"Who's The Biggest Threat? Biden Trump RFKJR 2024 elections"

From Michael Smerconish

"Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. argued Monday that President Joe Biden is a greater threat to democracy than former President Donald Trump.

His argument made on CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront” centered around being blocked on social media platforms during the Biden administration, which he labeled as an effort to “censor political speech” and undermine the First Amendment.

“I can make the argument that President Biden is the much worse threat to democracy, and the reason for that is President Biden is the first candidate in history – the first president in history that has used the federal agencies to censor political speech, so to censor his opponent,” he said. 

Kennedy pointed to his removal from social media platforms, which he attributes to pressure from the Biden administration, as evidence of the president’s efforts to censor political speech.

Kennedy’s Instagram account was suspended in 2021 “for repeatedly sharing debunked claims about the coronavirus or vaccines” but was reinstated last year shortly after he announced his presidential campaign. Meta, Instagram’s parent company, cited his White House bid as the reason for restoring Kennedy’s account in a statement...

I talked about this last month and I still believe this: 

"As an at best Independent Democrat at this point, whose not in love with the Democratic Party politically, or really anything else, for that matter, I would love to see Robert F. Kennedy JR. run for President as a Libertarian. Why? Because it would just confirm what I, what this blog, and what a lot of other Democrats believe about RFK JR. that he's simply a MAGA man, who at the very least doesn't want Joe Biden to be reelected and perhaps even wants Donald Trump back in The White House, where all their MAGA conspiracy theories and avenues to financially profit for them, would open up."

First of all, every time I hear Robert F. Kennedy JR. speaking about anything, my ears hurt. And it's not just because he's basically a professional conspiracy theorist at this point late in his life, after being a very successful environmental lawyer for most of his career before that and an excellent spokesman for the environment in this country. 

But it's not just that and I don't want to sound like I'm making fun of the man, especially when I already feel sorry for him and his family is embarrassed by him, but he always sounds like he's got a sore throat, or he's one of those U.S. senators whose just coming off a 24 hour straight filibuster, with no water, to block an appropriations bill or something. I'm not sure how ever his audience understands him. He's very tough on the ears from a physical perspective and not just what he has to say, which he generally never even tries to back up, let alone able to. 

As far as RFK JR. telling CNN anchor Erin Burnett, who I'm a fan of and think she does a great job and is an excellent interviewer and really doesn't take any junk (to put it mildly) from her guests, once again Bob JR. is just trying to blame President Biden for something that he can't even try to defend. 

1st of all, Meta is a private company. If they block you, it's their choice. This has nothing to do with the U.S. Government, or any other country. 

I know Bob Kennedy is new to government and politics and really has no experience whatsoever in government. But the President of the United States (regardless of who the President is) does not run private companies. 

Instagram which is a division of Meta, blocked RFK JR. back in 2021, because of his conspiracy theories that he was throwing around having to do with COVID. The U.S. Government doesn't run Instagram or any other private social media network. They had nothing to do with RFK JR. being blocked.
