Rob Schneider Takes Aim at Joe Biden Over RFK Jr.

For most of his career, Rob Schneider was best known for making audiences laugh on Saturday Night Live! and for randomly popping up in Adam Sandler movies.

These days, the 60-year-old is better known for his views on everything from vaccines to transgender people to cancel culture.

His takedowns of politicians and fellow celebrities have also raised eyebrows, with the comedian recently slamming country singer Garth Brooks, actor Susan Sarandon and Kansas Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

Taking to social media on Wednesday, Schneider hit out at Joe Biden for a second time this year, calling the president a "tyrant."

On the 60th anniversary of John F. Kennedy's death, Biden reflected on the moment he heard the former president had been assassinated.

"I was in college and had just left class, joining other students glued to the news in silence along with the entire country," the 81-year-old said in a statement.

Reposting the quote to X, formerly known as Twitter, Schneider wrote: "Biden also Honored JFK's legacy in the opposite way by breaking protocol and NOT GIVING @RobertKennedyJr SECRET SERVICE PROTECTION. #SoSickOfThisTyrant."

Newsweek has reached out to Rob Schneider for comment via email.

In June, Schneider announced he was endorsing Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the son of JFK's brother Robert F. Kennedy, who served as attorney general from 1961 to 1964.

Known by his initials of RFK Jr., the 69-year-old originally entered the Democratic presidential primaries. However, he has since decided to run as an independent candidate.

Since announcing his decision to run for president, several of Kennedy's policies have caused controversy.

Despite saying that he's not anti-vaccine, his comments about "suspicious deaths" among elderly COVID-19 vaccine recipients and the supposed link between autism and child immunizations—which has been debunked—have made him popular among vaccine skeptics and conspiracy theorists.

In July, Kennedy said that Biden had denied him Secret Service protection after Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas decided it was "not warranted at this time."

In a post to X, the environmental lawyer implied that Biden was singling him out by not providing protection, writing: "Since the assassination of my father in 1968, candidates for president are provided Secret Service protection. But not me."

However, a CNN fact-check found that Kennedy did not meet the criteria for Secret Service protection as he is not considered a "major presidential candidate." Candidates are also denied protection until 120 days before a general election, and not during the primary stage.

Schneider's post about Biden and Kennedy has received almost 53,000 views and divided the actor's 1.7 million X followers.

Some users agreed with Schneider, with @SummerLover918 calling Biden's tribute "sickening."

"That's cold blooded," said Brian Sabol.

"Right, he has no business commenting about the loss of JFK at this point," wrote G, while Johndadiver called the president a "Complete scum bag."

However, others blasted Schneider's remarks, with Matt writing: "Secret service denial when [Kennedy] wanted it isn't quite how it works."

"Sucking up to actual tyrants while you s*** all over America has convinced me that you are a traitor to your own country, Rob," commented Jamison Daniel.

In September, Schneider criticized Biden for choosing to wear a face mask during a White House news conference, after his wife Jill Biden contracted the virus.

The Hot Chick star dubbed Biden a "looney octogenarian," causing uproar in the comments.
