Robert F. Kennedy Jr on X: "VP Harris’s Democratic Party would be unrecognizable to my father and uncle and I cannot reconcile it with my values. ..." / X
VP Harris’s Democratic Party would be unrecognizable to my father and uncle and I cannot reconcile it with my values.
The Democratic Party of RFK and JFK was the party of civil liberties and free speech. VP Harris‘s is the party of censorship, lockdowns, and medical coercion.
Kennedy Democrats were anti-war. Kamala‘s is riddled with neocon warmongers.
The RFK/JFK dems were allies of Main Street, cops, firefighters, and working people. VP Harris’s is the Party of Big Tech, Big Pharma and Wall Street.
My dad and uncle’s party was the champion of voting rights and fair elections. VP Harris’s is the party of lawfare, disenfranchisement, and the coronation of its candidates by corporate donors and party elites.
I’ve used our nation’s courts to prosecute corporations who hurt Black Americans. VP Harris used our nation’s courts to mercilessly prosecute Black Americans and exploit them for their labor.
My father and uncle prided themselves on their skills at debate and their ability to articulate a coherent vision for our country. VP Harris is scared to debate and can’t survive an unscripted interview. Instead of outlining a vision, she relies on middleschool tactics – memes, forged headlines, infantile slogans (Joy!) and name calling (“Republicans are weird.“)
I’ve spent years battling government corruption and lies. VP Harris spent years gaslighting Americans about the health of our Commander in Chief.
I have no plans to endorse Kamala Harris for President. I do have a plan to defeat her.
What bellyaching.
Like saying that "Kennedy Democrats" were antiwar and not "neocon warmongers". By that standard, JFK was a big fat neocon warmonger. The neocons were Cold Warriors who wanted new enemies to fight after the end of the Soviet Union and the Soviet bloc, and after Communist China became a capitalist roader.
The party of Big Tech, Big Pharma and Wall Street? I went to
Open Secrets following the money in politics and I quickly discovered that these industries support candidates of *both* parties.
Lawfare? That's litigation as warfare. Donald Trump is an expert on that. Disenfranchisement? The Republicans are expert at that. The coronation of its candidates by corporate donors and party elites? Like what?
Kamala Harris afraid to debate? She's willing to, but not with Fox News's moderation.
Then saying that KH "relies on middleschool tactics", and complaining about calling Republicans "weird". As if Donald Trump has never done anything comparable, and as if that is not justified about JD Vance and his grudge against childless people.
If RFK Jr. wanted to say that the D's are as bad as the R's, he should have said so.
