Former President Donald Trump continues to be attacked by many in the media. However, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson recently suggested that there is someone they fear almost as much.

Breitbart noted that Carlson spent an episode of his Twitter show last week looking at efforts to silence Democratic presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr.

As an example, Carlson pointed to the reaction that Kennedy got after he made an appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast and discussed his belief that the COVID-19 vaccine is unsafe.

"As Kennedy spoke on the Rogan show, a reporter for Vice.com called Anna Merlan was watching," Carlson said, adding, "Merlan was so enraged by what she saw that she dashed off an article attacking Joe Rogan’s employer for allowing the conversation to take place."

He then explained that the writer put out a story titled, "Spotify has stopped even sort of trying to stem Joe Rogan’s vaccine misinformation."

Poll shows Kennedy has lower unfavorability numbers than Joe Biden

Carlson observed how Merlan's article "never even described much of what Bobby Kennedy had actually said" but instead "dismissed the entire interview as 'a detailed survey of Kennedy’s most dangerously incorrect views, a far too extensive list to outline in full.'"

"In other words, we here at Vice don’t have time to describe all of Bobby Kennedy’s lies but trust us, they were lies," Carlson remarked.

He then suggested that the vitriol directed towards Kennedy are signs that he is perceived as a threat, with an Economist poll showing that the candidate "is more popular and far less hated than either major party front runner."

Whereas only 14% of respondents said they have "very unfavorable" feelings about Kennedy, that number jumped to 41% when they were asked about President Joe Biden.

"America’s medical establishment has beclowned itself"

"After almost 20 years of being silenced, Bobby Kennedy Jr. is being heard and why wouldn’t he be?" Carlson asked his viewers.

"Kennedy’s theories about vaccines may be right and may be partially right; they could be even utterly wrong. No one’s proved it either way," he observed.

"But what we can say with certainty is that America’s medical establishment has beclowned itself for all time," the host recalled.

He concluded by saying that "official positions on vaccines, psychiatric drugs, puberty blockers, reassignment surgeries, a long list of other politically fashionable priorities have no connection whatsoever to legitimate science — it’s all effectively witchcraft."
