Dems’ Failed Attempt to Censor RFK Jr. at Hearing

House Democrats Attempt to Censor Robert ⁣Kennedy ​Jr. at Censorship Hearing

House Democrats made ‌a controversial​ move during a hearing on censorship, trying to censor Democratic Party candidate for president, Robert Kennedy Jr. The attempt was led by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), who cited‍ Kennedy’s alleged anti-Semitic and anti-Asian comments as the reason for the motion.

Wasserman Schultz referred to a House rule against defamatory testimony, which would allow the committee to determine whether to allow such testimony during the ​open hearing. Kennedy’s remarks about COVID-19 being “ethnically targeted” to spare certain⁤ races, particularly Ashkenazi Jews and‌ Chinese people, were the focus of the controversy.

Despite the motion, a vote was held and the GOP majority’s motion to ⁣table the censorship attempt ‌succeeded, allowing the hearing to continue as planned. Kennedy, ⁤who has gained significant ‌support ⁢in‌ the 2024 ⁣Democratic Party primary polling, delivered‍ an opening statement denying any racist or anti-Semitic intent in his words.

The hearing, chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH),⁤ aimed to examine the federal government’s role in censoring Americans, ⁣the Missouri v. Biden case, and Big Tech’s collusion with government agencies to silence speech. The other witnesses at the hearing were Breitbart News Politics Editor Emma-Jo Morris and D. John⁣ Sauer, special assistant attorney general at the Louisiana Department of‍ Justice.
