Former Democrat and now-Independent candidate for President -- Robert F. Kennedy Jr., posted on X about the White House denying him Secret Service protection. 

During the 35 years that I’ve known Joe Biden, he’s always demonstrated his core decency. He has shown his affection and esteem for my family by displaying a bust of my father in the Oval Office. 

I suspect that the White House decision to deny me Secret Service protection — and many other more important decisions — are being made, not by the President himself, but by the anonymous men in lanyards who now seem to be running our government.

It seems like Kennedy is saying Biden is not running the country. 

... and many other more important decisions — are being made, not by the President himself, but by the anonymous men in lanyards who now seem to be running our government.

Although Kennedy did not specify nor give any names of who he thinks is running the country, it's clear that he does not think Biden is the one running it. 

He is not the only one saying that Biden is not running the country. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) told Fox News host Sean Hannity in March 2023. 

Sean, the sad truth is the socialists are in charge of the White House. Biden certainly isn't, but the people he surrounded himself with have a very simple approach to everything: they want to spend money they don’t have [and] they want to raise taxes on you.

When Biden does not know his own Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's name, that doesn't help his case.

Biden is trying to appease the far left when it comes to student debt cancellation, as well as border and climate policies. It's worth noting that when Biden was in the Senate, he voted to pass The Secure Fence Act of 2006. 

Former President George W. Bush said:

This bill will help protect the American people. This bill will make our borders more secure. It is an important step toward immigration reform.

Now, Biden approaches immigration policies very differently than he did when he was in the Senate, and that could very well be because he is being pressured by the far left. So who is calling the shots? Kennedy has a right to question it. 

Kennedy ran in the Democrat primary until he realized that the DNC was not going to give him a fair shot at defeating Biden, so he decided to drop out of the race and run as an Independent.

His favorability rating is the highest among those running for president. Per the poll, 52 percent surveyed said they have a favorable opinion of him. Due to the Kennedy family history, there is cause for concern for RFK Jr.'s safety, yet the White House denied him Secret Service protection.
