The longshot Democratic presidential candidate is testifying on alleged social media censorship, at the invitation of House Republicans.
House Republicans are openly goading their Democratic colleagues by handing a megaphone to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Democrats are determined to make sure it backfires.
Rep. Gerry Connolly put it more simply, calling Kennedy’s appearance another example of Republicans having “crackpots for witnesses.” In addition to Kennedy — who has billed himself as the “prime witness” — Republicans have also called in an editor from the ultra-right publication Breitbart and D. John Sauer, the special assistant attorney general from the Louisiana Department of Justice.
“I don’t want to leave the hearing room for the Republicans to have a free-for-all without being checked on inaccuracies and spreading more hate,” said Del. Stacey Plaskett , the top Democrat on the Judiciary subcommittee that investigates GOP claims of bias within the federal government. Linda Sánchez said experts had already “refuted all of his crazy theories,” referring to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s recent false claims about Covid-19. | Drew Angerer/Getty Images
Biden allies have “been trying to censor their Democratic opponent” since the start of the administration, Jordan said, referring to criticism that Kennedy’s invitation amounted to stepping into the 2024 Democratic primary. Jordan also defended his witness track record, saying that he’s “invited more Democrats than probably Democrats have.”
