Robert Kennedy Jr. to host censorship roundtable

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is hosting a roundtable discussion about censorship as he says that supporting the First Amendment is "at the heart" of his 2024 presidential campaign. 

Kennedy's roundtable is open to the public online and is scheduled for Aug. 17. It comes after the presidential candidate testified to Congress last week in a hearing that he says "exposed the war on the First Amendment at the highest level of the U.S. government."

Kennedy, who has been repeatedly censored online for being skeptical about vaccines and criticizing the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, also said: "Reinvigorating the First Amendment is at the heart of this Presidential campaign."

The roundtable will feature free speech advocates including journalists Glenn Greenwald, who broke the story about whistleblower Edward Snowden; Michael Shellenberger, known for releasing the so-called "Twitter Files;" and Sharyl Attkisson, who criticized the mainstream media for not accurately reporting on the Obama administration.

The discussion will also include New Civil Liberties Alliance attorney Jenin Younes, who represented the plaintiffs in Missouri v. Biden tech censorship case, and former New Jersey Democratic Assemblyman Jamel Holley, who came under fire for supporting a religious exemption for vaccines.
