One of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s public relations strategists is none other than the former Manhattan Madam.
It was revealed Wednesday that Kristin M. Davis, who ran a prostitution ring for high-end clients in New York City in the 2000s, is heading a political action committee for the U.S. presidential campaign longshot.
“I have been a head adviser for a PAC supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr., driven by my deep belief in his vision and potential as a candidate,” Davis told Radar Online after contacting the publication following an in depth Vanity Fair report that alleged, among other things, that he ate a roasted dog.
A political action committee is a tax-exempt organization that collects campaign contributions from members and donates funds to campaigns for or against candidates, ballot initiatives, or legislation.
Davis, 46, said she is one of his biggest fans, pointing to RFK Jr.’s promise to crack down on large pharmaceutical companies and his anti-vaccine stance.
“My admiration for him is rooted in his personal journey, humility, and unwavering commitment to combating Big Pharma and Big Tech and improving children’s health … his dedication to these vital issues makes him the right choice for a better future.”
The former madam said her past life shouldn’t be a distraction to his campaign for U.S. president.
“Those choices should not detract from my intelligence or my current work,” she said. “I have dedicated the last 16 years to political PR and strategy, representing many notable libertarian and right-wing personalities and working on three presidential campaigns.”
She reiterated her support for the third party candidate on social media following the publication of her ties with RFJ Jr.’s campaign.
“Today, I’m proud to restate my support for Bobby and call for a united front,” she wrote. “If [Donald] Trump truly wants to win this election and bring real change, he must join forces with Bobby and make him head of HHS (Department of Health and Human Services). Imagine the power of a Trump-Kennedy alliance campaigning under the banner of national unity and genuine change.”
In 2008, Davis was arrested for promoting prostitution as the self-styled Manhattan Madam. She served four months at Rikers Island prison.
In 2014, she was sentenced to two years in jail after she sold prescription pills to a government informant.
