In a shocking revelation, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has declared that President Joe Biden is a greater threat to democracy than former President Donald Trump.
This alarming statement comes at a time when the nation is still struggling to move on from the divisive 2020 election, and many were not expecting this accusation to come from a nonpartisan candidate.
During an interview on CNN’s “OutFront” with Erin Burnett, Kennedy made his case for why he sees Biden as a real danger to our democratic values. He pointed out that Biden is the first president in history to use federal agencies to censor political speech and silence his opponents.
According to the Dailywire, when asked about Biden, Kennedy said,
A FEW MOMENTS LATER, BURNETT ASKED KENNEDY: “SO, JUST TO BE CLEAR, YOU’RE SAYING YOU COULD MAKE AN ARGUMENT THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN IS A WORSE THREAT TO DEMOCRACY THAN DONALD TRUMP?”
“ABSOLUTELY,” KENNEDY RESPONDED. “WHO ELSE HAS EVER TRIED TO — WHO ELSE HAS EVER TRIED TO — WHAT PRESIDENT IN HISTORY HAS EVER TRIED TO CENSOR POLITICAL OPPONENTS? WHAT PRESIDENT HAS WEAPONIZED THE FEDERAL AGENCY? NO PRESIDENT HAS EVER DONE THAT BEFORE, EXCEPT FOR JOE BIDEN.”
Kennedy himself has experienced this censorship firsthand, as he recently won a case against the Biden administration for censoring his own speech on social media.
But it doesn’t stop there. Kennedy argued that Biden has even gone so far as to deny Secret Service protection to one of his political opponents, solely for political reasons. This unprecedented move by a sitting president shows just how far Biden is willing to go to silence his critics and maintain his power.
“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,” he added. “Those are really critical threats to democracy.”
Kennedy also highlighted the danger of a president using his influence to force social media companies to censor opposing viewpoints. This goes against the foundation of our democracy, which values free speech and the exchange of ideas. Yet, President Biden has no qualms about using his power to intimidate and silence those who disagree with him.
In his final remarks, Kennedy stated that these actions by Biden pose a grave threat to our democracy and should not be ignored. As an independent candidate, he has no allegiance to either party, and his words should be taken seriously by all Americans.
