.RobertKennedyJr, a Democratic presidential candidate challenging JoeBiden for the nomination, has pulled out of a speaking event at this week's controversial Moms for Liberty summit in Philadelphia.
The group's co-founder, Tiffany Justice, said Tuesday that even though the Kennedy camp confirmed his appearance a week ago and that Moms for Liberty had hyped up his appearance, Kennedy informed the influential group of conservative mothers that"his schedule changed and he can no longer speak at our summit.
He had been slated to join former President Donald Trump, Gov. Ron DeSantis , Vivek Ramaswamy, and more at the three-day conference that will bring together hundreds of like-minded people across the country to hear pitches from presidential contenders. Conference attendees will also participate in workshops intended to teach them how to mobilize their voting power and push for conservative policies in education.
Moms for Liberty was founded in 2021 and has led the recent culture war against school boards. They've shown up at meetings, raged against books that reference race and gender identity, and have accused public school teachers of trying to indoctrinate students.The founders are also all current or former school board members in Florida who were opposed to student mask and quarantine policies during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Moms for Liberty has been on the receiving end of weeks of protests by multiple organizations that claim Moms for Liberty is nothing more than a far-right, well-funded, racist cabal that pushes exclusionary policies.
