Democrats pushed for Kennedy to be silenced while Republicans attempted to shine a light on the federal government’s censorship pressure.
During a House Judiciary Select Subcommittee hearing on the Weaponization of the Federal Government that aimed to examine the federal government’s role in censoring Americans, Democrats voted to censor presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr after he responded to attacks from Rep. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI).

In her opening statement, Plaskett questioned why Republicans were holding the hearing and took aim at Kennedy. She accused Kennedy of using “hyper, superhuman, sub-human kind of language” when discussing vaccines and immunity and implied that his free speech shouldn’t be protected.
“Free speech is not an absolute,” Plaskett said. “The Supreme Court has stated that.”
Plaskett continued by claiming that the investigating Big Tech-government censorship collusion is an attempt to “bully tech and media companies into turning a blind eye to right-wing extremist conspiracies.”
Kennedy used his opening statement time to highlight the importance of the First Amendment and pointed to a letter that over 100 people had signed in an attempt to get him uninvited from the hearing as evidence of “the problem the hearing was attempting to address.
“This is an attempt to censor a censorship hearing,” Kennedy said.
Kennedy noted that he’d personally been subject to Big Tech censorship numerous times and added that since announcing his presidential run, he’d also been “subject to a new form of censorship which is called targeted propaganda.”
He continued by saying that pejoratives such as “anti-vax,” “anti-semitism,” and “racism” have been to him in order to censor him.
“These are the most appalling, disgusting pejoratives, and they’re applied to me to silence me because people don’t want me to have that conversation about the war, about groceries, about inflation, about the war on the middle class in this country that we need to be having,” Kennedy said.
