RFK Jr. Breaks the Spiral of Democrats Under Biden and Harris with Impassioned Speech

It would be easy to call President Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday an example of the setting or venue through which the message was delivered; a huge crowd mobilized by bright lights and the promise of restoring America’s greatness. But beyond the theatrical aspects, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a former member of the Democratic Party, It was harshly criticized by.

For the onetime independent presidential candidate who joined Mr. Trump’s transition team in August, today’s radicalized Democratic Party is “no longer the party of Martin Luther King, the party of Robert Kennedy, the party of John Kennedy.”

That admission may not have been too far-fetched, but what Mr. Kennedy said about what he estimated were Democrats’ deep-state orientation and institutionalized intolerance of dissenting views was also notable.

He accused Democrats of being “people who are trying to undermine voting rights in this country by weaponizing federal agencies against political candidates, including myself and Donald Trump.” She said it was the party that “wants to divide Americans and tear apart women’s sports by allowing men to play women’s sports,” and reminded the audience that in 1972, “it was her uncle Ted Kennedy who wrote Title IX, which protected women’s sports.” university.”

While thorny domestic issues such as the economy and immigration have emerged as the issues driving this election, while foreign affairs have been pushed to the backstage for many voters, Mr. Kennedy did not hold back in that department either.

“Today’s Democratic Party is the party of war, the party of the CIA. “You had Kamala give a speech at the Democratic Convention written by neocons, it was an offensive speech,” he told the energetic crowd.

Harris’ campaign is “very proud to have had the support of 50 former CIA agents and officers, John Bolton and Dick Cheney. These are the people who brought us the war in Iraq, the worst foreign policy disaster this country has ever experienced.” Oversight “These are the people who gave us the Patriot Act that started the state.”

“This is the party of Wall Street, big banks, big data, big tech, military contractors and big pharma, big agriculture, big food and big chemicals.”

Regarding his support for President Trump, Mr. Kennedy asked the audience: “Don’t you think we deserve a president in this country who will restore the moral authority of the United States of America? Don’t you think we deserve a president who will end the war state and rebuild the middle class? Don’t you want a president who will put America first?

Although he did not mention any foreign countries other than Iraq, his open criticism of the Democrats as the party of “military contractors” was relevant to Americans going to the polls. This is largely because the Biden administration continues to pour billions of dollars into Ukraine’s defense. little responsibility.

Under the Trump administration, Russia’s aggression against Ukraine was largely kept in check, although it was never sanctioned. Mr. Kennedy’s displeasure with Mr. Biden’s unequal handling of a protracted war in Europe echoes concerns Mr. Biden has expressed. Senator PaulHe has repeatedly called for an audit of money going to Ukraine.

Mr. Kennedy’s question to the audience: “Don’t you want a president who will end corruption in federal agencies, the FDA, the NIH, the CDC and the CIA?” The way the Biden-Harris administration has sometimes appropriated them for questionable domestic political purposes and ill-conceived geopolitical purposes can be seen as a criticism of these organizations rather than a critique of them.

Mrs. Kennedy and Trump appear to have a good working relationship. Mr. Kennedy, spoke In a lengthy conversation with the Sun’s publisher, Dovid Efune, in September, he said President Trump called him just three hours after the July 13 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, and said Mr. Trump told him, “There are some things we can agree on.” he said. and there are some on which we disagree, but the landscapes on which we agree are much larger.

He told the arena audience that Mr. Trump had said he wanted to “end wars, surveillance and censorship” and that he wanted to “protect the Constitution and free speech.”
