Senator Kennedy argues that President Biden is a greater threat to democracy than Trump due to his alleged use of federal agencies to censor political speech.
On Monday, Kennedy told CNN that — in his view — Biden represents a bigger threat to American democracy than Trump , who attempted to overturn his election loss in 2020. Burnett: When people talk about the threat to democracy that Trump poses, do you really think that that is as equal to Biden ?“I can make the argument that President Biden is the much worse threat to democracy,” Kennedy told CNN’s Erin Burnett.
“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.” Burnett pressed Kennedy on how he could make that claim given Trump’s actions in the aftermath of the 2020 election, and his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. “Trying to overthrow the election clearly is a threat to democracy,” Kennedy added. “But the question was, who is a worse threat to democracy? And what I would say is … I’m not going to answer that question
