Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will testify in the US House of Representatives on Thursday (July 20) at 9 a.m. Eastern Time at the Rayburn House Office Building, 2141 Office Building in Washington , DC.) regarding the alleged role of the federal state in the censorship of content on social media, of which Kennedy has long proclaimed himself a victim. It is learned from the website of the House subcommittee on the political use of the federal government, where Kennedy's name appears on a list of three witnesses who will be called to make their statements, together with a journalist from the conservative news site " Breitbart News" and Louisiana Assistant Attorney General John Sauer.

The hearing will examine the case of the so-called "Twitter Gate", the federal government's role in censoring Americans, the case of Missouri v. Biden and Big Tech's collusion with out-of-control government agencies to stifle the press. Kennedy, who last April announced his candidacy in the Democratic Party primaries in view of the 2024 presidential elections, was readmitted by various social networks precisely by virtue of his status as a candidate for the White House. “Recent revelations in Twitter documents and in the Missouri v. Biden case show how deeply institutionalized government censorship is,” Kennedy said. "It's disguised with euphemisms like 'working with our technology partners,' but make no mistake, this is a systematic program to control what Americans may say and think. As such, it is anti-democracy. In one democracy, it is the people who tell the government what to think, not the other way around".
