Ousted Fox News host Tucker Carlson said Thursday that the media?s full-court
press to silence Democratic presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
reveals fear over his bid to make President Joe Biden a one-term executive.
Carlson?s sixth Twitter episode addressed the way the media has treated the
nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy over the years. He argued that,
in some instances, Kennedy ? who has a reputation for espousing conspiracy
theories, especially regarding vaccines ? has suddenly received heavier
scrutiny than even former President Donald Trump when it came to his
presidential campaign.

?There?s never been a candidate for president the media hated more than
Robert F. Kennedy Jr,? Carlson said. ?You thought that title belonged to
Donald Trump. Of course, it must, but go check the coverage. Trump got a
gentle scalp massage by comparison when he announced.?
Carlson went on to compare the media coverage directed at Trump ? when he
first announced his 2016 presidential campaign ? to that endured by Kennedy
since he announced his 2024 bid.
?When Trump rolled out his presidential campaign in 2015, the New York Times
waited until the 17th paragraph of the story to attack him. ?But as well
known as he is,? the paper said at the time, ?Trump is also widely disliked.?
And then they cited a poll to back it up. That was the attack on Trump,?
Carlson said.
By comparison, the NYT went straight for the jugular in its coverage of
Kennedy?s announcement. ?Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced a presidential
campaign on Wednesday built on re-litigating Covid-19 shutdowns and shaking
Americans? faith in science.?
??Shaking Americans? faith in science,`? Carlson repeated. ?Imagine if you
were an ordinary New York Times subscriber reading that over coffee in your
pre-war, rent-controlled duplex on Columbus Avenue. You?d think Bobby Kennedy
just declared war on the Enlightenment. ?My fellow Americans, I have come to
shake your faith in science. Join me as I drag our nation back to the
Medieval period.? You?d be appalled.?
In the weeks since his campaign was announced, Kennedy has risen to 20% in
the polls while still making shocking claims. Just last week, he told Newsmax
host Greta Van Susteren that both China and the United States were developing
ethnic bioweapons that could target people based on race. He has also claimed
that his uncle was assassinated by the CIA, and that he would have to be
careful if he wanted to avoid the same fate.
