RFK Jr. claims middle class was ‘systematically’ wiped out under COVID lockdowns
by Julia Shapero - 04/22/23 10:52 PM ET
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who recently announced a 2024 bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, suggested on Saturday that the American middle class was “systematically” wiped out as a result of the COVID-19 lockdowns.
“The strength of a nation comes from a strong economy and a vibrant middle class, and we have wiped out the middle class in the country systematically,” Kennedy Jr. told Fox News‘ Neil Cavuto.
Kennedy, 69, who is a prominent anti-vaccine activist, pointed to the economic costs of the lockdowns, suggesting they benefited the wealthy at the cost of the middle class.
“I’m in a better position to run against Donald Trump than any of the Democrats because I can hold him accountable for the worst thing that he did, which was the lockdowns,” he added.
He also noted that while many Democrats may not understand or support his decision to challenge President Biden, the polls speak for him.
“Right now, polls show President Biden losing to Donald Trump, who is the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party,” Kennedy said. “Ultimately, I think I’m in a much better position to beat Donald Trump than Joe Biden is. And I also just disagree with him on basic issues, like my father did with Lyndon Johnson on censorship.”
“I don’t think the White House should be censoring its political critics,” he added.

Buyers Beware.....
(1) A great deal of RFK. Jr.'s opening speech had a lot of rhetoric of 19th Century Marx, and 1910's and early 1920's Socialist manifesto sounding sound bites.
(2) Please do not forget that RFK, Jr.'s is an Environmental Whacko's Whacko. He's been an ultra-nut greenie way before it became beltway fashionable. He will destroy the economy quicker than even Pedo Joe.

She might be mesmerizingly beautiful, but I can still make out what's coming out of her lips, and what her prior record was as a legislator.
Trojan Horse indeed.

No
I don’t doubt her integrity. But, she is still a leftist. Her voting record proves it

Anyone who still identifies as a Democrat in this day and age is off my list from the get go.
