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.

That is not what he said. Before you parrot media, listen to what he actually said.

Way to cover for Biden, Marianne. @RobertKennedyJr was stating scientific facts about how different DNA interacts differently with viruses. He never said that Covid-19 was "designed to target" anyone.

You support "aiding Ukraine"/going to war with Russia, and now you're repeating Bill Kristol's lines? Is it possible you are, in fact, a neocon yourself?
