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.

The Democrat solution to “decline of the middle class” for 100 years has been to give more money and power to government, and their corrupt cronies.

I suspect RFK Jr. simply offering more of the same.

If not, he wouldn’t be a Democrat.

Sooner or later he’ll act like a Democrat. He has to.

But as things stand right now I’d have a real had time choosing between RFK Jr and any establishment RINO schmuck the GOP has to offer.

In his gut RFK Jr. has a lot of the Hamptons and Martha’s Vineyard in him but I’m listening to him and accepting his presence in the room I don’t have to agree with him or even vote for him but I hope he takes Biden to the woodshed shows Biden as an empty suit.

He’s a step up from Biden.

Biden is owned lock, stock, and barrel by: the woke left, China, Ukraine, and big donors.

Kennedy would at least be a sane Democrat nominee.

Me too. I’ve never agreed with a Kennedy before except for maybe JFK. A veteran of WWII.

If RFK somehow gets the nomination, he’ll be a most formidable opponent for the GOP.

Regrettably leftists do not understand COVID. Leftists view COVID as masks and vaxx only. I did not click the link so my hope is the author drove home the money the middle class is losing to inflation

I’m surprised more people haven’t noticed that when we left the lockdown in our rear view mirror, ALL OF THE JOBS NOW PAY 15 OR LESS PER HOUR.

All of the rents are leveling out as well, and car prices are also gathering at standard prices.

I saw Robert F. Kennedy Jr. interviewed on Fox News the other day and he’s a typical Progressive and talks in a raspy voice that got on my nerves.
