Robert Kennedy Jr. Electrifies New York Crowd at Madison Square Garden — “Today’s Democratic Party is the Party of War. It’s the Party of the CIA”

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fired up a crowd of Trump supporters with a powerful message of unity, populism, and fierce criticism of today’s Democratic Party.

Kennedy, the son of former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of President John F. Kennedy, painted a vivid picture of the Democratic Party’s transformation from a champion of peace, civil rights, and the middle class into a force that he claims now embodies war, division, and corporate interests.

He pointed to the current Democratic agenda, which he claimed prioritizes the interests of Wall Street and big corporations over the American people.

“Thank you, New York. Thank you. A lot of people ask me why I left the Democratic Party. I say, I didn’t leave the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party left me. This is not the party anymore of Martin Luther King, of Robert Kennedy, of John Kennedy.

That was the party of peace. It was the party of constitutional rights, of civil rights, of freedom of speech.

It was the party that wanted to protect and nurture the middle class. It was the party that stood up to censorship, to surveillance, that stood up to the CIA, the military-industrial complex.

It was the party that wanted to protect public health and women’s sports. My uncle, Ted Kennedy, wrote Title IX, which protected women’s sports in college. It was the party that believed in voting rights and fought for the right of every American to vote for the person of their choice.”

Today’s Democratic Party is the party of war. It’s the party of the CIA. You had Kamala giving a speech at the Democratic Convention that was written by neocons, that was belligerent.

These are the people that gave us a war in Iraq, the worst foreign policy catastrophe that’s ever happened to this country. These are the people that gave us the Patriot Act that launched the surveillance state.

These are the people that are trying to undermine voting rights in this country by weaponizing the federal agencies against political candidates, including me and Donald Trump and all other political candidates that can’t win an election.

Instead of bringing in a candidate who wins the primaries, abolish the primaries, and then pick two candidates, anointing them without receiving votes.”

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

It’s the party that’s given us the sickest children in the history of the world. When my uncle was President, 6% of Americans had chronic disease, and we spent zero on chronic disease in this country.

Today, 60% of Americans have chronic disease. This is existential for our country. We’re spending $4.3 trillion a year, five times our military budget. Seventy-seven percent of American boys cannot qualify for military service because of chronic disease diagnoses. This is existential for our country. President Trump called me three hours after his shooting.

He said, ‘Would I come and sit down with him?’ He said to me during that meeting, ‘There are some things that we can agree on and some that we disagree on, but the landscapes on which we agree are much larger.’

He said, ‘I want to end the wars. I want to end this surveillance and censorship. I want to protect the Constitution. I want to protect freedom of speech.’”
