I strongly denounce comments made earlier this week by RFK Jr. implying that Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese were relatively "spared" by COVID-19, while Caucasian and Black people were specifically targeted. Whether intentionally or not, his remarks amplify sinister and unfounded notions that are both anti-Semitic and anti-Chinese.🧵

Kennedy’s “I’m only asking questions” use of the most anti-Semitic tropes is unacceptable. As a Jewish American candidate in the 2024 presidential race, I stand against this covert racism writ large. Such language serves only to divide us further at a moment when we need desperately to unite.

RFK Jr. airs antisemitic COVID conspiracies at flatulent fundraiser.

The New York Post has fresh details from the now-infamous dinner. Oh, no.

He never said that. This is is misinformation. Watch the video again.

I can’t believe my mother supported you. How disappointing. This narrative is completely taken out of context and shows you’re apart of the either ignorant or willful malfeasance that’s infected the liberals.

Marianne Williamson’s only role in this race seems to be to make sure that no actual challenger to Joe Biden emerges. That and to sell a lot of books.
