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.

Marianne, you are falling for establishment smears again. You haven’t done your homework. He never said that. He said Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese have more immunity. Big difference!

Just scrolling to see of anyone does recognize that POLICY and misinformation did 'target' and kill millions of #disabled, elderly, institutionalized people. Still does.

You are on the wrong side here. RFK Jnr is not for smearing....you need to actually listen to what he said not jump on the bs said about him. I am surprised and disappointed by you.

This is a wrong take. The purveyors of this disgusting misrepresentation are the mainstream media, which I would have thought were your natural enemy. I did not expect to see you join them, or worse, fall for their propaganda. Funny how the other races on the study were ignored

Your stance is deliberately misleading and divisive under the guise that you’re trying to unite people. I liked you and would have voted for you in a primary against Biden. But your thinly veiled pettiness shows you’re untrustworthy and insults the intelligence of your audience.

You are so attached to racism. Let it go and stop creating it in places where it does not exist. It is time. You have become the divisive one (and have been for a long time now).

Likely not accurate. I have never heard of him saying anything against Jews. A Coronavirus in a Wuhan lab was brought up during my conversations with other govs in 2006 concerning bin Laden & I don't know that it's far-fetched to suggest this bio-weapon targeted Caucasians etc

Why in hell would he debate you before you apologize and delete these tweets? Go debate Oprah Winfrey.

JFK Jr strikes me as someone who is a bit naive and gullible, well meaning, thinks on his feet and often reaches the wrong conclusions, mostly because he lacks deep understanding and sound logic.

"Covert racism writ large." You're such a piece of shit, Marianne.
