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.

I don't think he was anti-Semitic. He was just repeating something he had read.

Sorry. Nothing. Anti Semitic about this. As a Jew in so tired of the over use of that term for political reasons.

The use of stigmatising labels is a very strong strategic tool to delegitimise political opponents. Nice try but we see through it
