In the latest show of irony and hypocrisy from the Democrat Party, their members attempted to censor President John F. Kennedy’s nephew, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., during a U.S. House Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.
The Democrats on the subcommittee attempted to censor Kennedy, being led by Del. Stacey Plaskett (D-Virgin Islands), who tried to stifle the 2024 Democrat presidential candidate.
“This is not the kind of free speech that I know of,” Plaskett said. “Free speech that is protected by the Constitution’s First Amendment. Free speech is not an absolute,” she claimed.
Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Florida) pointed out that Plaskett took campaign cash from now-deceased convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Florida) attacked Kennedy, claiming he made antisemitic remarks because last week he said Chinese and Ashkenazi Jewish people were less susceptible to Covid-19 while Caucasian and Black people were targets of the disease.
Forbes reported, “Kennedy Jr. said the comments—recorded in a video published by the New York Post—were about a study funded by the National Institutes of Health and conducted by ‘Cleveland Clinic scientists,’ which Wasserman Schultz said was not cited by him in the video published by the Post.”
“Actually, the study [I cited doesn’t] say that it was suggested that it was deliberately manipulated. And I never suggested that it was deliberately manipulated. In fact, I said the opposite,” Kennedy, Jr. said of the NIH-published study in response to the Democrat’s attack.
“You’re slandering me; this is dishonest,” he added.
Wasserman Schultz then tried to make a motion, unsuccessfully, to move the conference to “executive session,” which would have gagged Kennedy, Jr. from his further testimony in front of the subcommittee.
“Many of my fellow Democrats, I’ve spent my life in this party. I’ve devoted my life to the values of this party,” Kennedy told panel members in his opening statement.
“This itself is evidence of the problem that this hearing was convened to address,” he said, holding up the letter against him led by Reps. Wasserman Schultz, Dan Goldman (D-New York), and Judy Chu (D-California). “This is an attempt to censor a censorship hearing.”
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) told Fox News that the Democrat Party is the “party of censorship,” telling the network, “We have our right to talk, our right to speak and to speak in a political fashion and not be harassed and targeted for doing so.”
“But they did it to, of all people, the most famous name in Democrat politics for the last, ¾ of a century – the Kennedy name. And they’re so committed to this censorship, they’re even going after him right now,” Jordan added.
