Key Takeaways:
- Radical far-Left Democrats can’t stand that President Trump has taken away their power, and his administration has taken away their narrative.
- They are trying a new strategy for attacking and discrediting him: they are attacking and attempting to discredit his cabinet members.
- The Senate Finance Committee recently attacked HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy for his COVID-19 vaccine policies.
- Kennedy was falsely accused of being ignorant, of lying, of enacting cruel health policies, of lacking common sense, and of not following precedent.
- The Biden administration and the public health “experts” deliberately lied to the public about the dangers of COVID-19 and about the safety and effectiveness of the COVID vaccines.
- There is a reason politicians demand acceptance of whatever the major medical organizations say: they all accept large donations from the pharmaceutical industry.
The phony Russia collusion hoax.
The phony Steele dossier.
The phony campaign finance law violations.
The radical far-left Deep-State Democrats have been at war with Donald Trump ever since he ran for President in 2016.
They tried to conn the public into hating him as much as they do.
They failed.
They impeached him twice, hoping to remove him from office.
They failed.
They tried to put him in prison so he couldn’t run for President in 2024.
They failed.
But they refuse to end their politics of personal destruction.
They can’t stand that President Trump has taken away their power and that his administration has taken away their narrative.
Now they’ve launched a new strategy in their perpetual war against Trump.
It’s a proxy war against President Trump’s cabinet members.
For example, the Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee ganged up against Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Here are 5 strategies you should know about that the far-Left Deep State Democrats are using to try to shift power and to control the narrative:
- Accuse your opponent of ignorance.
Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) asked RFK, Jr. if he accepted the “fact” that a million Americans died from COVID.
Kennedy said he didn’t know how many died from the virus.
He refused to take the bait and agree with the accepted Democrat narrative.
Warner was aghast: “You’re the Secretary of Health and Human Services! You don’t have any idea how many Americans died from COVID?”
Kennedy replied, “I don’t think anybody knows that because there was so much data chaos coming out of the CDC, and there were so many perverse incentives.”[1]
Warner then grilled Secretary Kennedy on how many deaths were prevented by the COVID vaccines.
When Kennedy said there was inadequate data for lives saved or deaths prevented, Sen. Warner exclaimed, “How can you be so ignorant?”
He later said that the demand that he agree with certain narratives about COVID-19 and injections is almost religious in nature.[2]
The committee had no response when pointed out that during the Biden administration, any doctors who questioned the government narrative regarding COVID were fired.[3]
Regarding “perverse incentives,” it’s a little-known fact that during the COVID pandemic, hospitals had financial incentives to diagnose patients with COVID-19 and to put them on ventilators.
Sen. Scott Jensen (R-MN) – a Minnesota physician – said in April, 2020, “Hospital administrators might well want to see COVID-19 attached to a discharge summary or a death certificate.
“Why?
Because if it’s a straightforward, garden-variety pneumonia that a person is admitted to the hospital for – if they’re Medicare – typically, the diagnosis-related group lump sum payment would be$5,000.
“But if it’s COVID-19 pneumonia, then it’s $13,000, and if that … patient ends up on a ventilator, it goes up to $39,000.”[4]
- Accuse your opponent of lying.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) accused Secretary Kennedy of removing access to COVID vaccines for everyone except those over 65 or those with comorbidities – after promising that the vaccines would be available to everyone.
The vaccines are in fact available to anyone who wants them.
They just are not recommended any longer for healthy people.
Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN) also accused Kennedy of lying.
“When were you lying, sir?” she asked. “When you told this committee that you were not anti-vax? Or when you told Americans that there’s no safe and effective vaccine?”[5]
Kennedy responded by saying, “Both things are true.”
In other words, he is not anti-vax, and there is in fact no safe and effective COVID vaccine.
On the other hand, it was the government and the media that aggressively lied to the public about many aspects of COVID-19, such as:
- The origin of the virus
- The danger of the virus to children and to healthy adults
- The need to close schools and shut down the economy
- The effectiveness of social distancing and cloth masks
- The safety and effectiveness of mRNA vaccines to prevent people from contracting the virus transmitting it to others
- The causal relationship between the vaccines and myocarditis in young men and women
- The immunity provided by the vaccines would be greater than the natural immunity of the human body from contracting the virus
- The foolishness of oral treatments such as Hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin, Vitamin D and zinc
These lies were part of a deliberate fear-mongering strategy carried out by self-proclaimed government “experts.”
The end goal was to create enough public panic to cause Americans to surrender their freedom and submit to draconian government mandates.
- Sue your opponent for not following the policies of his predecessors.
Last May, Secretary Kennedy removed pregnant women and healthy children from the CDC-recommended COVID-19 shot schedule.
In June, he removed all 17 members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which helps craft vaccine policy and recommendations for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.[6]
“A clean sweep is necessary to reestablish public confidence in vaccine science,” he said.
Kennedy said the new members “will prioritize public health and evidence-based medicine. The Committee will no longer function as a rubber stamp for industry profit-taking agendas.”[7]
In response, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Physicians and the American Public Health Association sued the Department of Health and Human Services in July.[8]
These groups characterize Kennedy’s changes to federal COVID-19 vaccine regulations as part of a larger effort to undermine trust in vaccines among the American public.
Dr. Susan Kressly, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, told reporters, “Over the past several months, experts have been sidelined, evidence has been undermined and our nation’s vaccine infrastructure is now threatened.”[9]
The lawsuit alleges that Secretary Kennedy has violated the Administrative Procedure Act, which stipulates how changes in vaccine recommendations should be made.[10]
- Accuse your opponent of being cruel and of lacking common sense.
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) accused Secretary Kennedy of enacting an agenda that is “fundamentally cruel and defies common sense.”
If the attack was meant to put Kennedy on the defensive, it backfired.
He responded with an attack of his own:
“Senator, you have sat in that chair for how long? Twenty, twent-five years, while the chronic disease in our children went up to 76 percent, and you said nothing.
“You never asked the question, ‘Why is this happening?’ Today, for the first time in twenty years, we’ve learned that infant mortality has increased in our country.”[11]
Far from being cruel and lacking common sense, Robert Kennedy wants the HHS to find out why Americans are fatter, sicker, and more plagued by chronic disease now than ever before.
He wants to know why cases of autism have skyrocketed in recent years, and why 8 out of 10 young adults are now not fit enough to join the military.
The Democrats want to play what Bill Clinton – and later Hillary – called “the politics of personal destruction.”[12]
- Tell the public your opponent should resign or be fired.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) wrote an op-ed in The New York Times in which he stated that Robert Kennedy must resign.[13]
He claims that Kennedy is endangering the health of the American people because he doesn’t agree with what major medical organizations say about the safety and efficacy of vaccines.
Kennedy argued that the major medical organizations have been corrupted by the pharmaceutical industry.
“There’s a big difference, senator,” Kennedy replied, “between established science and the scientific establishment, which has been co-opted by the pharmaceutical industry.”[14]
Sen. Sanders then raised his voice and shouted at Robert Kennedy, accusing him of being just as corrupt.
Conflict of Interest, Corruption, and Common Sense
It should be noted in conclusion that a conflict of interest leads to dishonesty – corruption – and the abandonment of common sense.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren has received $1,224,145 in campaign donations from Big Pharma.
Sen. Bernie Sanders has received $1,953,613 from Big Pharma.
Sen. Ron Wyden has received $1,207,873 from Big Pharma.
No wonder these senators agree with everything Big Pharma says about vaccine safety and effectiveness.
Robert Kennedy has no such conflict of interest.
He is not beholden to Big Pharma or to the big medical associations and organizations.
He wants his Department of Health and Human Services to examine raw data and follow the science wherever it leads – without looking for any preconceived or desired results.
That’s not the case with Susan Monarez, the newly-confirmed Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Secretary Kennedy asked her to resign less than a month after she was confirmed.
Why?
He asked her if she was a trustworthy person and she said, “No.”[15]
Monarez told the Wall Street Journal she was fired for not rubber-stamping unproved science.
Not only did Kennedy claim this was a lie, he had witnesses.[16]
Conclusion:
The attempted shredding of Robert Kennedy by the Senate Finance Committee is just one skirmish in a protracted war.
Other cabinet members and administration officials have been attacked as well: FBI Director Kash Patel and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to name just two.
The real protagonist in the protracted war is – and always will be – President Donald Trump.
The strategy is to discredit and then destroy Robert Kennedy, a potent member of the Trump administration.
If the radical far-Left Deep State Democrats can destroy Kennedy, they reason, he “represents the outer skin of the onion.”[17]
They will next proceed against other Trump lieutenants.
