ABC News cut off presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. when he started to talk about the covid-19 vaccines, raising concerns about censorship.

The incident happened during a lengthy sit down interview  that was released on April 27.

Only a few days prior Kennedy had told Brietbart news: “There is no time in history where the people who were censoring speech were the good guys”

The Epoch Times reports: After airing clips of the interview, reporter Linsey Davis spoke to viewers.

“We should note that during our conversation, Kennedy made false claims about the COVID-19 vaccines,” she said. “We’ve used our editorial judgment in not including extended portions of that exchange in our interview,” Davis said.

The claims in question were not listed, and ABC did not return a request for comment.

Davis indicated that at least one dealt with the effectiveness of the vaccines.

“Data shows that the COVID-19 vaccine has prevented millions of hospitalizations and deaths from the disease,” Davis said. She did not provide any citations for the claim.

“He also made misleading claims about the relationship between vaccination and autism. Research shows that vaccines and the ingredients used in the vaccines do not cause autism, including multiple studies involving more than a million children and major medical associations like the American Academy of Pediatrics and the advocacy group Autism Speaks,” she added.

Kennedy said that what happened violated the U.S. law that bars some media outlets from censoring candidates for public office.

“ABC showed its contempt for the law, democracy, and its audience by cutting most of the content of my interview with host Linsey Davis leaving only cherry-picked snippets and a defamatory disclaimer,” Kennedy said.

  1. They just lie and deny science to suit their agendas,. You can extrapolate that to all science. They only quote the science that they agree with and pretend anything that disproves their “wishes” is fallacious By their own actions they prove themselves to be incredible.

  2. Haven’t watched ABC anything in years, and their “News” in decades. This just reminds me why.

  3. I like the character this JFK jr is playing. I will vote for this actor over trump.
