Robert F. Kennedy Jr. testifies about censorship claims before House subcommittee

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. testified Thursday on Capitol Hill at Republicans' invitation at a hearing on the "weaponization of the federal government." The presidential candidate has been condemned by members of his own family for amplifying false, racist claims about COVID-19 and vaccines. CBS News congressional correspondent Nikole Killion has more.

RFK was presidential, passionate, diplomatic, genuine, human and intelligent. He fights for transparency and constitutional rights, and they are afraid of him. Amazing to see. #kennedy24

[ryanbradley]

No one finds it hilarious they tried to censor him before testimonies even began?

[judjudersawn]

RFK makes the democrats against him look like middle schoolers. And he does it without political games. He’s just smarter and more classy than them. Amazing.

[imagemovers]

He speaks logically, eloquently and wins arguments. Easier to deplatform him than have Joe elevate his speech...they're so scared of him its so funny...Let him speak!

[WZY]

CBS reports at length about what RFK said without showing viewers what he said.

[valkimura]

Most politicians talk in clear voices but emit nonsense and garbage. RFK Jr talks with a mangled voice but speaks volumes of crystal clear truth.

I found it pretty funny she kept interrupting him. Then gets told not to censor him. Then continues trying to interrupt and censor him. 😂 This guy makes watching the news fun again.

[Jimjam]

CBS you should’ve played the entire speech!!! When will journalist report instead of their opinion

[m.a.nugent]

RFJ has to constitutional right say what he wants to say!!!

[annettetriplett]

did anyone hear what he said about vaccines not being FDA APRROVIED

[tallchick]

They fear him as well (or especially) the truth.

[corynelson]

He came across as a very reasonable person who was silenced by government. Probably because they fear people will vote for him.

Whenever someone gets smeard and lide about this hard, you know they're a threat.

I am not a United States cititizen. As a citizen of the world I am thankful for Mr. Robert Kennedy jr. This is a historic testimony. His name will be cleaned and his credibility restored. His honesty and willingness to risk it all for truth and freedom, is an example and will be honored by many generations to come.

[debbierhode]

I am Not Democrat I lean Republican but I would vote for this man. He needs to get on a Libertarian party or Independent. He is NOT a Democrat anymore. The Party left him.

[ashleyhowell]

And yes the journalist continue to misrepresent what he said

[joypmor]

Impressive, honest man he turns out to be

[benlagging]

For anyone wondering if the study he references is real. It is called "New insights into genetic susceptibility of COVID-19: an ACE2 and TMPRSS2 polymorphism analysis."

[jasoncox]

I'm a Republican that wants this guy to make it. He is saying the quiet part out loud. Haha he is a Patriot not just a Democrat.

[sandorfintor]

Shame on all these corrupt Democrat propagandists.
