: Could anyone tell me about the word origin of 'red-meat rhetoric'?

"Red-meat rhetoric" can refer to a political speech which is loud, brash and in your face.

The image is one of a piece of beef dripping with blood ,very raw, uncooked or undercooked.

Most political speeches are well rehearsed and calm with an image of medium well done beef.
