The Biden/Harris admin has been a disaster. But things are about to get a whole lot worse for them.
As a federal judge hands down a decision that could destroy the Biden administration.
Ever since Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK JR.) announced that he was suspending his 2024 presidential campaign last week, he’s gone scorched earth on the current Democrat Party.
He claims that the Democrats are not a party that his father, Robert F. Kennedy, and his uncle, John F. Kennedy, would recognize today.
Not only that, but RFK Jr. also claims that the government under the leadership of the Left, is actively involved in censorship.
But now, Kennedy is in position to fight back against the radical Democrat Party and their efforts to silence those they disagree with.
Judge Rules Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Can Sue Biden Admin Over Alleged Censorship Through Social Media
A federal judge has granted Robert F. Kennedy Jr. the ability to pursue legal action against the Biden administration, accusing it of pressuring social media companies to censor content from his charity, Children’s Health Defense (CHD), which questions vaccine safety.
U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty of Louisiana stated in his ruling, “The Court finds that Kennedy is likely to succeed on his claim that suppression of content posted was caused by actions of Government Defendants, and there is a substantial risk that he will suffer similar injury in the near future.”
This ruling represents a significant step forward in Kennedy’s efforts to challenge coordinated censorship by the government.
The lawsuit claims that federal officials exerted pressure on major platforms, including Facebook, X (formerly known as Twitter), and YouTube, to suppress content that they considered misinformation.
The content in question largely pertains to CHD’s views on vaccine safety, which have been met with considerable controversy.
Children’s Health Defense, founded by Kennedy, says its mission is to “end childhood health epidemics by eliminating toxic exposure.” However, critics have labeled the organization “anti-vaccine.”
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in contrast, has consistently maintained that vaccines, including the COVID-19 vaccine, are “safe and effective.”
CHD’s general counsel, Kim Rosenberg, hailed the ruling, stating, “Judge Terry Doughty carefully and clearly analyzed the law and facts and applied the framework from the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in Murthy v. Missouri regarding standing.”
She emphasized that “the court also firmly found in plaintiffs’ favor that plaintiffs had not waived — and indeed had affirmatively raised — direct censorship claims in addition to listener claims.”
The legal precedent cited, Murthy v. Missouri, is another case in which Republican attorneys general from Missouri and Louisiana accused the Biden administration of influencing social media companies to censor specific content.
Although the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the plaintiffs in that case had not proven direct harm, Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s decision noted that “the evidence indicates that the platforms had independent incentives to moderate content and often exercised their own judgment.”
In contrast to Murthy v. Missouri, Judge Doughty found direct evidence that the censorship of Kennedy’s charity was linked to government action.
The case will now return to a lower court for further review, and the injunction related to the charity’s claims will be evaluated.
This legal development arrives at a pivotal moment for Kennedy, as it coincides with his decision to suspend his presidential campaign and endorse former President Donald Trump.
