Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said President Joe Biden is more of a threat to democracy than Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump because of his censorship of political opponents.

“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 … to censor his opponent,” Kennedy said in an interview with CNN.

“I can say that because I just won a case in the federal court of appeals and now before that Supreme Court that shows that he started censoring,” Kennedy said.

Kennedy said Biden has used his powers as president to fight his political opponents.

Biden “has used the federal agencies to censor political speech,” Kennedy said.

Kennedy was referring to a case before the “Supreme Court that could affect the level of contact between government officials and social media companies regarding content removal,” NBC News reported.

“A majority of Supreme Court justices appeared to be wary of arguments that the Biden administration was unlawfully telling social media platforms to take down problematic conduct,” per the outlet.

Kennedy has used social media to spread misinformation related to vaccines and COVID-19. 

The Children’s Health Defense group, an anti-vaccine group led by Kennedy, was kicked off Instagram and Facebook in 2022 for spreading misinformation about vaccines and COVID, NBC News reported.

After the interview with CNN, the Democratic National Committee did not mince words of what it thought of Kennedy’s stance.

“With a straight face Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that Joe Biden is a bigger threat to democracy than Donald Trump because he was barred from pushing conspiracy theories online,” DNC senior adviser Mary Beth Cahill said. “There is no comparison to summoning a mob to the Capitol and promising to be a dictator on day one.”

“Robert F. Kennedy Jr. laid to rest tonight any doubts that he’s a spoiler candidate by pushing his MAGA talking points in prime time,” she said.

There has been speculation that Kennedy’s presence in the election will take votes away from Biden in favor of Trump, per NBC News.
