Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a former Democrat and independent running as a third-party candidate for president in 2024, said President Joe Biden poses a “far more serious threat to democracy than former President Donald Trump.” ”, it can be argued that
President Kennedy made this comment during an appearance on CNN. out front Erin Burnett asked, “You said earlier that you think Trump and Biden are essentially the same, different issue. Do you really think that?”
“When people talk about the threat to democracy posed by President Trump, do they really think that’s equivalent, equal, to Biden?” she pressed.
In response, President Kennedy pointed to the fact that President Biden, 81, has weaponized federal agencies and is using them to censor political opponents, saying, “You could argue that President Biden is an even more serious threat to democracy.” ‘ he objected.
RFK Junior Said:
The reason is that President Biden is the first candidate and the first president in history to use a federal agency to censor political speech, which means censoring his opponent. I can say that because I won the case in the federal appeals court and now in the Supreme Court, he started censoring me, not just me, but 37 hours after his oath of office he started censoring me. Because it shows.
“No president in this country has ever done anything like that before,” Kennedy continued, adding, “The greatest threat to our democracy is not someone who questions the results of an election, but someone who uses his power to force social media.” He’s the President of the United States.” He wanted companies, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to open portals and give access to the portals to the FBI, CIA, IRS, CISA, and NIH to censor his political critics. ”
“President Biden, the first president in history, used his authority over the Secret Service, the Secret Service, to deny Secret Service protection to one of his political opponents for political reasons,” Kennedy continued, noting that Biden ” It is weaponizing federal agencies.”
“These are really serious threats to democracy,” he added.

But Mr. Burnett pressed Mr. Kennedy, who failed to recognize Mr. Trump as a greater threat to democracy (a favorite narrative on the left).
“Of course Donald Trump tried to overturn a free and fair election. He tried to overturn one, right? He’s still fighting it in court,” she said, adding, “How could that be against a democracy?” Isn’t it a threat?” he added.
President Kennedy said: “If he – trying to overthrow him – trying to overturn an election is clearly a threat to democracy, then I think that’s a threat to democracy.” , sticking to his initial assessment that Biden poses a more serious threat to democracy.
He said:
But the question was: Who was the worst threat to democracy? And I mean, I’m not going to answer that question, but you can argue that President Biden is because the First Amendment, Erin, is the most important. But Adams, Hamilton, and Madison said they included a guarantee of freedom of expression in the First Amendment because all other constitutional rights depend on it. …If there is a government that can silence its opponents, then that government is allowed to commit any atrocities.
“So, just to be clear, are you saying you can make the case that President Biden is a more serious threat to democracy than President Donald Trump?” Barnett asked again.
“That’s right,” President Kennedy added, emphasizing that the weaponization of federal agencies is abhorrent.
clock:
Poll after poll shows Kennedy’s presence in the race supporting Trump rather than Biden, and Trump welcomes Kennedy’s entry into the race. He recognizes Kennedy as Biden’s “political opponent, not me.”
“RFK Jr. is by far the most radical leftist candidate in this race. He’s a big fan of the Green New Scam and other economic-destroying disasters,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “I think this means he’s going to take votes away from Crooked Joe Biden. That would be a great service to America.”
