Cofounder of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. PAC says the left finds democracy 'inconvenient'
"The one who gets to be president ought to be able to win in the marketplace of ideas, not win in political gamesmanship," Lyons said.
Co-founder of a Robert F. Kennedy SuperPAC, Tony Lyons, says that the left doesn't believe in democracy anymore and finds it inconvenient.
"The left is kind of showing that it just doesn't believe in democracy," Lyons said on the Thursday edition of the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "They find it inconvenient, and they find it something that they need to find a way to get around."
Kennedy was originally running for president as a Democrat, but switched to running as an independent last year.
He recently condemned states trying to remove former President Donald Trump from the ballot, arguing it wasn't fair.
"[I]t's not a question of whether you like Kennedy or Trump or Biden. It's a question of whether you're willing to protect the values that are so important to this country," Lyons said. "Bobby Kennedy came out, and he said, 'it's important to protect Donald Trump's rights, because when you protect his rights, you're protecting all of our rights.'"
Lyons added that the U.S. needs to have a system where all presidential candidates can be heard and the best ideas win.
"The one who gets to be president ought to be able to win in the marketplace of ideas, not win in political gamesmanship," he said.
