Atlanta, Georgia - Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently argued that President Joe Biden is far worse for democracy than former President Donald Trump.

In an interview with CNN on Monday, anchor Erin Burnett asked the Independent candidate if he believed his two challengers posed an equal threat to democracy.

"I can make the argument that President Biden is the much worse threat to democracy, and the reason for that is President Biden is the first candidate in history – the first president in history that has used the federal agencies to censor political speech, so to censor his opponent," RFK responded.

Kennedy, who has made free speech a focus of his campaign, pointed to his ongoing legal battle with the Biden administration for their alleged effort to censor content deemed as disinformation on social media platforms.

The Independent candidate has been kicked off multiple platforms for repeatedly sharing conspiracy theories, specifically regarding the Covid-19 pandemic, and unfounded claims about vaccinations.

RFK went on in the interview to accuse Biden of "weaponizing the federal agencies" against him, a criticism that Trump regularly spouts as the reason he is facing 88 criminal charges while he runs for re-election.

He also admitted that Trump's attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election was "appalling," but Biden still poses a bigger threat "because the First Amendment... is the most important."

When RFK initially launched his campaign, he ran as a Democrat, but after failing to connect with the party's base, he shifted over to an Independent run.

There has since been heated debate about whether RFK will pull support from either Trump or Biden when the three of them face off in the general election in November.

In a statement shared with CNN, the Democratic National Committee slammed RFK for equating Trump and Biden.

"There is no comparison to summoning a mob to the Capitol and promising to be a dictator on day one," the statement read. "Robert F. Kennedy Jr. laid to rest tonight any doubts that he's a spoiler candidate by pushing his MAGA talking points in prime time."

Kennedy also argued that "we shouldn't make pariahs" out of people who say the 2020 election was stolen from Trump, and instead "get together... and fix the election system."
