Kristin Davis, notoriously known as The Manhattan Madam who ran a New York City high-end prostitution ring that was used by Johns like Eliot Spitzer, was revealed to be one of the political public relations strategists behind a Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. political action committee, according to a Radar Online piece on Wednesday.
Mediaite has learned that Davis is working with Kennedy’s Common Sense PAC, and can report additional details from Davis and the PAC.
Shortly after the Radar story published, Davis tore into the piece on Instagram for tying her to her tawdry past as a madam, and pointed to her pivot into politics for the last 15 years, as well as her dedication to RFK Jr.’s independent presidential run.
“I’ve spent the last 15 years working behind the scenes in politics, and in my journey, I’ve encountered my fair share of grifters and scammers. Bobby Kennedy is the real deal. His authenticity and unwavering commitment to battling Big Pharma and Big Tech are unmatched. Today, I’m proud to restate my support for Bobby and call for a unified front.”
Davis went so far to recommend that Donald Trump align with Kennedy, and broker a deal to make the political scion the head of HHS.
“If Trump truly wants to win this election and bring real change, he must join forces with Bobby and make him head of HHS. Imagine the power of a Trump-Kennedy alliance campaigning under the banner of national unity and genuine change. Picture Bobby Kennedy at the helm, cracking down on Big Pharma, halting the reckless promotion of unsafe vaccines, and overhauling the vaccine schedule to safeguard our children’s health. Bobby is in it to win it, is Trump?”
On July 26th, Mediaite exclusively reported the details of the meeting between Trump and Kennedy during the Republican National Convention. According to sources with knowledge of the Trump/Kennedy meeting the former Democrat drafted a unity pledge that “outlined a role for Kennedy leading HHS.”
Davis cautioned that “my past should not detract from this message or Bobby’s vision for America’s future. We need to focus on the issues that matter most and the leaders who can bring about real change. Team Trump—can we make this happen? Let’s push for the future our country deserves. #RFKJr #Trump #Unity #Change #Election2024.”
The head of the Common Sense PAC, Nate Porter, told Mediaite on Wednesday, “Kristin (Davis) and I worked closely together for the last 14 months. She has been one of our top political advisors. Kristin’s political and public relations acumen has stood out to all of us that worked with her. She has a gift of foresight in this arena. From the perspective of professionalism and work product, Kristin’s past did not hinder us in any way. If anything, her life experience of being in the spotlight of a media scandal gives her a perspective that few others have.”
In a written statement to Mediaite, Davis said, “I have stayed behind the scenes in a role, supporting RFK Jr for 14 months because I recognize my past is the subject of media fodder and becomes Clickbait news.” She added, “Bobby is my candidate but what I would really love to see is a Trump – Kennedy alliance. The most effective position for change with the biggest budget is the head of HHS. I encourage the Trump team to make a deal if they want to win.”
A rep for Kennedy did not respond to a request for comment at the time of this piece’s publication.
