Washington Examiner Chief Political Correspondent Byron York said Republicans might have “outsmarted” themselves by calling on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ahead of Thursday’s congressional hearing on government censorship.
“Democrats are going to make Robert F. Kennedy Jr. the focus of this hearing, and I think it’s entirely possible Republicans have really outsmarted themselves on this one,” York told Fox News.

The GOP-led House Subcommittee on Weaponization of the Federal Government takes on a “very serious issue,” according to York.
“It’s about the government censoring information, violating the First Amendment, censoring information that’s available on the internet,” he said. “There’s a very serious court case, Missouri v. Biden, that is going through the courts on this.”
“There was a big ruling on July 4. This is a serious issue, but what we will have is Democrats attacking the witness, who has a long history of, pretty much, crackpot statements about vaccines and other things.”
York contrasted a “conspiracy theorist” Kennedy with the two IRS whistleblowers who testified about Hunter Biden yesterday.

“They were career professionals at the IRS,” he said. “They had very serious cases. Everything they said they backed up with a lot of evidence, and Democrats were reduced to suggesting that maybe it was all just a misunderstanding or something.”
“They really couldn’t go after these witnesses,” York added. “Today will be very, very, different.”
