Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is facing fierce criticism from Republicans over resurfaced video comments where he claimed individuals in red states are more likely to commit heinous crimes and “murder you.” RFK Jr.’s remarks, made at a 2005 IdeaCity speech, have drawn condemnation from several Republican members of Congress, who have accused him of making “divisive attacks” against red state America. RFK Jr. has defended his comments, arguing that he used criteria “that most of us use to judge morality” to determine that blue states are more moral than red states.
