The Trump Campaign teased a “surprise guest” at the Glendale, Arizona, Rally. Earlier that day, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his campaign and endorsed Trump in Arizona. Therefore, most people guessed he was the surprise guest.
It was wild to see a Kennedy and a Republican shaking hands on stage. RFK Jr.’s endorsement of Trump could mark a political shift, especially given that for decades, the Kennedy family was the Democratic Party.
RFK Jr. was welcomed with loud applause.
Trump introduced him,
“in honor of Bobby. I am announcing tonight that upon my election, I will establish a new independent presidential commission on assassination attempts, and they will be tasked with releasing all of the remaining documents pertaining to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.”
He continued,
“I also want to salute Bobby’s decades of work as an advocate for the health of our families and our children. Nobody’s done more. Millions and millions of Americans who want clean air, clean water, and a healthy nation have concerns about toxins in our environment and pesticides in our food. That’s why today I’m repeating my pledge to establish a panel of top experts working with Bobby to investigate what is causing the decades long increase in chronic health problems and childhood diseases, including autoimmune disorders, autism, obesity, infertility, and many more. We want every child in America to grow up and to live a long and healthy life.”
During RFK Jr.’s remarks, he spoke of a shared vision with Trump for America, “we don’t agree on everything, but on the values and issues that bind us together.”
“We know that a government that can silence its opponents has a license for any kind of atrocity. Can you think of any time you can look back in history and say that the people who were censoring were the good guys? They’re always the bad guys because it’s always the first step down that slippery slope to totalitarianism.””Don’t you want a President who’s going to protect America’s freedoms and protect us against totalitarianism? And I want to ask you again. Don’t you want a safe environment for your children? Don’t you want to know that the food you’re feeding them is not filled with chemicals that are going to give them cancer and chronic disease? Don’t you want a President who’s going to make America healthy again? Thank you all very, very much. God bless you, and God bless America.”
