Unifying message and warning against division comes as Kennedy expected to drop out of presidential race to endorse Donald Trump.
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posted a video to social media warning Americans of the political hostility spreading across the country.
America is lucky it’s not in a civil war right now, yet we are in a kind of cold civil war. What is this experiment we call America? Let us look back and remember who we are, and how our greatest leaders—like Abraham Lincoln—comported themselves in the face of civil war. We must… pic.twitter.com/KiaHXYpPph

Speaking about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, RFK said America is “lucky” it’s not currently experiencing a civil war.
“But, we are in a cold civil war and we need to stop our fighting,” he continued. “We need to stop the relentless bickering, the judging, the hating and extend to each other a new handshake and reconciliation.”
Kennedy added, “If that assassin’s bullet on July 13 that Pennsylvania had found its mark, the cold civil war that we’re now immersed in could have gone hot. Not only President Trump, but maybe even our entire republic had a close brush with death.”
The presidential candidate went on to remind viewers that their ancestors’ blood, sweat and tears were put into building the United States and that how we act as individuals will shape what the nation becomes going forward.
After listing some political goals many citizens would like to achieve, RFK pointed out no politician could accomplish them while running a divided nation and called for unity among Americans.
The message comes just two days before Kennedy is scheduled to make a national announcement Friday.
Alex Jones broke the news earlier this week that RFK and his running mate Nicole Shanahan will be dropping out of the presidential race and supporting Donald Trump in what will be labeled a unity ticket.
If this takes place, Kennedy would also be a top candidate to oversee a government agency in a second Trump administration.
Donald Trump Jr. said this week he loves the idea of RFK taking a role in his father’s government.
?WOW.?
Don Jr. just enthusiasitcally endorsed the idea of RFK Jr. joining the Trump Administration as potential CIA Director after speculation of his looming Trump endorsement grows:
