Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said this week that “virtually all Democrats” want President Joe Biden to prove his “mental acuity” on the debate stage.

RFK made the remarks during a Wednesday interview on CNBC’s “Last Call” with Brian Sullivan.

“Make the case to the DNC for having a debate, one debate, between you, any other candidate, and President Biden in front of the American people to maybe assuage some concerns,” Sullivan said.

“I think that’s the point, there are a lot of misgivings among the vast majority of voters, Republicans and Democrats, about the president’s capacity and mental acuity,” he said, later adding: “I think it is important for the president to have a debate, to show that he has the vigor, the mental acuity, and to put those misgivings aside for the American people.”

“Not only a debate, but have unscripted conversations with voters and do some retail politics,” he continued. “If he is going to have to debate President Trump, or whoever the Republican is, at some point — to say that he should sit on the couch — it’s like telling a prizefighter you’re going to prepare for the prize fight championship by sitting on a couch eating Chick-Fil-A. You need to be practicing and you need to be getting on your feet and making sure.”

RFK said that his campaign keeps pushing Biden to debate.

“The American people, even Democrats who don’t like me, particularly because they’ve been misled about what I believe, virtually all Democrats want to see a debate,” he added.

TRANSCRIPT:

BRIAN SULLIVAN, CNBC: Make the case to the DNC for having a debate, one debate, between you, any other candidate, and President Biden in front of the American people to maybe assuage some concerns.

ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.: I think that’s the point, there are a lot of misgivings among the vast majority of voters, Republicans and Democrats, about the president’s capacity and mental acuity.

…

I think it is important for the president to have a debate, to show that he has the vigor, the mental acuity, and to put those misgivings aside for the American people. Not only a debate, but have unscripted conversations with voters and do some retail politics. If he is going to have to debate President Trump, or whoever the Republican is, at some point — to say that he should sit on the couch — it’s like telling a prizefighter you’re going to prepare for the prize fight championship by sitting on a couch eating Chik-fil-a. You need to be practicing and you need to be getting on your feet and making sure.

SULLIVAN: Are you talking to him about getting one? Is there any chance there will be a debate?

KENNEDY: Well, we’re asking him. The American people, even Democrats who don’t like me, particularly because they’ve been misled about what I believe, virtually all Democrats want to see a debate.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), the former Speaker of the House, claimed in an interview this week that supporters of former President Donald Trump do not value the dignity for everyone.

Pelosi made the remarks during a Thursday interview with Bloomberg Television while in Venice, Italy.

When asked if there was a Republican candidate who she could live with becoming the president, Pelosi responded, “I’m not into Republicans. I’m into the Democrats.”

“And hopefully the Republican Party can find a candidate that the American can live with, I say to the Republicans all the time, take back your party,” she said. “The Republican Party is a great party. You’ve done great things for our country. You’re not a — you’re not a cult to a thug. You’re a great Grand Old Party and recapture that because the public that — America needs a strong Republican Party, a strong Democratic Party, too, but strong Republican Party.”

Pelosi then called Trump’s hold on the party a “cancerous situation” and that she hopes the party can move past him.

She then attacked Trump’s supporters, claiming that he was only “popular with his group.”

“It’s interesting to see how there’s a certain element of the population who would just go for him,” she said. “They’re people we would probably never get. They don’t share our values in terms of respect for the dignity and worth of every person and the rest.”

Pelosi took a further shot at Trump supporters, saying that they were “afraid” of change because “they don’t see a place for their families in the future.”

“They’re concerned about globalization, they’re concerned about immigration, they’re concerned about innovation,” she continued. “They’re concerned about diversity, women, minorities, LGBTQ, other people coming into the leadership arena, and that’s to be respected.”
