Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign may have officially ended, with the candidate even endorsing Donald Trump, but for some, RFK Jr. is still the man to beat. Today, we sat down with one of his most passionate supporters—Alex Boatman, a Columbia student who refuses to acknowledge the campaign’s demise.
“Look, I don’t care if he’s not on the ballot,” defended Alex, who insisted upon being named in this article. “I’ll write in his goddamn name if I have to. I’m not letting the system dictate who I vote for.”
His devotion runs deep, even as Kennedy has been banned from several debates, disinvited from most political events, and now struggles to make headlines that don’t involve animal corpses. “That’s all part of the plan,” Alex insists. “He’s not trying to fit in with the establishment. He’s showing us how corrupt the system is by refusing to play their game; just because the media says he’s out doesn’t mean he’s really out.”
Even Kennedy’s well-publicized brainworm has only heightened his appeal to die-hard supporters like Alex. “Everyone’s freaking out about the worm, but I see it as a major plus. It’s like a metaphor, man. He’s got something inside him pushing him to question everything. If the system’s infected, maybe you need to be, too.”
But it’s not just students throwing their support behind Kennedy. Columbia University’s interim president, Katrina Armstrong, recently shocked the academic world by also announcing her intention to vote for RFK. “Look, I’m illiterate,” Armstrong reportedly confessed at a recent faculty meeting, “and his name’s the easiest one to spell. Simple as that.”
As Kennedy’s campaign spirals further into chaos, his most loyal followers remain convinced that his unconventional tactics are precisely what America needs. “You’ll see,” Alex concluded, adjusting his RFK Jr. pin. “The brain worm, the dead animals – it’s all connected. He’s playing a different game. And in the end, he’s going to win.”
