Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. visits"The Faulkner Focus" at Fox News Channel Studios on June 2, 2023, in New York City. Kennedy said during a town hall hosted by NewsNation on Wednesday that he felt"proud" to earn the praise of former President Donald Trump.."So, whether you're conservative or liberal, common sense is common sense."
When asked his opinion on"what kind of man" he finds Trump to be, Kennedy told Vargas that he was"not going to attack other people personally" during his campaign.Kennedy went on to speak about his late father, former U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, who was fatally shot during his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1968.
"So, I'm proud that President Trump likes me, even though I don't agree with him on most of these issues," he continued."Because I don't want to alienate people, I want to bring people together. I'm proud that all these people like me and that I have independent supporters and Democratic supporters."
"Every Democrat says, 'I want to end the polarization," Kennedy added."But how do you do that without talking to people who don't agree with you? How do you do that without appealing to people? My purpose is to find the issues, the values that we have in common other than focus on the issues and the personalities that keep us all apart."
