in World News RFK Jr. Confirms ‘The Deep State Is Real’
by Matt Margolis
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just confirmed what conservatives have known all along: the Deep State is real, and it’s embedded within our federal agencies.
During his first visit to the FDA alongside Commissioner Marty Makary, Kennedy didn’t mince words when addressing FDA employees. And what he said validates everything President Trump has been saying for years.
“President Trump always talks about the Deep State, and the media, you know, disparages him and says that he’s paranoid,” Kennedy stated. “But the Deep State is real. And it’s not, you know, just George Soros and Bill Gates and a bunch of nefarious individuals sitting together in a room and plotting the, you know, the destruction of humanity.”
Instead of shadowy figures meeting in dark rooms, Kennedy pointed to something more insidious: institutional pressures that have transformed regulatory agencies into industry puppets. In fact, he didn’t hesitate to call the FDA a “sock puppet” of the very industries it’s supposed to regulate.
One area where Kennedy said he has seen this within the FDA is its Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) system, which he says acts as a “loophole” for food companies. In March, Kennedy directed the FDA to reevaluate its policies on food companies obtaining approval before adding new ingredients to their products. He believes that “eliminating this loophole” will not only provide consumers with more transparency, but will be key in improving Americans’ health.
The HHS secretary has not hidden his disdain for the FDA, especially as he spoke throughout the 2024 election cycle about what changes he believes are crucial to improving Americans’ health. About a week and a half before the election, Kennedy — who had already endorsed now-President Donald Trump — issued clear warnings on social media to those who “work for the FDA and are part of this corrupt system.”
