Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has called for allegations of wide ranging bribery corruption involving Joe Biden to be investigated.
Kennedy told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo Sunday that while he has thus far avoided criticising Biden, “the issues that are now coming up are worrying enough that we really need a real investigation of what happened.”
“I mean, these revelations… where you have Burisma — which is a notoriously corrupt company that paid out apparently $10 million to Hunter and his dad — if that’s true, then it is really troubling,” Kennedy added.
Kennedy’s call comes following the release of an FBI document alleging that Burisma co-founder and CEO Mykola Zlochevsky admitted that he was “coerced” into paying both Bidens $5 million each to get a Ukrainian investigation into his company shut down.
RFK Jr. also warned that “every American needs to worry about… our federal agencies, which used to be above politics, and now [have] become weaponized as political instruments,” adding and “that, again, is another really damaging trend for our democracy.”
Watch:
Elsewhere during the interview, Kennedy reiterated comments he made last week in House hearings concerning censorship.
Kennedy urged that freedom of speech “needs to be bipartisan,” adding that “The word ‘liberal’ means freedom and applies specifically to freedom of speech. We can’t have a democracy if we don’t have freedom of speech. It is the cornerstone of our democracy. That’s why the framers, put it in the First Amendment.”
He continued, “It is as I said, it’s the sunlight, it’s the water, it’s the soil of democracy. Without free speech, democracy will wither and die. And everybody knows that. We’ve been warned about that by George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn… Heinz. Everybody knows the beginning of totalitarianism.”
“The people who censor speech when we look back in history, they’re never the good guys,” Kennedy further asserted, adding that “it’s inevitable that if you do start censoring speech because government abuses every power that it’s given and if government suddenly has the capacity to censor its critics, it is a license for any atrocity.”
