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.
According to the Democrats, Kennedy’s recent spread of vile and dangerous antisemitic and anti-Asian conspiracy theories tarnishes his credibility as a witness and should not be legitimized with his appearance before the U.S. Congress or given the platform of an official committee hearing.
The lawmakers specifically took issue with Kennedy’s insinuation that Jewish people were a different race, comparing it to Hitler’s tactics during the Holocaust. They argue that allowing Kennedy to serve as a witness would only serve to legitimize his antisemitic and anti-Asian views.
On Monday, the Executive Director of the Congressional Integrity Project, Kyle Herrig, also wrote a letter expressing concern about Kennedy’s views, calling them “horrific antisemitic and xenophobic.”
Despite the disagreement with Kennedy’s views, Chairman Jordan has stated that he still plans to have him at the hearing, as it focuses on the issue of censorship by Big Tech.
