Masterful: RFK Jr. Destroys Democrats Trying To Censor Him At 2023 House Weaponization Hearings

Posted • August 24, 2024: More than a year ago, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wasn't a candidate running as a Democrat for president. He hadn't yet made the decision to leave the political party he literally grew up in to run as an Independent, after the powers that be in that party sued to keep him off ballots across the country, and leaned on their media lackeys to defame his character. And no one could have conceived of him suspending his campaign and endorsing a Republican for president, former President Donald Trump, which just happened on Friday. No, in the summer of 2023, he was the founder of a nonprofit focused on children's health, Children’s Health Defense (CHD). Kennedy was invited to address the House Weaponization Committee as a part of the hearings on the collusion between the Biden administration and Big Tech to censor opinions they did not want to be shared. But before Kennedy could speak, the ranking Democrat member and other Democrats on the committee sought to tear down his reputation with wild accusations about him.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) just re-shared a clip from the July 20, 2023, hearing, in which Massie ceded some of his own speaking time so that RFK Jr. could explain a term he used, "malinformation." But Kennedy began by responding to that cavalcade of Democrat "defamations" of his character about allegedly telling Black people not to take vaccines, being an adherent of Replacement Theory, etc. -- Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie: “Last year I had the chance to ask Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about the term '#malinformation' in our Weaponization committee. Democrats tried to keep him from testifying that day because he tells it like it is.” -- He is masterful here. And the members continuing to interrupt his point just prove the reason for the hearings to take place. They do/did not want him to speak. What was gained by this tactic, if anything? As you can see, RFK Jr. was forced to spend over four minutes correcting the record--four minutes that he could have used to share valuable information to help the American people understand what their government is doing.

But that isn't what is important to the other side of the aisle. They work to besmirch someone's character with the public, and tie them up with time-wasting hassles, so that their message never reaches the intended audience. (…)
