Halperin: RFK Jr. “Has The Potential To Go Down In History As The Most Powerful Voice Standing Up To Corporate Interests”
2Way host Mark Halperin talked about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s position in history to GOP strategist Matt Gorman and Ian Smith, a Democratic strategist and director of polling at The HUB Project.
MARK HALPERIN, 2WAY: Regarding Bobby Kennedy, first of all, I mean, when the president speaks, it takes a lot for us to spend time with some of this, but I will say this about Bobby Kennedy, and I’ve said a version of this before. I think he has the potential to go down in history as the most powerful voice standing up to corporate interests of anyone in the history of the country. I really do think he has that potential because of the platform he’s been given and because of the clarity he has. His mind is not clear about everything. I just read in the New York Post that he and his family went swimming in the Rock Creek in Washington this weekend, which no one in my life I’ve ever heard of doing. It’s a completely polluted river, so he’s not clear thinking about necessarily everything, but his clarity about the power that corporate interests have over our food, our air, our water, and our pharmaceuticals, it’s incredible the clarity he has. I disagree about his being a bad speaker. I think when he’s on, when he’s focused, I think he’s an incredible speaker, incredibly powerful speaker.
