(Congressional Agenda) – Last Friday, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his campaign, throwing his support behind former President Donald Trump, the GOP nominee. And he’s already getting to work by writing up an amazing and heartfelt defense of the Make America Great Again movement, also known as MAGA. Clearly, Kennedy is a man who is intelligent and capable of seeing through all of the false narratives the propaganda makers put forward to try and paint MAGA out as domestic terrorists and racists. When you read what he had to say on social media, you’ll see what I mean.
Kennedy titled his post, “What ‘MAGA’ Really Means.”
“The phrase has troubled liberals who think it is a call for a return to an America before civil rights, gay rights, and women’s rights. But I have a more generous interpretation, one that is truer to my experience of Donald Trump as he is today,” the former Democrat wrote, according to The Western Journal.
“‘Make America Great Again’ recalls a nation brimming with vitality, with a can-do spirit, with hope and a belief in itself. It was an America that was beginning to confront its darker shadows, could acknowledge the injustice in its past and present, yet at the same time could celebrate its successes,” Kennedy explained in his post. “It was a nation of broad prosperity, the world’s most vibrant middle class, and [an] idealistic belief (though not consistently applied) in freedom, justice, and democracy. It was a nation that led the world in innovation, productivity, and technology.”
Kennedy finished by saying, “And it was the healthiest country in the world. I have talked to many Trump supporters. I have talked with his inner circle. I have talked to the man himself. This is the America they want to restore.”

The post, as of Monday morning, had received a whopping 291,000 likes on X.
At a press conference that was held on Friday in the city of Phoenix, Kennedy announced that he would be suspending his presidential campaign and yanking his name off the ballot in 10 critical swing states where folks casting a ballot for him would actually be helping Kamala Harris. He went a step further and endorsed Trump, providing three reasons for doing so. The first is due to his support for freedom of speech, the second is because he wants to see the Ukraine-Russia conflict brought to an end, and the third is the country’s childhood health epidemic.
“During a ‘Fox News Sunday’ interview over the weekend, Kennedy recounted that after speaking by phone and meeting with Trump following last month’s assassination attempt his views on the 45th president began to change,” the report noted.
“The broad issues that were most important to me, the ones that brought me into the campaign, which was ending the Ukraine war, ending the censorship and protecting children’s health, reforming our food supply, all the things we need to do to make our children healthy again, those are all things that President Trump also wanted to work on,” he remarked.
Kennedy then stated that one of Trump’s goals is to start a “unity government” and that both of the men agreed they would be free to criticize one another on issues where they are not in agreement. That’s how the American system is supposed to function. People can work together in areas where they are in agreement and vocalize disagreement when they aren’t on the same page. It’s what leads to progress.
“There has been no commitment from Trump that RFK Jr. would be in his administration should the Republican win, Kennedy said, but just an agreement to work together on these issues,” the article disclosed. “The Real Clear Polling average shows Harris with a 2 percentage point lead nationally over Trump (46.4 to 44.4 percent), with RFK Jr. pulling 5 percent of the vote. Kennedy’s nationwide support dropped by about 3 points after President Joe Biden left the race and Vice President Kamala Harris took over the top of the Democratic ticket last month.”
Pollster Frank Luntz says that RFK Jr. endorsing Trump could “make the difference” in swing states and propel Trump to victory.

A piece from Newsweek revealed that despite having some pretty liberal views on issues like abortion, many of the folks supporting RFK were voters who would have voted for Trump, thus his pulling out of the race brings those votes back to the former president and will give him a much needed edge in the battle for the White House.

This legacy will live on.

“All-The-WAY”
Democrats are still so obsessed about Trump winning the White House in 2016 and beating the idiot he was up against. That they only want him in jail “forever” for doing what AMERICANS needed. Leaving out the ELITISTS for trash. As they all are.
Unbelievable. To think so positive of this “criminal”No MAGA stands for bring back America to what it has been in the past.
That all the work to help workers, women, and minorities back to what it was and could be again.. Don’t believe a person who has tried to get away with breaking the law, believes in the American Dream. He got a chance to show his direction of policies. With what he has done in the Washington debacle is actually l believe is unAmerican. No what l think is he has promised his colleagues who support him to give them a chance for jobs, etc.
