On Thursday, House Democrats tried unsuccessfully to impeach Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. from a hearing on impeachment of the federal government, after claiming it violated House rules designed to prevent defamatory or degrading testimony.
That and other efforts by Democrats to silence him at the hearing prompted Kennedy to say, “This is an attempt to censure a censure hearing.”
Kennedy, who is running for president against President Biden, was invited by Republicans to testify at a House Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on the Armament of the Federal Government. But after Kennedy’s opening remarks, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., moved to bring the hearing into executive session to discuss Kennedy’s alleged violation of a House rule aimed at prohibiting testimony that defames or degrades others.
Wasserman Schultz said the witness made “despicable” anti-Semitic and anti-Asian comments in recent days, referring to his comment that COVID may have been “ethnically targeted” because those most immune to COVID appear to be Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese . . Kennedy later said he was not accusing anyone of deliberately engineering COVID to save certain ethnic populations.
