Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign manager announced on Wednesday that a New York campaign staff member, Rita Palma, was fired after making controversial statements at a meeting last week. Palma reportedly told GOP voters that preventing President Joe Biden's victory was her 'number one priority' and encouraged them to volunteer for former President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania.
The campaign manager, Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, stated that Palma was terminated for misrepresentation as she provided inaccurate information about her job title and described a conversation that did not occur. Palma confirmed her dismissal and expressed her continued support for Kennedy, calling the focus on her comments a 'distraction.'
