(Natural News) Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s 2024 presidential campaign has certainly hit the ground running with the Democrat hopeful calling out his party for promoting censorship.
In a statement this week, Kennedy, the nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy, blasted the Democrats for becoming champions of anti-free speech policies that supposedly aim to silence “misinformation.”
Speaking to Breitbart News host Joel Pollak, Kennedy highlighted the fact that “there is no time in history where the people censoring speech were the good guys,” no matter how aggressively they touted their agenda as being positive.
As someone who has borne the brunt of censorship firsthand, Kennedy says that free speech and the First Amendment are vital to a healthy, well-functioning America.
“I’m wondering if you can make a pitch to our audience about a common cause that you, running as a Democrat, may have with many conservatives who feel that they’ve been canceled or otherwise censored or marginalized in public discourse,” Pollak asked Kennedy.
“It’s more than a personal aggrievement,” Kennedy responded. “It’s really just a direct assault on our democracy.”

In order for the rest of the Constitution to be upheld, you must have the First Amendment, Kennedy says
In Kennedy’s view, the entire Constitution is dependent upon the First Amendment. This was the idea the founding fathers had when they crafted the Bill of Rights, he maintains.
