BOSTON — Donald Trump and the Democratic National Committee are hammering Robert F. Kennedy Jr. His supporters are thrilled.
As Kennedy raised money in a series of private events Monday inside the downtown Boston hotel where he launched his quixotic presidential bid just over a year ago, attendee after attendee said they were convinced the bipartisan pile-on would only aid the independent candidate.
“If Republicans and Democrats see him as a threat, that’s a good thing, because not a lot of people realize he’s running,” said Renata Letniowska, a Duxbury, Massachusetts, resident who was on hand for a portion of the fundraising bonanza at Boston’s Park Plaza hotel.
Phil Jackson, too, maintained that all the attention — negative though it may be — will help draw attention to “Bobby,” as his supporters affectionately call him.
