According to Fox News, RFK Jr. had an interview with Fox Business News anchor Maria Bartiromo. The journalist and the presidential candidate talked with each other on the "Sunday Morning Futures" TV show last weekend. 

During the interview, RFK Jr. said that the mainstream media is attacking him in an unprecedented way. 

"It's interesting to me because I've been really, you know, slammed in a way that I think is unprecedented even more than President Trump was slammed by the mainstream," said the politician. 

But, despite this, Robert is still quite confident with his ratings. 

"But the Harris Harvard poll came out - the gold standard poll - I think 2,500 people yesterday showed that my popularity is greater than... I think 20 points more than any other political candidate," said Kennedy Jr. 

He added that the poll just showed that American voters are still listening to what he says despite being targeted by the mainstream media. 

The presidential candidate explained that if the negative press against him is effective, then his unfavorability ratings should be off the charts.

RFK Jr. is currently criticized due to many reasons. These include his comments about COVID, accusing other countries of developing bioweapons, etc. 

Aside from the mainstream media, even his own family decided to distance themselves from the politician, as reported by Business Insider. 

Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of the late U.S. President John F. Kennedy, also criticized RFK Jr.

He said that the candidacy of RFK Jr. is an "embarrassment" and that Americans should not get distracted by the politician's vanity project.

"I've listened to him. I know him. I have no idea why anyone thinks he should be president," explained Schlossberg. 

Instead of promoting Robert, Jack said that he is excited to vote for Biden and hopes that other American voters do the same.
