Free speech is under attack in America.
The New York Society for Ethical Culture canceled an event that was going to have Robert F. Kennedy Jr speaking at it.
The New York Society for Ethical Culture (NYSEC) canceled an event Monday that was to have featured Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. delivering a pro-Israel speech to a Jewish group Tuesday evening.
The group, the World Values Network, a project of Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, will still host the event at another venue. However, the cancelation by NYSEC marks the latest effort by a supposedly liberal organization to marginalize Kennedy.
Kennedy’s address to the group had been arranged prior to a recent controversy in which he had speculated on the development of bioweapons, and had cited a study showing the coronavirus’s different impacts on different population groups — remarks that Kennedy’s critics tried to construe as antisemitic.
The speech had been arranged in recognition of Kennedy’s support for the pro-Israel cause.
RFK Jr released a statement on it.
The New York Society for Ethical Culture @EthicalNYC just CANCELED my event with @RabbiShmuley scheduled for tomorrow night. They’re evidently under tremendous pressure since they violated a binding contract and canceled without explanation.
This shows the DNC’s fierce determination and awesome power to censor criticism of an embattled President. WE ARE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER VENUE for tomorrow in Manhattan. Stay tuned.
Let @EthicalNYC know if you oppose this form of political censorship. Help us protect free speech! #Kennedy24
It was moved to a different venue.
NEW LOCATION: Join @RabbiShmuley and me at a new location to replace the one we were “canceled” from. Now it will be at The Glasshouse, 660 12th Ave., NYC 10019. #kennedy24
