RFK Jr. says GOP now the party of ‘the common man’

September 9, 2024 | | Print Article

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. brings true value to the Trump campaign in that he has a real talent for exposing the Democratic myth of illusion being greater than reality.

A lifelong Democrat, RFK Jr. described his party as the party of elites on Sunday, while suggesting the Republican Party had become “the party of the common man.”

“There’s been an inversion now where the Republican Party has become the party of the common man, of working people, of the middle class, and the Democratic Party has become the party of Wall Street, the Military Industrial Complex, Big Pharma, BigAg, Big Tech, the Big Banking Systems and all of what [Donald Trump] calls the Deep State,” Kennedy posted on X while sharing a clip from a Tucker Carlson event last week.

The clip was recorded in Anaheim, California, and featured Carlson, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Kennedy, who said that Kamala Harris’ acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention sounded as if it was written by “neocons and the CIA.”

“For the first time in history, they had a CIA former director speaking before her — Leon Panetta. They had military people speaking at the Democratic convention,” RFK Jr. said. “Democrats were the anti-war party, they were the pro-constitution party. They were the party that was against Wall Street and representing the little guy.”

He then pointed out that in the 2020 election, those who voted for Trump in 2020 only represented 30% of the wealth in the nation, while those who voted for President Biden represented 70% of American wealth.

It was at this point that Kennedy spoke of the aforementioned “inversion” between the parties.

He then offered a stellar description of the deep state, calling it “this web of financial interests that is not necessarily a little conspiracy, but it’s a conspiracy of self-interest that functions together in tandem to shift wealth upward, to clamp down totalitarian controls and to transform this country from the world’s exemplary democracy into a corporate kleptocracy and a very, very oppression oligarchical system. The kind of system we fought a revolution to overthrow in 1776.”

Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:
