In a recent interview, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. shared his thoughts on the state of American democracy and the upcoming election. When asked about his views on President Joe Biden's alleged threat to democracy, Kennedy surprised many by directing his attention towards Biden himself.
According to Kennedy, Biden's actions regarding censorship make him a bigger threat to democracy than former President Donald Trump. He cited a recent case he won in federal court, which is currently being reviewed by the Supreme Court, as evidence of Biden's attempts to silence political speech.
This case, Murthy v. Missouri, was filed in 2022 after multiple individuals and state attorney generals accused the government of targeting online misinformation about COVID-19 and the US elections. They argued that these efforts were a form of unconstitutional censorship. Kennedy's bold statements have caused quite a stir, as he is known for his controversial conspiracy theories and strong stance against vaccinations.
In fact, Kennedy himself has faced consequences for his online activities, as his anti-vaccine group, The Children's Health Defense, was banned from major social media platforms in 2022. However, he remains steadfast in his belief that Biden's actions pose a greater threat to democracy than Trump's.
The ongoing debate between Biden and Trump over who is the bigger threat to democracy has been a central topic in American politics. While Biden points to Trump's role in the January 6th attacks on the Capitol, Trump continues to make baseless claims about the 2020 election being stolen from him. In fact, in December 2023, he went so far as to declare Biden as the "real threat."
During the interview, Burnett questioned Kennedy's argument, pointing out that he seemed to be applying different standards to Trump and Biden. Kennedy acknowledged the seriousness of the January 6th allegations but maintained that Biden's actions towards censorship and free speech were the true threat to democracy.
Ultimately, Kennedy refused to choose between the two candidates, stating that the First Amendment, which guarantees freedom of speech, is the most important aspect of democracy. His bold stance has sparked a heated discussion about the state of American democracy and the role of censorship in politics.
