Democrat candidate for president Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. went farther on Sunday than he has previously in criticizing President Joe Biden for the latter's (alleged) corruption. During live in-studio interview with FOX News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures at 10:30 A.M. E.T. (video and article here), Kennedy, when first asked about how he feels about Biden, said as he has on other occasions that "I have avoided criticizing the president because I'm trying to bring people together."
After Bartiromo said, "But corruption is corruption," Kennedy commented without hesitation, "But you're right. And I think that the issues that are now coming up are worrying enough that we need a real investigation of what happened. These revelations about [unintelligible] Burisma, which is a notoriously corrupt company, paid out $10 million to Hunter and his dad — if that's true, then it is really troubling. So I think that needs to be investigated."

The first part of the ten-minute interview was about the efforts by leading Democrat politicians to censor Kennedy, who was invited to give testimony at a congressional hearing about censorship "and Big Tech's collusion with out-of-control government agencies to silence speech" last Thursday. Kennedy was met with attempts by the committee's Democrat members to shut him down and prevent him from answering their questions and responding to their attacks, including that he is a dangerous racist and anti-Semite.
On Saturday, The Hill reported that the Democrat party has now shifted its strategy to combat Kennedy, who is perceived as a growing threat to the re-election of President Biden. In "Democrats put RFK Jr. on blast in change of strategy," The Hill reports:
