RFK Jr. defends himself against complaints of racist online misinformation

During a House hearing on government censorship, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. vigorously defended himself against accusations of trafficking in racist and hateful online conspiracy theories.

Despite calls from outside groups to disinvite him due to recent antisemitic remarks, he testified before the Republican-led Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.

The subcommittee is amplifying GOP claims that conservatives and others face unfair targeting by technology companies, which collaborate with the government to combat online disinformation.

Democrats, on the other hand, emphasized that while free speech is essential, it also comes with the responsibility not to spread misinformation, especially if it incites violence, the Associated Press reported.

In his opening remarks, Kennedy referenced his famous family’s legacy while denouncing the accusations of racism and antisemitism directed at him.
