The Spin
Democratic narrative
Of all the disqualifying false and dangerous statements Kennedy has made, his claims about Biden's threat to democracy might be the most egregious. After all, Trump engaged in an insurrection. But with this and other statements and actions, Kennedy has proven he's nothing more than an instrument of the Trump campaign's efforts to take votes away from Biden.
Republican narrative
Kennedy didn't just turn the tables on Biden-friendly CNN, he exposed how Biden's swamp-ridden administration is the greatest threat to democracy. The administration has been persecuting Trump and it has strong-armed social media platforms into limiting the free speech of the president's opponents. This approach is not democratic.
