Kristy Allen shares the full speech Robert F. Kennedy Jr. delivered at the Republican midterm convention — a speech she calls epic and one that every American needs to hear. RFK Jr. opens with the irony of his presence: a man who attended his first Democratic convention at six years old, grew up in the party of Franklin Roosevelt, John Kennedy, and Robert Kennedy, and spoke as a keynote speaker at many Democratic conventions. But that party is gone. The Democrats of that era stood with labor and working people, championed the Bill of Rights, opposed government coercion, defended free speech, and fought to stop illegal immigration at the border.
Then, during COVID, RFK Jr. watched his party turn against every single one of its essential values. Democrats censored hundreds of scientists and physicians who questioned the government’s COVID pronouncements. They closed every church in the country for a year while keeping liquor stores and big box stores open as essential. They gave liability shields to giant pharmaceutical companies. They shut down 3 million businesses with no due process and no just compensation. In a single year, his party obliterated 250 years of constitutional guarantees. The party of “my body, my choice” forced citizens to submit to invasive medical interventions against their own wills. The party that told us to believe women cruelly silenced tens of thousands of mothers who believed their children had suffered vaccine injuries.
RFK Jr. reveals how the Democratic Party lost faith in American democracy, convinced they couldn’t win at the ballot box, and unveiled a lawfare strategy to prevent elections from occurring. They sued every candidate who dared to run against Joe Biden. They canceled their own convention. No voter ever cast a primary ballot for Kamala Harris. A party of no kings simply anointed a queen, handpicked by secretive party elites nobody even knows.
