During Thursday’s Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government hearing, Democrat representatives attempted to censor 2024 presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr.
Shortly after Kennedy finished his testimony, Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz requested a vote to censor him, stating that Kennedy violated House Rule 11 Clause 2.
"Mr. Kennedy has repeatedly made despicable antisemitic and anti-Asian comments as recently as last week. Rule 11 Clause 2 says whenever it is asserted by a member of the committee that the evidence or testimony at a hearing may tend to defame, degrade, or incriminate any person or it is asserted by a witness that the evidence or testimony that the witness would give at a hearing may tend to defame, degrade, or incriminate the witness."

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is a racist liar.
He’s a different kind of Democrat, but why he’s a Democrat is borderline insanity.
She's your typical Dem in Congress.
Kind of ironic given RFK Jr.’s long time advocacy of censorship:

RFK Jr says Donald Trump has ‘discredited the American experiment’

First it was Adolf Trump, then the left pivots to Adolf Putin. Now it’s Adolf Kennedy bringing discrimination and racial mayhem to America. I assume “Kennedy, Jew hater” will get the “gravitas” treatment and airtime.
He’s a dim where it counts. He’s definitely not a conservative or a Republican. Maybe a old school moderate democrat?
No matter ..maybe he will takes some votes away from brandon.
It is entertaining to watch.
Meanwhile, Tlaib has all her committee assignments, and nothing resembling censorship.
Bookmarked.
“Mr. Kennedy has repeatedly made despicable antisemitic and anti-Asian comments as recently as last week.”
I notice they don’t quote the comments. Probably because they are not actually “antisemitic” or “anti-Asian”.
“Mr. Kennedy has repeatedly made despicable antisemitic...” Dragging out the old “anti-Semitic” lie again. What a bunch of pathetic pathological liars they are.
‘Robert Kennedy Jr. Blames Reagan For 9/11 [for rolling back CAFE standards in 1986]’
So what, if we had strict enough emissions standards so that no planes could fly, then there would be no planes to hijack?
Operation Chaos
This is the Left, simply and relentlessly doing what they do these days = shutting down speech, cancelation, censoring, censuring, punishing, impugning, vilifying, all of that.
That’s after they started a movement in the ‘60s called the “Free Speech Movement.” Hollow people, they are. Children.
Would his chances improve if he were a Republican?
I rather like him, but don’t believe he could win either way, or even come close.
He’d be a great political commentator for some newspaper of note.
What is it she doesn’t get about Congress making no law abridging freedom of speech. Isn’t a censure vote of a non member of Congress essentially the same thing?
Didn’t shoot enough of them.
Think of how much time it would save at these hearings if the Dems just printed up little flags - one could say “TRUMP DID IT!!!” and the other could just say “RACISM!!” and they could just pull them out and wave them as witness testimony warrants.
