At a Trump campaign rally held in Madison Square Garden, former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spoke out against the Democratic Party, blaming them for what he described as a public health crisis affecting millions of Americans. Kennedy, once a prominent figure in the party, criticized its transformation and policies.
Kennedy claimed the party had abandoned its past principles. “It is not the party of peace or civil rights anymore,” he said. “It’s now the party of Wall Street and Big Pharma.” He emphasized that the Democratic Party has become a platform for elite interests, including big banks, big tech, and other major corporations.
Kennedy expressed particular concern over the state of American children’s health, citing alarming statistics. “Today, 60% of Americans have chronic disease, compared to just 6% when my uncle was president,” he told the crowd. He argued that the policies of the Democrats have created what he called the “sickest children in world history.”
He also criticized the influence of billionaires like Bill Gates, pointing to a recent $50 million donation to Kamala Harris. Kennedy suggested that such contributions are signs of the party’s alignment with powerful elites rather than the working class.
Kennedy continued by denouncing the lack of transparency in the nomination process, questioning how Harris was chosen as the candidate without winning a primary. “They abolished the primaries and anointed candidates without votes,” he stated.
In closing, Kennedy urged Americans to see through the policies he believes are harming the nation’s health and democracy, emphasizing his break from the party that once stood for freedom and transparency.
