Please correct me if I am mistaken, but prior to RFK Jr even filing for acceptance to run/campaign for President, he had to do A LOT of preparation, in advance, to protect CHD.
In order to preserve CHD’s 501(c)(3) Tax-Exempt Donations Status with the IRS, he had to step down from active involvement as CHD’s President/CEO and go “on leave.”
In so doing he made Mary Holland President of CHD—and even she had to go on temporary leave status for a time.
In a nutshell, if Bobby Kennedy Jr was involved with the CHD platform (in almost any way), while he is a Presidential candidate, then his cherished CHD organization would lose their 501(c)(3), which would be financially devastating to the organization.
Thus, I am very dubious that he could get away with any activity that would be deemed to be using that company’s platform, to advance his political messages. Perhaps there might be some kind of loophole that I am unaware of. I just don’t know—especially when prodding the IRS Beast!
Please set me straight if I have misunderstood any part of this “tangled web” we are caught in.
Thank you, as always, for your erudition and masterful literary skills, Jon!
