Why is RFK, Jr. Being Denied Secret Service Protection?

by Hank Vanderbeek, American Thinker:

July 8, 2024.  That’s the date RFK, Jr., by law, is entitled to Secret Service protection.  Title 18 U.S.C. 3056(a)(7) states that the U.S. Secret Service is authorized to protect major Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates and their spouses, as identified by the DHS secretary, within 120 days of the general presidential election (November 5, 2024).

You would think Biden would want to help candidate RFK, Jr.  After all, Democrat pundits are opining that independent candidate RFK, Jr will help Biden’s bid for a second term.  Example: MSN reports, “…right now, of all the things Biden supporters need to worry about as obstacle to the incumbent’s second term, RFK Jr. is likely to become a minor consideration and perhaps even an ace in the hole.”
