The US president is “weaponizing federal agencies” against his political opponents, Robert F Kennedy Jr has said
President Joe Biden could be a bigger danger to US democracy than former president and presumptive 2024 election rival Donald Trump, another presidential candidate, Robert F Kennedy Jr, has said. Biden is the first president in US history to mobilize federal agencies to silence his political opponents, the politician stated.
Speaking on CNN on Monday, Kennedy Jr pointed to his being blocked on various social media platforms during Biden’s term in office and branded this as an effort to “censor political speech” that violated the First Amendment of America’s constitution. He also attributed the ‘censorship’ to pressure from the White House.
Pressed by CNN’s Erin Burnett on who he believes poses a bigger threat to democracy, Kennedy stated that he still views Biden as a bigger danger, even though Trump played a role in the January 6 riot at the US Capitol.
“The question was, who is a worse threat to democracy? And what I would say is … I’m not going to answer that question. But I can argue that President Biden is, because the First Amendment, Erin, is the most important,” the candidate told presenter Erin Burnett.
“I can make the argument that President Biden is the much worse threat to democracy, and the reason for that is President Biden is the first candidate in history – the first president in history that has used the federal agencies to censor political speech, so to censor his opponent.”
The politician’s Instagram page was suspended in 2021 over what its parent company, Meta, described as “repeatedly sharing debunked claims about the coronavirus or vaccines.” The account was reinstated in 2022, shortly after Kennedy announced his election campaign.
In December, the Supreme Court barred him from joining a challenge to a case dealing with the Biden administration’s communication with social media platforms over posts the government considered disinformation. The politician also had a similar case pending in a lower court.
Last year, Kennedy testified before the House Judiciary’s subcommittee on the weaponization of the federal government, where he spoke as part of a House Republicans’ inquiry into alleged social media censorship against conservatives. The politician also made freedom of speech a focus of his presidential campaign.
Kennedy, 70, is the son of former US Attorney General Robert Kennedy and the nephew of former US President John F Kennedy, each of whom was assassinated during the 1960s. He has gained notoriety recently for being a prominent critic of vaccines, in addition to calling for an end to “proxy wars” conducted by the US – but some of his critics have dismissed many of his positions as being conspiratorial in nature.
The former Democratic Party candidate is now campaigning as an independent ahead of the November vote.

I really wish “democracy” would hurry up and die.
What do you want to replace it? Autocracy? Dictatorship?
Market anarchism.
Why replace an excised tumor, with a different-colored or shaped tumor?
Let’s start with free helicopter rides and see what comes of that.
Sometimes to make an omelet you have to drop a few thousand commies from a few thousand feet.
Death. You are out.
Whatever, but I can think of no less accountable a system than democracy.
K31…democracy certainly is a stronger veil/ feint for something else entirely, than I can recall.
Try not to vomit…I agree.
So is RFK, Jr., now that his campaign is married to the WEF via his VP pick.
Doesn’t mean he is wrong on Biden and Trump. They had a Democrat on Newsmax this morning trying to explain how RFJ jr would take votes from Trump not Biden. Cover for the steal.
“They” are full of it! I read RFK would take votes from Biden. All a bunch of malarkey. Makes for “good” tabloid reading though.
Looks like he may have joined the ranks of Orange Man, Ivanka and all.
I support Kennedy/ Shanahan.
I support myself…and it’s a full time job. If I had extra support? I wouldn’t waste it on a Kennedy, anyone north of the Mason-Dixon line, or half of those below it.
