Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Tuesday walked back saying he “can make the argument that President Biden is a much worse threat to democracy" than Donald Trump.

On NewsNation’s “Cuomo" on Tuesday night, Kennedy said his statement, which he made during a Monday interview with CNN’s Erin Burnett, was reported inaccurately.

“Do you want people to believe that you think that President Biden has done more objectionable things vis-à-vis our democracy than former President Trump did in the aftermath of the last election?” NewsNation host Chris Cuomo asked Kennedy.

“No. As you heard, Chris, I — what I said was that I can make this argument and I didn't say definitively whether I believed one or the other was more dangerous than democracy. I did say that I don't believe either of them are going to destroy democracy,” Kennedy said.

“Both sides are telling us the other guy is the end of the republic. But, you know, they're both lame-duck presidents,” Kennedy said. “You've got a lot of institutions that are bulwarks against a tyrant coming in and take over democracy. So, I don't think that's going to happen.”
