“They basically both have had the establishment do everything it could to destroy them,” says former House Speaker.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. dealt a “real blow” to the Democrat Party by endorsing Donald Trump and said he’s a “natural ally” of the former president.
“I think that it’s a real blow to the Democrats…when Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says my relatives would not belong to the modern Democratic Party, I think he really knocks their whole democracy thing out and points out this is really a party of bosses and it’s a party of corruption,” Gingrich said Friday on Fox News’ “Kudllow.”
“So I think he’s very effective, particularly for younger people, in saying, ‘Look, you’ve gotta look at how bad the Democrats have become.’”
“I think when the Biden-Harris — and I want to emphasize, Biden-Harris Administration — refused to offer him Secret Service protection when his uncle and his father had both been assassinated, I thought it was one of the most despicable things I’ve ever seen an American presidency do.”
“I think he has every right to feel that he was up against a machine,” Gingrich continued. “The machine did everything it could to destroy him and so he is psychologically the natural ally of Trump because they are basically both taking on the establishment. They basically both have had the establishment do everything it could to destroy them.”
RFK Jr. said he was driven to leave the Democratic Party because it had “become the party of war, censorship, corruption, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Ag, and big money.”
“Three great causes drove me to enter this race in the first place, primarily, and these are the principal causes that persuaded me to leave the Democratic Party and run as an independent, and now to throw my support to President Trump,” Kennedy said during his speech. “The causes were: free speech, the war in Ukraine, and the war on our children.”
Democrats are reeling after his endorsement of Trump, with the Kennedy family condemning it as a “betrayal.”
