RFK Jr. to Tucker: Nation Going Through ‘Political Realignment’

Former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has endorsed former President Donald Trump, believes the alliances in United States politics are changing.

He made the assertion when he spoke to former Fox News host Tucker Carlson in an interview.

“I think there’s been a bunch of realignments about political realignments by about 4 or 5 throughout American history. And I think we’re going through one right now with the Democratic Party and with both political parties really changing in a very dramatic way. And you and I talked, earlier about the transformation of a Republican Party into the party of environmentalism,” Kennedy said.

“Yeah. And, you know, the Democratic Party has one out, one environmental issue, which is carbon orthodoxy, which ends up benefiting, you know, the oil companies and Blackrock and, Goldman Sachs with offshore wind and carbon capture, you know, $100 billion carbon capture projects, which is just a strip mining in the middle class,” RFK Jr. added.

“And that’s the only issue you can talk about in the Democratic Party. I got into the environmental movement to do habitat protection and to do wildlife conservation, to get toxics out of our kids. Amen. And none of these are issues that Democrats. It’s a party itself,” he continued.

“Democrats care about them, but the party itself doesn’t. There’s been these big, profound realignments. And it’s not only on that issue. It’s really the, you know, the domination of, this, this corrupt merger of state corporate power,” the former presidential contender went on. “And it’s happening in Washington, DC now, where, our democracy has really been subverted by the industries that have taken over the regulatory agencies and they and transform them into sock puppets or corporate profit taking and, and basically wholly owned subsidiaries of the industries they’re supposed to regulate.

Kennedy added: “And the Democrats, for a variety of reasons. And I watch it happen over many, many years, have, have clung to this illusion of these democratic institutions that they’re still democratic and they have a we all have the capacity to judge ourselves on our intentions rather than our actions. Right.”
