No secret service protection for Kennedy Jr. and CNN adds this little clip from Kennedy’s campaign manager at the end of a disparaging assessment of Kennedy’s request;

In response to CNN's request for comment for this fact check, Kennedy campaign manager Dennis Kucinich called our assessment of the tweet "pretty ignorant" and argued that we have been unable to understand the trauma inflicted on the nation by the Kennedy assassinations of the 1960s. He also noted that Obama did have Secret Service protection at this point in the campaign.
