Obviously a Dummycrap started that term. Leftards are good at branding from “global warming”, “Net Neutrality”, “social justice” etc but empty at their meaning.

In 1968, Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated by an Arab gunman for his support for Israel. He was the presumptive Democrat nominee, and a die-hard McCarthyite, who belatedly came to oppose the Vietnam War.

The Democrat party of 1968 was not run by Keith Ellison or Hillary. You can’t read history backwards. Different motivations were at play then. Now they lionize RFK, who if he were alive would now be called a right-wing fanatic, and also espouse the cause of Sirhan Sirhan, his murderer, as mainstream. John F. Kennedy cut the top tax rate, and would now be called a supply-sider, and the Dems conveniently forget that fact, too.
