House Democrats urge Jim Jordan to rescind RFK Jr.’s invitation to Weaponization hearing.
House Democrats Request Disinvitation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from Social Media Censorship Hearing
Several House Democrats, led by Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Dan Goldman, and Judy Chu, have sent a letter to House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government Chairman Jim Jordan, urging him to disinvite scheduled witness Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from an upcoming hearing on social media censorship.
The lawmakers argue that Kennedy, who is running for president as a Democrat in 2024, has recently spread dangerous antisemitic and anti-Asian conspiracy theories that undermine his credibility as a witness. They believe that his appearance before the U.S. Congress and the platform of an official committee hearing should not be used to propagate his baseless and discriminatory views.
In a video, Kennedy suggested that COVID-19 could have been ethnically targeted, claiming that Jewish people and Asians were more immune to the virus. He defended himself by stating that he was using COVID-19 as an example of ethnically targeted bioweapons. However, House Democrats took issue with his insinuation that Jewish people were a different race, comparing it to Hitler’s tactics of portraying Jews as a lesser form of humanity.
Despite their disagreement with Kennedy’s views, Chairman Jordan has stated that he still plans to have him as a witness at the hearing, which aims to examine “Big Tech’s collusion with out-of-control government agencies to silence speech.”
