Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Monday that he believes President Biden presents a greater threat to democracy than former President Trump.

Kennedy Jr. said during an appearance on CNN's "OutFront" that Biden is a "much worse" threat to democracy than Trump because the current president has been "weaponizing" federal agencies to censor his political opponents.

"I can make the argument that President Biden is much worse," Kennedy Jr. said. "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 or censor his opponent."

"The greatest threat to democracy is not somebody who questions election returns but a President of the United States who will use the power of his office to force the social media companies Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, to open a portal and give access to that portal to the FBI, CIA, the IRS, the NIH, to censor his political critics," he added.

Kennedy Jr. initially challenged Biden for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination before launching a White House bid as an independent in October to take on Biden and Trump in the 2024 election.
