Co-host Brian Kilmeade played a video of presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. expressing concerns about Biden’s orders for media and social media platforms to censor his political adversaries. Kennedy emphasized that allowing a president to silence opposition opens the door to unchecked power and poses a genuine threat to American democracy.
During the interview, Taibbi echoed Kennedy’s concerns, pointing out that Biden’s political opponents have already experienced censorship on platforms like Twitter. He highlighted the disadvantage faced by candidates who have been de-platformed or censored, noting that in the age of digital information, such actions could significantly impact their ability to reach voters.
Taibbi’s remarks on “Fox & Friends” underscore the growing unease among conservatives about the Biden administration’s approach to free speech and its potential impact on the upcoming election. As the political landscape continues to evolve, it’s clear that concerns about censorship and biased media coverage will remain at the forefront of conservative commentary and analysis.
