Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fired back at the Democrats for pushing false claims in an effort to censor him during a House hearing on government censorship today.
The Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government has been holding a hearing this morning on Capitol Hill.
The hearing sought to tackle the supposed bipartisan issue of Democrat President Joe Bidenโs censorship of the American people, a violation of the U.S. Constitution.
During the hearing, things got heated quickly.
The Democrats, led by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), came out against free speech in a disgraceful display.
They then tried to hide their anti-American ideas by lying about star witness Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a lifelong Democrat.
But Kennedy wasnโt having it and called grand inquisitor Wasserman Schultz a liar to her face.
The Democrats tried to block Kennedy from speaking during the hearing by falsely accusing him of being an anti-Semite and twisting his previous statements on Covid restrictions.
โYou compared Covid public health policies to barbaric tactics of Nazi Germany, saying the Jewish people of Nazi Germany had more freedom than Americans,โ Wasserman Schultz falsely claimed about RFK Jr.
Kennedy fired back over the shameless false smear attack: โWhat you are saying is a lie.
โVirtually every statement that you just made about me is inaccurate.
โI spent 30 years trying to get mercury out of the fish in this country, and nobody ever called me anti-fish.โ

In his opening remarks, Kennedy discussed having his campaign announcement censored by Big Tech.
โI didnโt talk about vaccines in that speech,โ he noted.
โI didnโt talk about anything that was a verboten subject.
โI just was talking about my campaign things, the conversation that we ought to be having with each other as Americans.
โBut I was shut down.โ
Kennedy then continued by schooling the Democrats on free speech.
โAnd that is why the First Amendment is important,โ he said.
โDebate, congenial, respectful debate is the fertilizer, itโs the water, itโs the sunlight for our democracy.
โWe need to be talking to each other.
โThis is a letter, and many of you signed, many of my fellow Democrats.
โIโve spent my life in this party,โ he noted.
โIโve devoted my life to the values of this party.
โThese 102 people signed this,โ he said of the letter presented by Democrats to have Kennedy removed from the hearing.
โThis itself is evidence of the problem that this hearing was convened to address.
โThis is an attempt to censor a censorship hearing.
โThe charges and by the way, censorship is antithetical to our party.
โIt was appalling to my father, to my uncle, to FDR, to Harry Truman, to Thomas Jefferson, as the chairman referred to.
โIt is the basis for democracy.
โIt sets us apart from all of the previous forms of government.
โWe need to be able to talk,โ he asserted.
โAnd the First Amendment was not written for easy speech.
โIt was written for the speech that nobody likes you for.
โAnd I was censored not just by the Democratic administration.
โI was censored by the Trump administration.
โI was the first person censored by the as the chairman pointed out, by the Biden administration.โ
