RFK Jr. Blasts Kamala, Biased Debate Moderators; Says 'the Party That I Grew Up in Doesn't Exist Anymore'

Former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who suspended his presidential campaign in August and endorsed GOP nominee Donald Trump, was appalled by the blatant bias shown by ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis during Tuesday night’s presidential debate. Although the hosts—mostly Muir—frequently interrupted Trump and fact-checked him in real-time, they treated Harris like the reincarnation of Cicero and sat comfortably as she spewed lie after lie.

In two separate appearances, Kennedy blasted the three-on-one pile-on. Appearing on Newsmax following the slugfest, Kennedy said:

Unfortunately, we had moderators who were clearly biased, who were constantly fact-checking Donald Trump. 

But none of these kinds of whoppers that the vice president was saying, and none of her failure to really explain that answer—that first question, that very, very critical first question. They simply sat there on the sidelines and allowed that to pass.

Watch:

The first question posed by the moderators that Kennedy spoke about was, “When it comes to the economy, do you believe Americans are better off than they were four years ago?” Kamala went off on a tangent about her being middle class or something, with a lot of other gobbledygook thrown in, but Kennedy is absolutely right that she never answered the question—and Muir and Davis let her off the hook.

RFK Jr. also appeared on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show and went even further, saying the Democrat party has become the party of censorship:

The evident bias of the moderators, who were fact-checking constantly kind of trivialities by President Trump but didn't— as far as I saw—they didn't fact-check Vice President Harris a single time.

But you're right, Sean, that the party that I grew up in doesn't exist anymore. The party of Robert Kennedy and John Kennedy was a party of peace. 

It was a party of resisting the corporate subversion of American democracy, it was the party of Civil Rights and constitutional rights, particularly censorship. Very opposed to censorship and surveillance. It was the party of protecting the most vulnerable people in our society, including particularly children.

Then he brought down the hammer:

Today, the Democratic Party is the party of war. It's the party of censorship. It's the party of surveillance.

To me, it's been a bit of a surprise to see the sometimes-controversial Kennedy working with Trump so well so far; they're both big personalities and their policies don't always align. But RFK Jr. has put his support solidly behind the former president since he announced his endorsement. 

On Kamala Harris and disgraceful debate moderators, he's 100 percent on target.
