In a recent podcast interview Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claims Donald Trump referred to the primary author of Project 2025 as a “right wing a**hole.”
“And he brought this issue up to me and he said, you know, they always tell me I’m on for Project 2025. I never read Project 2025 until they start accusing me of it. He said that was written by a right-wing asshole. That’s what he is. He said they’re left-wing assholes and there are right-wing assholes and it was a right-wing asshole who wrote that thing and then he started going through it.”
While Project 2025 has been portrayed as a dystopian far right governance plan, RFK insisted that Donald Trump was listening to a wide array of perspectives.
“So I, you know, I think he’s interested in his legacy now. He wants to leave behind some accomplishments and he wants to make our country better. And I think he’s, you know, he’s listening to a wider range of voices. He’s preparing to govern right now. And, you know, I’ll be on the transition committee picking the people who are going to govern…There’s going to be a wide diversity of stakeholders. But he’s listening to more than just that narrow right wing.”
He continued, “If President Trump wins, that people are going to see a very different President Trump than they did in the first term. I think he’s changed as a person. And I’ve known him for, you know, 30 years,” Kennedy said. “But I think he is, he’s focused on his legacy.”
Project 2025 has become a central talking point in the presidential election, and was referenced often throughout the Democratic National Convention as Donald Trump’s plan for America, in spite of him explicitly disavowing it and saying that he had nothing to do with its creation on more than one occasion.
In her speech, Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester of Delaware said, “He has, with his friends, said the quiet part out loud. But not only said them out loud, he wrote a book about it. What’s it called? Project 2025.”
CNN acknowledged this was untrue.
“That is false. Trump did not write Project 2025. The project’s big policy document was published by the Heritage Foundation think tank lists dozens of people as authors, editors, contributors. Donald Trump is not among them.”
Mediate reports:
Project 2025 was organized by Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, along with a group of former Trump White House officials in preparation for the former president’s return to the Oval Office.
In addition to lies about Project 2025’s origins, lies about its contents were told at the Democratic National Convention as well, and have been widely circulated on social media.
In his DNC address, Governor Jared Polis of Colorado claimed that page 451 of Project 2025 states that the only legitimate family is between a married mother and father where only the father works, despite nothing on the page supporting that.
