Kennedy Jr. ripped President Biden for his effort to censor his opposition, calling it \u201canti-American.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/video\/6350137083112\">Appearing<\/a> on Fox &#038; Friends, Kennedy was asked about his previous comment that Biden was a \u201cmuch worse threat to democracy\u201d than former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cBy the way, I said I could make that argument, and I think it is an argument that we ought to be having,\u201d Kennedy began. \u201cPresident Biden has done something that no other president in history has done, which is to order media, particularly the social media, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Google, to censor his political opponents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, I can say this because I just won a lawsuit in the federal court of appeals, now before the Supreme Court, because he began censoring me 37 hours after he took the oath of office swearing to defend the Constitution,\u201d he recalled. \u201cWhite House officials were on e-mail with Facebook, saying to them, \u2018You have to take down his post.\u2019 Facebook actually pushed back saying, \u2018There\u2019s no misinformation here. Actually, what he\u2019s saying here is accurate,\u2019 and they had to make up a new term called \u2018malinformation,\u2019 which is information that is accurate, but nonetheless inconvenient to \u2014 you know, politically inconvenient.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe First Amendment was put in the Constitution \u2014Madison, Hamilton, Adams said, \u2018We put free expression to guarantee the First Amendment because all the other rights are dependent on it,\u201d\u2019 he noted, adding, \u201cIf you have a president who can censor his political opponent, he is licensed for any kind of atrocity. That is a genuine threat to our democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI think what President Trump said about questioning the election \u2026 to the extent that he engaged in an effort to overthrow that, of course that\u2019s a threat to democracy, but it is not the worst threat undermining the First Amendment of our Constitution,\u201d he stated, then turned back to Biden: \u201cAnd then weaponizing the federal agencies to get his opponents off the ballot, and in my case, I\u2019ll just say particularly, denying me Secret Service protection, that\u2019s never happened in history before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cDoes he know that your dad was assassinated?\u201d Fox News\u2019 Brian Kilmeade asked.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cHe has a bust of my father behind him,\u201d Kennedy answered. \u201cIt\u2019s just not right \u2026 the use of the courts, the use of prosecutors, the use of all these federal agents to change our political landscape is wrong and we should be debating about it. You know what? What President Biden did with his censorship project is \u2026 he told the social media companies, \u2018We\u2019re going to bring anti-trust cases against you and we\u2019re going to withdraw your Section 230 immunity \u2014 which is existential for those companies \u2014 if you don\u2019t give us a portal to censor.\u2019 And then who did he give access to that portal? The CIA, the FBI, CISA, the IRS, NIA. So you had all these federal agencies that were now able to silence people who were questioning their policies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cAnd that is really anti-American and anti-democratic,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]>document.createElement('video');<![endif]--> <video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-718341-1\" width=\"720\" height=\"406\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2024\/04\/2024-04-02-Grabien-Fox_News_Channel_28FNC29-Fox_and_Friends-Robert_F._Kennedy_Jr._28RFK_Jr.29-2357739.mp4\">https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2024\/04\/2024-04-02-Grabien-Fox_News_Channel_28FNC29-Fox_and_Friends-Robert_F._Kennedy_Jr._28RFK_Jr.29-2357739.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robert F.
