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.

Not really anti-anything. But it’s not true, either.

Then debate him. I disagree with his hypothesis, but I also question why any discussion on one of the most impactful events of the last century can't be discussed outside of echo chambers.

This is what happens when you trust the #nypost and not offer any kind of critique before posting

If it's the truth, then I welcome it. And so should you. Not to mention that, in general, neither Semites or Chinese people are our friends.

Read beyond the headlines! @marwilliamson I expect better from you. Better yet, watch the entire statement.

Well, maybe waving some crystals around might jump start their "healing magick" and that will fix it for you. 🤔

Because creating biological warfare that specifically targets ethnic groups is NOT a wet dream of every nation's defence department on the planet??? In ethno-religious master races SOMEONE will dream of getting rid of untermenschen And Covid-19 WAS Sino-American collaboration
