WASHINGTON: Independent White House hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr accused Joe Biden and Donald Trump of trampling on the US Constitution as he launched a trenchant defence of Americans’ civil liberties.
In a guest speech in front of a small crowd at the Libertarian Party’s national convention in Washington, the anti-vaccine activist berated the president and his Republican predecessor over pandemic-era health curbs and threats to free speech.
The environmental lawyer has no chance of winning in November, but Democrats and Republicans worry that so-called wildcard candidates could sway close contests in key swing states.Kennedy attacked Trump over Covid lockdowns and enforced social distancing and faulted Biden for vaccine mandates and “colluding with the FBI” to coerce Big Tech companies to censor the speech of Americans.
Kennedy challenged Trump to a debate at the convention, in an open letter published on X that pointed to data from polling firm Zogby showing him beating Trump and Biden in hypothetical two-way match-ups.
