Senator John Kennedy (R-La.) wrote a critical op-ed for Fox News, accusing the Biden-Harris administration of misleading the American public and stifling free speech, especially regarding the controversy surrounding Hunter Biden’s laptop.
As the four-year anniversary of the laptop’s emergence approaches, Kennedy argues that the administration’s attempts to dismiss the laptop as fake was a major falsehood.

Kennedy highlights what he sees as repeated deceptions by the administration, such as downplaying issues like gas stove bans, border security, and President Biden’s mental fitness. He contends that these so-called “conspiracy theories” were proven true over time.
“President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have a casual relationship with the truth. They told us that they aren’t trying to ban gas stoves, that our president’s abilities aren’t in decline, and that the border isn’t open. They called these conspiracy theories. It appears we are going to have to get some new conspiracy theories because all the old ones turned out to be true,” said Kennedy.
In the op-ed, Kennedy emphasizes the importance of free speech in a democracy and accuses the Biden-Harris administration of undermining this principle by censoring relevant information to sway public opinion.

He argues that democracy is built on open dialogue and that the administration’s attempts to restrict access to information are both anti-democratic and immoral.
“Democracy only works when we can say what we believe. You are not free if you cannot say what you think. And no one can cast an informed vote when those in power censor relevant information. The American people know that the best way to correct misinformation is with more and better information, not censorship,” said Kennedy.
Kennedy’s criticism is particularly focused on the handling of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, which he claims reflects a broader effort by the administration to control narratives and prevent Americans from making informed decisions.
