RFK Slams the Harris/Walz Ticket
Trouble in paradise?
Robert F. Kennedy unloaded on the Harris/Walz regime in what could best be described as a final divorce decree.
Recall that RFK declared earlier this year that the Biden/Harris administration was a “much worse threat to democracy” than Donald Trump.
In a bridge-burning rebuke of Kamala Harris, he announced he has “no plans to endorse Kamala Harris for President” and that Harris’s Democrat 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 middle school 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.
Harris’s Leftmedia defenders at The New York Times insist that RFK is mad because he wanted a cabinet position in exchange for dropping out and endorsing Harris. Kennedy did say: “We’ve reached out repeatedly through the highest level intermediaries. We’ve been told that they have no interest in talking with me.”
Additionally, according to Kennedy: “I’ve always argued that we should be willing to talk with each other across party lines. I’m willing to meet with leaders of both parties to discuss the possibility of a unity government.”
Obviously, Harris/Walz, as was the case with Biden/Harris, depend on hatred and division to keep their constituents in line, so the prospect of reaching across a party line is anathema to Harris.
It is not clear what impact RFK will have on the upcoming election, but now that the Leftmedia is trying to bury him to protect Harris, it is not likely that he will have enough traction to make much difference — other than with his true believers and perhaps some independents. However, regarding his “plan to defeat her,” that likely means he plans to endorse Trump.
Last week, a state court in New York ruled that Kennedy could not appear on New York’s presidential ballot, a ruling that will give other states cause to remove Kennedy from their ballots. For his part, Kennedy says he will attempt to have his name removed from ballots in swing states in order not to take votes away from Trump.
Update: Kennedy endorsed Trump this week, and here are some key reasons why….
On rejecting the Democrat Party:
“As you know, I left that party in October because it had departed so dramatically from the core values that I grew up with. … [50 years ago], the Democrats were the champions of the Constitution, of civil rights. The Democrats stood against authoritarianism, against censorship, against colonialism, imperialism, and unjust wars. We were the party of labor, of the working class. The Democrats were the party of government transparency and the champion of the environment. … It has become the party of war, censorship, corruption, big pharma, big tech, big ag and big money.”
On bypassing the Primary to swap Harris for Biden:
“How did the Democratic Party choose a candidate that has never done an interview or debate during the entire election cycle? We know the answers. They did it by weaponizing the government agencies. They did it by abandoning democracy. They did it by suing the opposition and by disenfranchising American voters. What most alarms me isn’t how the Democratic party conducts its internal affairs or runs its candidates.”
On rigging the support for Harris:
“The DNC and its media organs engineered a surge of popularity for Vice President Harris based upon nothing: no policies, no interviews, no debates, only smoke and mirrors and balloons in a highly produced Chicago circus.”
On why he is endorsing Trump:
“Great causes drove me to enter this race in the first place, and these are the principle causes that persuaded me to leave the Democratic party and run as an independent, and now to throw my support to President Trump. The causes were free speech, a war in Ukraine and the war on our children.”
Of course, some of RFK’s leftist relatives were apoplectic, condemning his endorsement of Trump.
In an open letter, his siblings claimed, “We want an America filled with hope and bound together by a shared vision of a brighter future, a future defined by individual freedom, economic promise, and national pride,” adding, “we believe in Harris and Walz.” They concluded: “Our brother Bobby’s decision to endorse Trump today is a betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear. It is a sad ending to a sad story.” To be clear, if in fact, those wealthy white-privilege Demos actually “want an America filled with hope and bound together by a shared vision of a brighter future, a future defined by individual freedom, economic promise, and national pride,” then like RFK, they should endorse Donald Trump! Kennedy responded to their condemnation: “My family is at the center of the Democratic Party. I have five members of my family that are working for the Biden administration. … They’re free to take their positions on these issues. There are many, many members of my family who are working in my campaign, who are supporting me.”
Notably, it is not just Kennedy who has family members who strongly object to his views. Tim Walz’s older brother, Jeff Walz, has declared: “I’m 100% opposed to all his ideology. … The stories I could tell. Not the type of character you want making decisions about your future.” Asked about endorsing Trump, Jeff said: “I’ve thought long and hard about doing something like that! I’m torn between that and just keeping my family out of it.”
