Donald Joe Trump vs Biden
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the independent presidential candidate, apparently shocked a CNN reporter when he said in a recent interview that he could make the argument that President Joe Biden is a bigger threat to democracy than former president Donald Trump.
From RFK.Jr.:
“Him (Trump) trying to overthrow the election clearly is a threat to democracy. But the question was, who is a worse threat to democracy and what I would say is… I’m not going to answer that question, but I can argue that President Biden is.”
According to Amber Duke in The Spectator, Kennedy Junior pointed out that he recently won a court case in which he accused the Biden administration of weaponizing federal agencies to censor the political speech of Americans.”
The court found that the Biden administration improperly coordinated with Big Tech companies to remove content they deemed “misinformation” or “conspiracy theories.”
The Biden Department of Justice has arrested pro-life activists they claim violated the FACE Act, targeted traditional Catholics under the guise they may become domestic extremists and created threat tags for parents who protest at school board meetings. More broadly, Democrats in multiple states attempted to remove Trump from the ballot using the Fourteenth Amendment, a move that was struck down in a 9-0 decision from the Supreme Court.
Outsized Focus on “Saving Democracy”
Complicating the outsized focus on “saving democracy” from Trump are polls that show democracy falling far behind immigration and the economy as top issues for voters and that voters are split on which candidate will do a better job of “protecting democracy.”
NBC News found that Biden only has a two-point advantage on that question, while Trump enjoys a thirty-five-point advantage on immigration, twenty-two points on the economy, and twenty-one points on dealing with crime and violence.
