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.

Ok, I'll admit you're ethnically Jewish, but allow me to offer you the reminder that as Jews, it is customary for us to pray to the creator god of our forefathers to the exclusion of other objects of worship, even black people. youtube.com/watch?v=ccKdu5PT…

You miss have lost my respect. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. RFKJr would destroy you in a debate, like he does everyone else.
