RFK Jr. Joins Trump at Arizona Rally

RFK Jr. Joins Trump at Arizona Rally

Saturday’s New York Post cover: “Democratic dynasty heir RFK Jr. endorses Republican Trump”

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.”

1) Interesting that the headline in the press this morning isn’t about RFK endorsing DJT or of the substance of RFK’s speech but rather the reaction of other members of the Kennedy clan (a more wretched hive of scum and villainy…) which, ironically, proves RFK’s point.

2) “a healthy nation have concerns about toxins in our environment and pesticides in our food.” – Trump

This I can tell you from my own expert opinion that RFK is a lunatic on this issue, a lawyer pretending to be a scientist. If Trump puts him at FDA, USDA, EPA we’re in for a world of hurt. As to agricultural policy in this nation we are 100% headed in the wrong direction and RFK would just turbocharge that.

I read RFK’s book “The Real Anthony Fauci” and it helped keep me sane during COVID and opened my eyes to the reality of institutional capture. That book was incredibly well researched and a gift to the American people. I like RFK but I’ll tell you in his book he spends the first chapter lambasting Trump. So to me this is fascinating that he has extended his understanding of institutional capture to realize hat it goes beyond drug companies and the NIH and FDA, and the medical industry in general. He has been a victim of the institutional capture of the media, as has Trump. To me this is a meeting of the minds of two people, who see the danger our country is in and are banding together to do the right thing. While they disagree on quite a lot there is a higher sense of purpose here. The media certainly didn’t like this and it has stolen some of the “joy” from the end of the DNC, s Kennedy is reminder that Harris was not selected democratically did not campaign, has no policies and hasn’t done anything as VP. Why shouldn’t Kennedy have been the democratic nominee? He actually ran a campaign, had position statements and did the work. Independent minded Americans like Kennedy and get him, and independents might decide this election.

    I also read his Fauci book and was tempted to buy into his views, but in the end found his conclusions to be exaggerated and sometimes fanciful. He introduced his chapter on AIDs saying he struggled on whether to include it. It was this chapter that really gave me pause. It posited that AIDs is not caused by the AIDs virus. This was a very defensible, contrarian view 35 years ago, but the success of the newer antiviral AIDs cocktails renders it ludicrous. He also has a ridiculously Polly Anna view of corporate finance. Finally, I found the exemplary writing style to be at odds with his television appearances, making me wonder if he hadn’t enlisted a good ghost writer.

      His dad & uncle weren’t engaging extemporaneous speakers either and there’s no question that JFK didn’t write Profiles in Courage. While they were both excellent at delivering speeches written by others, that’s about where it ended…very much like Obama. There’s a foreign policy debate between RFK & Reagan from early 1969 that’s available for viewing at CSPAN and YouTube that shows RFK getting absolutely crushed by Reagan in both style and substance. That debate puts to rest the ’empty suit’ accusation against Reagan. His granular command of complicated foreign policy (much of which centered around the Vietnam War) was remarkable, wonkish even. RFK was clearly outclassed, although both men comported themselves with dignity and were very collegial toward each other.

      It’s AIDS, not AIDs. Acquired ImmunoDeficiency Syndrome.

      And yes, Duesberg’s hypothesis was a reasonable idea when he proposed it, and it wasn’t nice the way he was shouted down and suppressed, in a foreshadowing of what we saw more recently with anyone who questioned “the science” on Wuhan Disease. But within a decade or so it was clear that it was incorrect, and now, more than 35 years on, it’s been completely refuted.

Be careful Bobby…your former party takes aim at dissidents.

RFK Jr’s speech withdrawing from battleground states and scorching the Democratic Party is must see or read if you prefer.

He is not a nut or lunatic on toxins or vaccinations or anything else. Disagree with him but his positions are well researched and thought out. I don’t agree with some but he isn’t the crank the corporate press tries to make him out to be.
