Editorial: RFK Is No Conservative. Look At His Liberal Record.

There’s an old saying that “What you do speaks so loudly I cannot hear what you say.” This certainly rings true for Conservatives and Republicans who consider voting for Robert Kennedy Jr. over President Donald J. Trump and President Joseph Biden.

I went to a recent event where RFK was the headline speaker. The purpose of the event was “non-political” in nature. He was there to share his thoughts on medical freedom during the COVID lockdowns. There were also plenty of die-hard supporters of his candidacy for Commander in Chief.

I was happy to share with folks at the event that there was a massive difference between RFK’s rhetoric and his hard core liberal record.

RFK is no conservative.

He will siphon votes from President Trump. A vote for RFK can help President Biden serve another four years in the White House. RFK can actually serve as the catalyst for our long and painful national nightmare to continue with “Crooked Joe” as President for another term.

Let’s look at the facts. RFK is more in tune with the beliefs and principles of President Biden, radical progressives, The Squad, and left wing lunatics who favor open borders, higher taxes, and big government spending. Here are specifics:

RFK supports raising taxes on every American family and a tax rate of 70%. If Bidenomics is crushing families with record high inflation, you just wait at how much it will cost to fill up your tank, buy groceries, and pay rent if RFK is in charge.

He wants to eliminate fossil fuels and impose a carbon tax and once said oil executives should get the death sentence. So much for liberals being tolerant of ideas that differ with their own.

Kennedy wants to expand the Green New Deal and supports the leftist Paris Climate Accords. If you like AOC, you’ll love RFK.

Kennedy called antisemite Louis Farrakhan “a truly great partner” but called the NRA a terrorist organization. Let that sink in for any of you who are angered at pro-terrorist protests on college campuses that are calling for the death of Israel.

Kennedy doesn’t back our fighting men and women in uniform and accused the Pentagon of contaminating our country. Can you imagine how soldiers will want to follow this weak kneed Commander in Chief?

Good people can disagree without being disagreeable. I recently went on NY1 and was asked if an RFK candidacy hurts President Trump. I did share that it was despicable that the Biden administration was not providing him Secret Service protection, especially since his father and uncle died at the hands of assassins. The more voices and choices voters have, the better.

While I appreciate RFK running and his stance on the jab and use of Ivermectin, that does not mean we turn a blind eye to his left wing policies and beliefs that will lead to further erosion of the American Dream.

President Trump will put America First, secure the border, crush cartels, invest resources here at home, get the economy moving in the right direction, reduce inflation, restore and respect law and order, and send President Biden right back to where he belongs: his basement.

Look no further than the reaction President Trump is receiving on the streets of New York City when he visits bodegas and construction sites. Blue collar workers, people of all races, colors, and creeds treat him like the rock star that he is, in a city where 68% of voters are registered Democrats.

This is why it is so critically important that Conservatives and Republicans can’t be fooled by RFK’s radical rhetoric.

If President Trump is energizing Democrats in New York City, imagine what he can do against President Biden in the race for the White House in the People’s Republic of New York?

President Trump will need every vote he can get if he is to become the first Republican since Ronald Reagan to win here.

A vote for liberal RFK is a vote for President Biden. Don’t take my word for it. Just look at his record, most certainly not his rhetoric.
