Kyle Kemper wants to do politics differently and has taken his unique approach to campaigning to help independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. south of the border.
How Kemper is helping RFK
Canadians know Kemper best for being Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s half-brother but he’s making a name for himself in the United States as a lead activator on the RFK campaign.
In an exclusive interview, The Counter Signal spoke to Kemper about his decision to help the presidential underdog make it to the White House and take on the political establishment in Washington D.C.
“We’ve been to over 30 states in the last year meeting Americans where they are and trying to engage in discussion and discourse and create awareness that Bobby’s running,” said Kemper.
Trump asked RFK to serve
In his speech, Kennedy admitted that Trump had asked him to serve in his administration. Kennedy was an outspoken critic of Covid-19 lockdowns and vaccine mandates during the pandemic. The independent candidate has made health a key platform policy.
He has pledged to confront America’s chronic disease epidemic via preventative measures. Furthermore, he wants to target toxic chemicals, pollution, and ultra-processed foods.
Kennedy plans to overhaul the federal medical research budget, prioritizing chronic disease prevention, and will challenge the corrupting influence of Big Pharma and Wall Street in healthcare. Other staples of his policy include organic agriculture and a national fitness program.
Kemper pilots the RFK Bus
Kemper pilots the Kennedy Across America Tour in what he calls the Kennedy Bus – emblazoned with the independent candidate’s face and branding. It’s a flashy way to draw attention to a candidate that Kemper thinks the mainstream media and establishment are purposefully ignoring.
“I’m looking at platforms for creating more engaged discussion, looking at evolving the entire governance framework beyond this very shallow representative democracy situation that we have right now,” explained Kemper.
According to Kemper, he was inspired by the Freedom Convoy to take on politics. Additionally, he also has an interest in the potential of cryptocurrency to promote individual liberty.
“I began working on and talking about this following the trucker situation,” said Kemper. “You get a million people to Ottawa and they won’t even give you a chance to have a discussion.”
Kemper criticized Liberal Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland for having no financial background
Kemper said that the world needs a system where people like Freeland who has “absolutely no finance experience at all” can be in control of key issues.
When asked about RFK’s endorsement of Trump, Kemper was supportive of the independent candidate.
“Bobby has recognized that this Kamala, ‘strength and joy” is a very dangerous candidacy and the best thing he can do to serve humanity and protect children is help Trump in the battleground states and he’s done so by pulling himself off the ballot in all the intense battleground states so that it won’t be spoiled,” said Kemper.
Moreover, Kemper went on to say that a win by the Democrats in the fall election would be “great” for Trudeau.
“It be a huge win for corporate totalitarianism,” said Kemper.
