RFK Jr., Children’s Health Defense granted go-ahead to SUE Biden regime for CENSORSHIP
A Louisiana district court has ruled that plaintiffs Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is running for president in 2024 as an Independent, and Children’s Health Defense (CHD) can go ahead and sue the Joe Biden regime for pressuring tech companies to censor social media users and posts.
The ruling came less than four weeks after a federal appeals court refused to rule on a preliminary injunction to prohibit the Biden regime from further coordinating with social media giants until the district court came to a decision about the plaintiffs’ standing.
To establish standing, plaintiffs must prove that they suffered direct and concrete injuries that can be remedied in court through a lawsuit.
Responding to the Louisiana district court’s green light for the plaintiffs in this case, called Kennedy v. Biden, Kim Mack Rosenberg, CHD’s general counsel, announced that he and his team “reached what we believe is the correct conclusion with respect to standing for CHD and Mr. Kennedy.”
“Judge Terry Doughty carefully and clearly analyzed the law and facts and applied the framework from the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in Murthy v. Missouri regarding standing,” Rosenberg added in a statement to The Defender, the media arm of CHD.
“The court also firmly found in plaintiffs’ favor that plaintiffs had not waived – and indeed had affirmatively raised – direct censorship claims in addition to listener claims.”

Facebook admits to censorship; Judge Doughty says government conspired with social media giants
Facebook, one of the companies involved in the lawsuit, has already fessed up to conspiring with the Biden regime to suppress posts on its platform that were critical of face masks, vaccines, lockdowns and other elements of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “pandemic.”
Mary Holland, CHD’s CEO, revealed that Judge Terry Doughty, who is presiding over the case, confirmed that what Kennedy and the other plaintiffs are alleging in their case is traceable to actions taken by the defendants with regard to social media posts on not just Facebook but also Instagram and YouTube.
“Further, the judge found that a preliminary injunction, which mandates that the government stop censoring plaintiffs through social media, would redress their injuries,” Holland said.
In his ruling, Judge Doughty wrote that both Kennedy and CHD “were in positions contrary to Government positions on COVID-19, including mask mandates, vaccine mandates, vaccine injuries, lockdowns, etc.,” and that Kennedy was identified by the Center for Countering Digital Hate as being one of the so-called “Disinformation Dozen” who were spreading “anti-vaccine messages” on social media.
Judge Doughty looked through emails and meeting minutes between the White House and both Twitter and Facebook throughout 2021. He found that the tech companies in question agreed with the White House that they needed to “de-amplify” certain messages while censoring and putting warnings on others deemed as spreading “vaccine misinformation.”
“Facebook admitted that although the CHD’s posts did not violate its policies, it would suppress content that originated from CHD,” Judge Doughty further wrote.
“There is not much dispute that both Kennedy and CHD were specifically targeted by the White House, the Office of Surgeon General, and CISA [Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency], and the content of Kennedy and CHD were suppressed.”
