Robert F. Kennedy Jr. defends Trump, compares January 6 prosecutions to FBI surveillance of his father

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a prominent environmental lawyer and the son of former U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy, is speaking out in defense of former President Donald Trump and comparing the recent prosecutions related to the January 6 Capitol riot to FBI surveillance of his father.

Kennedy Jr. made the comments during an appearance on “The Jimmy Dore Show,” where he criticized the investigations and prosecutions of individuals involved in the Capitol riot, calling them a “travesty.”

Kennedy Jr. argued that the prosecutions are an attempt to criminalize political dissent and suppress free speech, similar to the FBI’s surveillance of his father in the 1960s. He suggested that the FBI’s actions against his father, who was a prominent civil rights leader, were part of a larger effort to intimidate and silence dissent.

Kennedy Jr.’s comments have sparked controversy and backlash from some who view his comparison as inappropriate and inflammatory. Critics argue that the January 6 riot was a violent attack on democracy and that those responsible should be held accountable.

Despite the criticism, Kennedy Jr. remains steadfast in his beliefs and continues to defend Trump and criticize the prosecutions stemming from the Capitol riot. He has vowed to continue speaking out against what he sees as government overreach and the suppression of free speech.
