Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s endorsement of former President Donald Trump is a marvel to behold. It’s astonishing that such a prominent member of America’s quintessential Democratic family embraced the most conservative Republican nominee since President Ronald Reagan.
If a majority of Kennedy’s roughly 6% of likely voters support Trump on Nov. 5, they could compose the 3.1% that he might need to edge Vice President Kamala Harris in a photo finish.
But Kennedy should add value beyond Election Day. If reelected, Trump should ask him to chair a new Presidential Commission to Make Free Speech Great Again.
Kennedy and his fellow commissioners should investigate federal assaults on the First Amendment, most notoriously Washington, D.C.’s election-interference campaign to censor news coverage of Hunter Biden’s “Laptop from Hell.”
“The FBI warned us about a potential Russian disinformation operation about the Biden family and [Ukrainian energy giant] Burisma,” Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg wrote House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, on Monday.
After the Oct. 14, 2020, New York Post exposé of Hunter Biden’s laptop and its evidence of the Bidens’ dodgy international deals, “we sent that story to fact-checkers for review and temporarily demoted it while waiting for a reply. It’s since been made clear that the reporting was not Russian disinformation, and in retrospect, we shouldn’t have demoted the story.”
After conferring with Biden-Harris campaign aide Antony Blinken (now secretary of state), former acting CIA chief Michael Morrell recruited 50 other former intelligence officers. They signed an open letter that dismissed the Post’s exclusive for containing “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”
Biden-Harris’ allies and other deep state denizens used the ex-spies’ communiqué to dragoon Facebook, Twitter (now X), and other social-media giants into censoring the Hunter Biden story. In fact, Twitter (pre-Elon Musk) padlocked the Post’s account for 15 days!
Meanwhile, during his final debate against Trump that Oct. 22, Joe Biden used the ex-spies’ bogus letter to denounce the Post’s true story as “a bunch of garbage.”
Mission accomplished! Millions of voters never learned about the Biden family’s corruption that haunted Hunter Biden’s laptop. Within days, Crooked Joe captured the Oval Office.
“In 2021,” Zuckerberg added, “senior officials from the Biden Administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree.”
The Biden-Harris Justice Department sicced the FBI on “domestic terrorists”—specifically, parents who complained to school boards about critical race theory and transgender practices. The administration proposed that a Disinformation Governance Board patrol the internet for undesirable “misinformation” and then deplatform and punish Biden and Harris’ detractors.
While public ridicule doomed the Disinformation Governance Board, Biden and Harris reportedly still coerce tech giants to silence the administration’s critics. The Biden-Harris FBI also spied on “violent extremists,” namely Latin Mass Catholics.
These unconstitutional policies also oppressed Kennedy. As the pandemic roared on, his concerns about COVID-19 vaccines got buried.
“What alarms me is the resort to censorship, media control, and weaponization of the federal agencies,” Kennedy said in Phoenix on Aug. 23, as he suspended his campaign. “When a U.S. president colludes with, or outright coerces, media companies to censor political speech, it’s an attack on our most sacred right of free expression.”
As a victim of Biden-Harris censorship, Kennedy is ideally suited to investigate their War on the First Amendment. The Kennedy Commission should identify every federal employee who perpetrated these unconstitutional outrages. Trump then should tell these totalitarians: “You’re fired!”
The attorneys among them should be disbarred and their law licenses shredded. Those who violated federal law should be prosecuted, convicted, and imprisoned.
And on Day One, Trump should revoke the security clearances of those 51 lying ex-spies. This would signal—big league—that censorship is dead, and free speech is alive and well.
What a beautiful, bipartisan victory that would be for America, courtesy of Democrat Kennedy and Republican Trump.

CNN’s Dana Bash will either toss softballs to Vice President Kamala Harris in her interview on Thursday—or she will ask tough questions.
Her decision will either galvanize, or diminish, the perception that CNN is leftist propaganda.
Here are three questions Bash should ask the would-be president:
1) “Why have you ignored the millions of migrant women and girls who have been raped on the way to the U.S. southern border—and done nothing to help the U.S. Border Patrol to ensure that their rapists are not allowed onto our soil?
“Early in the Biden administration, you were assigned the task of being the ‘border czar,’ purportedly to help stop the influx of foreign nationals from all over the world who attempt to unlawfully enter U.S. soil, after refusing to comply with our established immigration and refugee procedures, background checks, etc.”
Much has been reported about the estimated 9 million to 10 million illegal aliens who ignored our immigration laws, and walked/sneaked into America. That doesn’t include the estimated 20% more who are classified as “got-aways”—meaning, they evaded our Border Patrol officers, are now on U.S. soil, whose backgrounds and intents are totally unknown.
Against this background, in 2014, the far-left Huffington Post reported U.N. data showing that “80% of Central American Women, Girls Are Raped Crossing Into the U.S.” Here’s an excerpt:
As the number of Central American women and girls crossing into the U.S. continues to spike, so is the staggering amount of sexual violence waged against these migrants who are in search of a better life.
According to a stunning Fusion investigation, 80 percent of women and girls crossing into the U.S. by way of Mexico are raped during their journey. That’s up from a previous estimate of 60 percent, according to an Amnesty International report.
The rapists—often the smugglers whom the migrants must pay to help get them get across our border—don’t even bother hiding what they are doing to these females. To the contrary, like Hamas, they create “trophies” of what they did; in this case, in the form of “rape trees,” on which they display the underwear of the women and girls they sexually terrorized.
2) “What is your position on Customs and Border Protection’s recent refusal to release data on how many individuals on our terrorist watchlist have been caught at our border—attempting to enter America or were interdicted on U.S. soil—since you took office?”
Continuing on the border, immigration, and national security front, we’ve seen report after report of individuals who on the terrorist watchlist being arrested at our border, or who made it onto U.S. soil.
On May 16, Fox News reported, “Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has rejected a request by Fox News to reveal the nationalities of people on the FBI terror watchlist arrested at the border by Border Patrol, citing ‘privacy interests’ of those involved.”
3) “What is your position on President Joe Biden’s statement that he wants to begin importing Gaza Palestinians onto U.S. soil—even though he knows that most support Hamas and hate America?
“As you probably know, on May 1 and 2, the AP and Fox News reported that Biden is considering importing Palestinian ‘refugees’ onto U.S. soil.
“I assume he and you are aware of the data that shows there are no people on earth who hate America more than Palestinians, and that the overwhelming majority of them support Hamas, its quest to destroy Israel, and its killing, rape, torture, and kidnapping of Jews on Oct. 7.”
As summarized in this infographic (excerpted from here), before Hamas’ Oct. 7 slaughter of Jews, the terrorist group enjoyed overwhelming support from the vast majority of Palestinians in both territories—support that has continued even after that terrorist attack:
