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.

No, they don’t. They actually follow and align with the comments by the Chinese government of making bio-weapons that specifically target people based on their ethnicity.

After speaking with RFK Jr. this morning, I’m severely disappointed in this headline. Being a Jew combatting REAL antisemitism this was not it. He clarified with me this morning that he was discussing ethnic bio weapons, and merely stated that the Cleveland Clinic study showed that SARS-COV2 affects certain ethnicities more than others. #1 being people of African decent. It is least compatible with Fins, and Ashkenazi Jews. This is what he said that was spun by the media (per usual) And P.S- he’s a huge ally for Israel 🇮🇱 @RobertKennedyJr

That’s not what he said. See his clarification on Facebook. Please don’t be another one lying about what he says. It’s especially not a good look for you.
