK Jr. Announces VP Pick Is Tech Entrepreneur Who Has Given His Campaign a Lot of Money

Chris Clem, who often appears in the press to promote border walls at the US-Mexico border and other more stringent border security measures, spoke about his shared desire with Kennedy to secure the border.

Then, Calley Means claimed that both “the media” and many politicians are funded by pharmaceutical companies and thus incentivized to promote. “Less SSRIs,” he declared, in one representative soundbite. “More sunlight and healthy food.”

“We need a president who questions the science,” he added.

Finally, after several more speakers, videos, and performances, including a dirge-like rendition of Woody Guthrie’s “This Land is Your Land” by singer Tim Hockenberry and a florid “America the Beautiful” by singer Mika Hale, Kennedy’s wife, the actor Cheryl Hines, took the stage to introduce her husband.

Hines has occupied an awkward space for years with regards to her husband’s anti-vaccine activism, which she was eventually forced to comment upon and disavow when Kennedy, at an anti-COVID mandates rally, intimated that vaccine mandates had been worse than the Holocaust.

Onstage at the announcement, Hines struck a more conventional tone of a political spouse, telling the crowd that Kennedy would bring the country together. “America listening,” she said, adding that the nation “is inspired.”

In his speech, as he’s done throughout his campaign, Kennedy again leaned heavily on his family legacy, recounting how his father, Robert Kennedy, had a “rancorous” meeting with local NAACP and Black Panther leaders in Oakland, which eventually led to their political support and the Black Panthers providing security for the Kennedy campaign. (His father was assassinated in 1968 by shooter Sirhan Sirhan, during his own run for president.)

Kennedy then finally, at long last, announced Shanahan as his pick. “She has used cutting edge technology, including AI, to calculate the catastrophic health consequences of toxins” in the nation’s food, air, and water. He also said she “shares my indignation” at Big Tech’s role in the surveillance of Americans.

Over the last few weeks, the Kennedy campaign teased several other VP choices, most notably NFL player Aaron Rodgers and former Minnesota governor turned media figure Jesse Ventura. These picks seemed engineered to appeal to a young male voter base, and who, like Kennedy, have promoted and spread conspiracy theories. But, on March 16, Mediaite reported that Shanahan was Kennedy’s pick, citing sources close to the campaign. That source also told the outlet that Shanahan could help fund Kennedy’s efforts to get on more state’s ballots, but added, “she lacks the qualifications to actually do the job.”

In recent months, the DNC has also mounted their pushback against Kennedy as a spoiler candidate and a boon to Trump. In a call with reporters, according to CNN, a DNC adviser called RFK “a stalking horse” being “propped up” by Trump and his donors.

“Our campaign is a spoiler,” Kennedy said, to cheers. “I agree with that. It’s a spoiler for President Biden and for President Trump. It’s a spoiler for the war machine” as well as other targets including “Big Ag and Big Pharma.” Millions of people, he said, might elect not to vote at all rather than choose between the “two tired heads of the uniparty.”

“Nicole and I,” he added, “are going to give those millions another choice.”
