Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

They were embarrassed first by the civil rights movement because they said, what is the rest of the world going to think about it?

The government has to protect them from dangerous information, from things that might put bad ideas into their heads.

My friends who are Democrats see themselves as part of the good guys, the white hats.

It's unnecessary to protect the kind of speech that everybody wants to hear. It's there to protect the kind of speech that nobody wants to hear.

The first step to totalitarianism always begins with censorship.

I think Donald Trump was a terrible president. He wasn't draining the swamp he was turning the government over to corporate pirates.

You're voting for the apparatus and you're not voting for another.

The Democratic Party has won now one environmental issue, which is this carbon orthodoxy, which ends up benefiting the oil companies and Blackrock and Goldman Sachs.

We must re-evaluate our foreign policy approach and focus on strategies that truly advance our national interests.

This is a first-class calamity for our country.

To my dismay, my principal competitor in the primary, Joe Biden, did not choose that path.

They attempted to erase their work and to thwart the will of the voters who had signed those petitions.

The war gave rise to the emergence of BRICS, which now threatens to replace the dollar as the global reserve currency.

This alone would justify my support for his campaign.

Rather than those that serve the agendas of foreign powers or military contractors.

And how can this look to the rest of the world?

They installed a candidate who was so unpopular with voters that she dropped out in 2020 without winning a single delegate.

They prided themselves on their capacity to go toe to toe with any opponent in the battle over ideas.

Many worked 10-hour days, sometimes in blizzards and places like Utah and New Hampshire.

We did it because underneath the radar of mainstream media organs, we inspired a massive independent political movement.

Each time that our volunteers turned in those towering boxes of signatures needed to get on the ballot, the DNC dragged us into court state after state.

And most sadly of all, for me, the Democratic Party, in the name of saving democracy, the Democratic Party set itself to dismantling it.

We were the party of Labor, of the working class. The Democrats were the party of government transparency and the champion of the environment.

They would be astonished to learn of a Democratic party presidential nominee who, like Vice President Harris, has not appeared in a single interview or an unscripted encounter with voters for 35 days.

Conventional wisdom said that it would be impossible even to get on the ballot as an independent.
