Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made headlines on Monday with his bold statement that President Biden poses a greater threat to democracy than former President Trump. In an appearance on CNN’s “OutFront,” Kennedy Jr. argued that Biden’s use of federal agencies to censor political opponents is a dangerous abuse of power.
Kennedy Jr., who is running for president as an independent, accused Biden of “weaponizing” federal agencies like the FBI, CIA, IRS, and NIH to censor his critics. He claimed that Biden is the first president in history to use such tactics to stifle political speech, calling it a direct assault on the First Amendment.
The comments come amidst ongoing tensions between Biden and Trump, with both men accusing each other of undermining democracy. Biden has repeatedly criticized Trump for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, while Trump has claimed that Biden is the real threat to democracy.
Kennedy Jr.’s remarks have sparked a debate over the state of democracy in the United States, with some questioning whether Biden’s actions truly pose a greater threat than Trump’s alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. Despite the controversy, Kennedy Jr. stood by his assertion that Biden’s actions are more damaging to democracy.
As the 2024 presidential election approaches, Kennedy Jr.’s bold statements are sure to fuel further discussion about the future of democracy in America. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
