During a recent interview, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reportedly expressed his belief that President Joe Biden poses a greater threat to democracy than former President Donald Trump.
Kennedy shared his thoughts in a recent interview on CNN’s “OutFront” with Erin Burnett.
“I can make the argument that President Biden is a 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.” Kennedy said.
“I can say that because I just won a case in the federal Court of Appeals and now before the Supreme Court that shows that he started censoring not just me — 37 hours after he took the oath of office, he was censoring me.” he continued.
“No president in the country has ever done that. The greatest threat to democracy is not somebody who questions election returns, but a president of the United States who uses the power of his office to force the social media companies, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter to open a portal and give access to that portal to the FBI, to the CIA, to the IRS, to CISA, to NIH to censor his political critics.” he added.
“President Biden, the first president in history, used his power over the Secret Service to deny Secret Service protection to one of his political opponents for political reasons. He’s weaponizing the federal agencies. Those are really critical threats to democracy.” he concluded.
