Democrats concerned about RFK Jr.’s attendance at Libertarian event.

The New Hampshire Democratic Party Urges Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to Cancel Appearance at PorcFest

The New Hampshire Democratic Party is facing disappointment as President Joe Biden is unlikely to be on the state’s primary ticket. In addition, they have publicly urged Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to cancel his appearance at PorcFest, one of the biggest libertarian events in the country.

“We respect your dedication to public service and your family’s irreplaceable role in the history of our Republic. However, we must express our serious disappointment and grave concerns about your planned participation in this event,” wrote Ray Buckley, chairman of the N.H. Democratic Party.

Kennedy, scheduled to give a two-hour speech at PorcFest, responded sharply to Buckley’s letter, accusing the “Democratic Party Bosses” of censorship and attempting to control the outcome of the primaries.

“The Democratic Party Bosses who promote censorship, who have stripped New Hampshire of its rightful First in the Nation primary status, who have shut down debate, who refuse to campaign in New Hampshire, are in no position to tell me who to talk to. I’m going to speak at Porcfest because I believe in freedom, unity, healing the divide, and truth. #LiveFreeorDie,” Kennedy posted on Twitter.

Free State Project and PorcFest

PorcFest, also known as The Porcupine Freedom Festival, is sponsored by the Free State Project. The event aims to attract like-minded libertarians to settle in New Hampshire and encourages progressives to leave the state. The group strongly supports the Second Amendment.

The week-long campout, which began on June 19 in Lancaster, features over 1,000 events spread out over 100 different mini-sites called “hubs.” Kennedy is set to deliver a two-hour speech at the festival’s pavilion.

Head organizer Dennis Pratt expects Kennedy to be one of the biggest draws in the festival’s 20-year history. Despite the condition that the pavilion be gun-free during his speech, Pratt anticipates a crowd of at least 3,000 this year.

Kennedy, who has expressed concerns about being targeted by the CIA, plans to take necessary precautions when speaking in public.

New Hampshire Republican Carla Gericke believes that Buckley’s letter to Kennedy stems from fear of his growing popularity among both parties and independent voters.

Gericke is aware of a movement by Republicans to vote in the Democratic primaries, aiming to give Kennedy a win over Biden for the Democratic party nomination for president.

She believes that Kennedy’s anti-vax views, which some of his own family members have denounced, actually benefit him as a candidate.

Gericke sees Kennedy’s appearances on platforms like Twitter Space and the Joe Rogan show as contributing to his popularity and the “fight back” movement.
