As my colleague Jennifer Van Laar wrote this week, a deranged stalker made two attempts on Wednesday to break into independent 2024 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s home. She was correct in asking what more needs to happen for Kennedy to receive Secret Service protection.

Now, a new revelation about a Secret Service report is calling into question the process the Biden Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is using to determine the candidate's status for protection, and has Kennedy ramping up his plea for answers. In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital on Friday, he said he was optimistic at first that threats against him were being taken seriously, when he first approached the Secret Service:

"The Secret Service said yes, this is a no-brainer," Kennedy said, adding that Secret Service officials told him "it would move very quickly and our first interview would be in 14 days." 

"But it went 88 days, and then we got a rejection letter from [DHS Secretary Alejandro] Mayorkas," he said.

But it gets worse than that. It appears that Mayorkas and the DHS knew about the intruder incidents and that the Secret Service reported months ago that RFK Jr. "was at elevated 'risk for adverse attention'": 

The person arrested for trespassing on Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s property twice this week was listed in a Secret Service risk assessment as part of the candidate's request for protection in June, Fox News Digital has learned. 

Jonathan Macht was arrested Wednesday morning for trespassing on Kennedy's property. Police transported Macht from Kennedy's property, but he returned later in the day after he was released from custody and again attempted to enter the property. He was re-arrested. Kennedy requested Secret Service protection twice, but has been rejected by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) despite the Secret Service determining in June that he was at elevated "risk for adverse attention."

With all of the overwhelming evidence mounting, Kennedy said he can only surmise that Biden is refusing to give him protection for "political" reasons. Calling out the way federal agencies have been weaponized, and the double standard of President Joe Biden's family getting Secret Service protection, he continued:

 The thing I worry most about is the politicization of our law enforcement agencies. It is disturbing — the apparent weaponization of the Secret Service while Biden provides protection to his family members and political allies. And then he denies it to political rivals. It is not good optics for the world of exemplary democracy.
