Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. had some harsh words for President Biden and the Democratic Party following former President Trump being found guilty in his New York City criminal trial on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Kennedy, a thorn in the side of Democrats who are worried he might derail Biden\u2019s chances at winning re-election, wrote in a post on X that the verdict would ultimately \u2018backfire\u2019 and accused his former party of attempting to destroy democracy.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Democratic Party\u2019s strategy is to beat President Trump in the courtroom rather than the ballot box. This will backfire in November. Even worse, it is profoundly undemocratic,\u2019 Kennedy wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018America deserves a President who can win at the ballot box without compromising our government\u2019s separation of powers or weaponizing the courts. You can\u2019t save democracy by destroying it first,\u2019 he wrote. \u2018The Democrats are afraid they will lose in the voting booth, so instead they go after President Trump in the courtroom.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kennedy said the difference between his campaign and efforts by Democrats to take down Trump through the judicial system was that he was challenging the latter on his record as president, including on the coronavirus pandemic, his environmental record and his \u2018support for the war machine.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018These are the issues that shape American lives. I\u2019ll challenge him on these things, but the Democrats won\u2019t. You know why? Because they pursue the very same policies.\u2019<\/p>\n

Shortly after the verdict against Trump was handed down, Kennedy responded to an interview question live on X about a \u2018convicted felon\u2019 running for office, and whether that was something he supported. He responded that the only constitutional requirements to be president were the minimum age requirement, being a citizen and being born in the U.S.<\/p>\n

\u2018Technically, if you were in prison, convicted of murder or some other crime, you could still hold the office of President of the United States,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n

Trump was found guilty on all counts in his historic and unprecedented criminal trial, making him the first former president of the United States to be convicted of a crime.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree.<\/p>\n

Trump pleaded not guilty to all counts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
