Police said an armed man was arrested after entering a campaign event in Los Angeles for Democratic presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. on Friday claiming to be a U.S. Marshal.
The man was taken into custody at the campaign event by the candidate’s private security detail and then detained until officers from the Los Angeles Police Department arrived, according to Politico, citing the Los Angeles Police Department. Kennedy has been unable to obtain Secret Service protection despite repeated requests to the Biden administration, with the presidential hopeful claiming that he is the first presidential candidate in history to be denied a request for Secret Service protection, according to a statement from Kennedy on Twitter Friday.
“I’m very grateful that alert and fast-acting protectors from Gavin de Becker and Associates (GDBA) spotted and detained an armed man who attempted to approach me at my Hispanic Heritage speech at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles tonight,” Kennedy posted on Twitter.
The man was reportedly in possession of two loaded pistols and spare ammunition magazines that he was wearing in shoulder holsters while trying to pass as a U.S. Marshal using a marshal badge on a lanyard and a belt clip with a federal ID, according to the Twitter post. The man allegedly identified himself as part of the candidate’s security detail before being detained.

“I’m also grateful to LAPD for its rapid response,” Kennedy said on Twitter. “I’m still entertaining a hope that President Biden will allow me Secret Service protection.”
Kennedy currently has 11.9% support in the Real Clear Politics poll average for the Democratic presidential primary compared to Biden’s 66.7%, according to polls conducted between Aug. 17 and Sep. 19.
The Los Angeles Police Department did not immediately respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Believe it or not, today’s high priests of climate-change apocalypse are correct in predicting that in just a few short years, the earth will become miserable, wretched and almost uninhabitable by human beings. But the grim future they envision won’t come about because of “catastrophic climate change,” but rather, because of the implementation of their completely insane and truly catastrophic agenda.
As Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore recently admitted, “If they actually achieve Net Zero, at least 50% of the population would die of hunger and disease.” Likewise, writes energy expert and author Alex Epstein: “Today’s proposed policies to rapidly eliminate fossil fuel use would, if fully implemented, have truly apocalyptic consequences – making the world an impoverished, dangerous, and miserable place for most people.”
Question: When the scientific case for global warming apocalypse consists primarily of a 1-degree Celsius rise in temperature over more than 130 years, what explains the obsession with an imminent, climate-caused end of the world?
Although many groups have been drawn into the Climate Change Cult – from the news media (which has warned of climate catastrophe, either global warming or a “new ice age,” for over a century!), to innocent school kids indoctrinated by hysterical leftist teachers, to liberal Democrats who claim “climate change” will destroy the earth in a few years – the REAL villains are the national and global elites who KNOW the apocalyptic global warming religion is just a cruel hoax, but promote and exploit it as a means of accomplishing their ultimate goal: Transforming and ruling the world.
The heart and soul of today’s bizarre, pagan climate-change religion, and the global elites’ strategies for using it to rule all of mankind, is powerfully exposed and illuminated in the September issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, an issue titled “CULT OF THE CLIMATE APOCALYPSE: The elites’ breathtaking strategy for ruling the world.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
