Independent presidential candidate and abuser of baby bear corpses, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has been disqualified from appearing on New York's general election ballot, with a judge ruling that he falsely claimed a New York residence.
Judge Christina Ryba called out Kennedy's claim as a "false statement," stating that it was clear he had no intent on moving back to New York and listed the residence for political gain.
"The overwhelming credible evidence introduced at trial established that Kennedy's connections with the [New York] address existed only on paper and were maintained for the sole purpose of maintaining his voter registration and political standing in the State of New York," Ryba wrote.
In court, Kennedy testified that he has seen New York as his home since childhood and did intend to return at some point. You see, he'd been chilling in California with his wife since 2014, but says he was renting a room at a woman's home in New York.
In a statement, presumably mailed from California, the Kennedy campaign condemned the decision as an "openly partisan ruling."
"The ruling came in spite of the fact that Kennedy is registered to vote in New York, New York has been his primary residence since 1964, he pays taxes in New York, he has a New York driver's license, his legal license and law practice is in New York, and his falconry license and other recreational licenses are in New York," the statement said.
I do love the inclusion of his falconry license.
"We intend to pursue injunctive relief in the Southern District of New York. If state court judges are going to ignore the Constitution, the federal courts must step in to protect voters' rights," said campaign Senior Counsel Paul Rossi.
A DNC spokesperson described RFK Jr. as a "deeply troubled, reckless, and dangerous man" who "doesn't think the rules apply to him and he refuses to consider the consequences of his actions."
Hunter, is that you?
