Olivia Nuzzi told RFK Jr. that he was ‘the best candidate’ for president, a 2024 ‘strategy memo’ shared by ex-fiancé Ryan Lizza reveals



Disgraced political journalist Olivia Nuzzi told now-Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that he was “the best candidate” for president during the 2024 campaign — and even advised him on what to wear for an event, according to a purported “strategy memo” she penned for him.

The jaw-dropping note was published early Wednesday by Nuzzi’s former fiancé, Ryan Lizza, on his Telos News substack as proof that she had, in his words “crossed the line from journalist to political operative” while engaging in an emotional affair with the Kennedy scion.

The rambling memo from Nuzzi, now 32, advised Kennedy, now 71, on how to counter-program the June 27, 2024, debate between Donald Trump and then-President Joe Biden — which RFK Jr. had been barred from participating in due to poor polling.

“It sucks and it’s unfair that CNN and the major parties colluded to exclude you, but you have to deal with that reality as it is,” she wrote before turning to the nuts and bolts.

“Not to be all Naomi Wolf advising Al Gore, but I would wear a (blue — unlike Gore, you are a summer) suit and your standard thin tie so that those clips achieve the same thing aesthetically that your actual presence at the debate would achieve in terms of signaling both plausibility and a contrast … . The takeaway should be that you are Rocky while the other candidates are Rocky and Bullwinkle.”

What we know about Olivia Nuzzi’s relationship with RFK Jr.

  • New York magazine’s star political correspondent Olivia Nuzzi was placed on leave over an alleged ‘sexting’ relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
  • The reporter admitted to a non-physical “personal relationship” with Kennedy scion.
  • Nuzzi, 31, penned a profile on Kennedy, 70, that was published in November 2023, and sometime after that, the two reportedly began their alleged fling.
  • Nuzzi’s fiancé, Politico correspondent Ryan Lizza, announced the couple had ended their engagement on Friday.

Later in the memo, Nuzzi suggested that Kennedy give an exclusive interview about his debate night plans to Fox News, with primetime host Jesse Watters her “first choice.”

“If he doesn’t go for it, I would forget primetime and offer it to ‘Fox & Friends,’ ‘The Five,’ or ‘Outnumbered,’” she said. “If Fox turns it down, I would offer it to Piers [Morgan] in conjunction with the Daily Mail, with an agreement about how long the story must stay on their homepage, and since they have British media ethics you can probably dictate — carefully — other terms about the tenor of the story. If they turn it down, which they won’t, as they love any excuse to use the “EXCLUSIVE” banner, Newsmax or News Nation as a last resort.”

Nuzzi concluded the memo with a final message of support to her paramour: “You are the best candidate, and the people who already know that came to that belief because they respect you and your ideas. Focus on your ideas. Just as you know what’s best for the country, you know best what you should do on your campaign, and whatever you decide, you’ll be great.

“I love you,” she added, affixing heart and kissing lips emojis at the end.
