Despite dismissing RFK, Jr. as a scratched-at-the-post non-starter who never even had a chance of being a “real candidate” against Joe Biden in the democrat primary, the democrats sure seem pretty worried about the unlikely contender. Earlier this week, when RFK came to Congress to testify about censorship, the democrats hysterically tried to stop him from speaking.

In other words, they censored him. At the censorship hearing. Brilliant! No hearing needed! Case closed.

Specifically, on Thursday Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) moved to shift the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government hearing out of public session into private executive session “because Mr. Kennedy has repeatedly made despicable anti-Semitic and anti-Asian comments as recently as last week.”

So he shouldn’t be allowed to talk!

Schultz was referring to RFK’s private comment at a fundraising dinner last week that some discrete ethnic groups appear to be immune to serious covid injuries, including the Chinese, Ashkenazi jews, and the Amish. Loosely speaking, those groups’ ACE2 receptors are incompatible with spike protein, unlike in European caucasians and African Americans, who are the most susceptible. Kennedy didn’t just make it up, I was able to find a half-dozen studies concluding the same, and other studies showing worse covid outcomes for caucasians and black people. ...

After Representative Schultz made her mind-numbingly-long motion complaining at length about Kennedy’s commonsense remark about covid possibly having been designed to target specific ethnic groups, Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) successfully moved to table Schultz’s motion, and then Kennedy testified about censorship — and not about covid being an ethnic bioweapon.

After Kennedy began speaking, he held up a letter signed by 102 Democrats, including Wasserman Schultz, which ironically demanded the Republicans disinvite Kennedy from testifying at the censorship hearing at all. “This itself is evidence of the problem that this hearing was convened to address. This is an attempt to censor a censorship hearing,” Kennedy correctly and ironically pointed out.

During his remarks, RFK explained, “They had to make up a new term to censor people like me: mal-information… mal-information is information that is true but is inconvenient to the government.”

Here’s Kennedy’s complete nine-minute opening statement:

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., came out in support of President Trump's military operation in Venezuela that led to the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.

Many Democrats in Congress have come out against the strikes that led to Maduro's capture.

"The capture of the brutal, illegitimate ruler of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, who oppressed Venezuela's people is welcome news for my friends and neighbors who fled his violent, lawless, and disastrous rule. However, cutting off the head of a snake is fruitless if it just regrows," Wasserman Schultz wrote on X.

"Venezuelans deserve the promise of democracy and the rule of law, not a state of endless violence and spiraling disorder. My hope is it offers a passage to true democracy and liberation. This action offers beleaguered Venezuelans a chance to seat their true, democratically elected president, Edmundo González," she added.

Wasserman Schultz's home state of Florida has a large population of Venezuelans.
