“The irony…is inescapable.” Ain’t it, though. Ain’t it just. RFKJr addresses…*checks notes*…a Republican convention?!?

Some excerpts:

• “So I’m 72 years old, and for 70 years of my life, I would have bet any amount of money that I would not be addressing a Republican convention. The irony of my presence here is inescapable.”
• “I attended my first Democratic convention in 1960 when I was six years old and I attended most of the conventions, the Democratic conventions, after that, and I spoke as a keynote speaker in many of them.”
• “I grew up in a Democratic Party of Franklin Roosevelt, of my uncle John Kennedy, of my father Robert Kennedy. Ours was a party of strong principles, of clear policies, and an inspiring idealistic vision for America. My uncle ran on a platform of tax cuts, strong defense, and fighting communism. Does that sound familiar?”
• “The Democrats of that era stood with labor and working people and the American middle class. Nearly every cop and firefighter was a Democrat. Our party was a champion of the Bill of Rights, and particularly for unbridled free speech.”
• “My uncle and father understood the connection between free markets and functional democracy.”
