HHS Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. was sharing a conversation he had with the recently assassinated political organizer Charlie Kirk at a memorial for Kirk on Sunday.
The Kennedy family history is not short on assassination and tragedy, and Kirk asked RFK Jr., “are you afraid of dying?”
“There's a lot worse things than dying, and chief among those is losing our constitutional rights,” Kennedy responded.
RFK Jr. (right) opened his speech at The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., with an anecdote about his 17-year-old niece getting ready to attend college in Europe. He said that she packed a Bible and told her mom that she wanted "to live like Charlie Kirk."
Alex McFarland of Exploring the Word on AFR says the U.S. is unfortunately on just that path.
“Our liberties are absolutely in danger of being stolen away from us,” McFarland told AFN.
He says the rise of the radical Left, which is willing to kill someone for exercising their First Amendment freedom of speech, threatens all Americans. But at its core, this is a spiritual battle.
“Ultimately, the fight for our future is a fight about light versus darkness, the souls of people, and it's a spiritual battle. I really believe that,” McFarland said.
He says America is under attack because at one point we were very effective at spreading the Gospel.
“The devil hates America because for two centuries plus, America has been at the absolute forefront of the fulfillment of Christ's Great Commission.”
