Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) has done it again, this time setting his sights on the poodle-haired, untruthful, and i sgraced former DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. The stage for this showdown was set during a new House Subcommittee session focusing on the weaponization of the federal government against the American people. Republicans brought in RFK Jr., who was censored repeatedly for his views on the COVID scam, and asked him to share his experience being silenced by his own party. It was very compelling testimony. At one point during the day, Rep. Jim Jordan, who chairs the panel, correctly referred to the government censorship as a trifecta of “big government, big tech, and big media.”
The familiar partisan script of congressional hearings was inverted Thursday when Republicans praised presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. while his fellow Democrats called him a menace to society who did not deserve the platform Republicans gave him.
The hearing encapsulated Kennedy’s unusual campaign, which has been promoted by conservatives and condemned by Democrats as a cynical ploy to derail President Joe Biden’s re-election and promote conspiracy theories.
And it provided a microcosm of the larger partisan debates over free speech, which played out in real time as Kennedy and his GOP allies accused Democrats of trying to censor him whenever they objected to the content of his message.
“I am being censored here,” Kennedy told lawmakers during the nationally televised hearing after Democrats tried to force his testimony behind closed doors.
