Court Rules RFK Jr. Can Sue Biden Administration And Is ‘Likely To Succeed’


A federal court ruled Tuesday that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. can proceed with a lawsuit against the Biden administration for allegedly censoring social media posts from Kennedy’s Children’s Health Defense charity.

In a court document, U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty of Lousiana writes:

“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.”

Is it possible that we will finally see accountability in a world of social media censorship? I sure hope so.

The New York Post shares:

The ruling indicates there is evidence to support Kennedy’s claim that the government pressured big tech companies like Facebook, Instagram and YouTube to suppress content shared by his charity, the Children’s Health Defense (CHD).

The Kennedy v. Biden lawsuit claimed posts expressing CHD’s skepticism on the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccine mandates and lockdowns were specifically targeted as part of a broader effort by the government to combat what it labeled “misinformation,” Doughty wrote.

The CHD, which was founded by Kennedy, says its mission is “ending childhood health epidemics by eliminating toxic exposure” — earning a reputation by critics of being “anti-vaccine.”

Fox News adds:

“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,” CHD general counsel Kim Rosenberg said after the ruling, referring to a similar case brought against the government.

“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.”

Kennedy’s case will move to a lower court and the injunction will be reviewed.

It’s worth noting that Kennedy mentioned censorship in a part of his speech on Friday:

Censorship has been a major thorn in Kennedy’s side. You can hear him discuss this further in an interview Russel Brand:

It was Benjamin Franklin who wrote, “Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.”

Sadly, we’ve seen censorship meddle with politics again and again. Here’s just one of many examples where it’s happened to President Trump:

We hope to see more accountability and transparency in social media and news outlets. Maybe Kennedy’s legal battle will play a key role in bringing about positive changes.
