RFK Jr.: Biden Weaponizing Federal Agencies to Censor His Political Opponents Is the Biggest Threat to Democracy

EXCERPT:

KENNEDY JR.: "By the way, I said I could make that argument, and I think it is an argument that we ought to be having. President Biden has done something that no other president in history has done, which is to order media, particularly the social media, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Google, to censor his political opponents. You know, I can say this because I just won a lawsuit in the federal court of appeals, now before the Supreme Court, because he began censoring me 37 hours right after he took the oath of office swearing to defend the Constitution. White House officials were on e-mail with Facebook, saying to them, 'You have to take down his post.' Facebook actually pushed back saying, 'There's no information here. Actually, what he's saying here is accurate,' and they had to make up a new term called 'malinformation,' which is information that is accurate, but nonetheless inconvenient to — you know, politically inconvenient. So, the First Amendment was put in the Constitution, Madison, Hamilton, Adams said, 'We put free expression to guarantee the First Amendment because all the other rights are dependent on it.' If you have a president who can censor his political opponent, he is licensed for any kind of atrocity. That is a genuine threat to our democracy. You know, I think what President Trump said about questioning the election and, you know, to the extent that he engaged in an effort to overthrow, of course that's a threat to democracy, but it is not the worst threat undermining the First Amendment of the Constitution. And then weaponizing the federal agencies to get his opponents off the ballot, and in my case, I'll just say particularly, denying me Secret Service protection, that's never happened in history before."
