RFK Jr. Rips Into Media and Democratic Party in Fiery Speech, Throws Support Behind Trump

In a blistering speech on Friday, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shook the political landscape by suspending his campaign and endorsing Donald Trump. Kennedy’s decision, announced during a press conference in Phoenix, Arizona, sent shockwaves through the Democratic Party and the media establishment.

Kennedy wasted no time in outlining how far the Democratic Party has strayed from its roots. "Back then, the Democrats were the champions of the Constitution, of civil rights," Kennedy said, lamenting that today's Democrats have abandoned those principles in favor of war, censorship, and big-money interests. He didn't mince words, accusing the party of "abandoning democracy" to protect President Joe Biden’s crumbling image.

Key Takeaways from Kennedy’s Speech:

• Kennedy blasted the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for what he described as undemocratic actions, including rigging the primaries and weaponizing the judiciary to suppress competition.

• He accused the Biden administration of using federal agencies to censor free speech and manipulate the media, drawing a sharp contrast between the current state of American politics and the democracy his father and uncle once championed.

• Kennedy made it clear that his support for Trump stems from their shared stance on issues like free speech, the war in Ukraine, and protecting the nation’s children.

Kennedy’s critique extended to Vice President Kamala Harris, whom he described as a product of the DNC’s “smoke and mirrors” tactics. He noted that Harris, unpopular with voters, avoided debates and interviews, relying instead on manufactured popularity orchestrated by the media.

Perhaps the most damning part of his speech was Kennedy’s assertion that the Democrats have turned "democracy" into nothing more than a slogan. He argued that the party has weaponized government agencies and the media to silence dissent, much like the regimes they often criticize.

Kennedy’s endorsement of Trump is a clear indication that the Democratic Party’s drift into authoritarianism has alienated even those from its most historic families. As he works to remove his name from the ballot in critical swing states, Kennedy's decision could be a pivotal moment in the 2024 election.
