Following accusations of antisemitic remarks about COVID-19 made by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., his family and a Democratic watchdog group have responded. The family has expressed their disapproval:
- “I strongly condemn my brother’s deplorable and untruthful remarks last week about COVID being engineered for ethnic targeting,” stated Kerry Kennedy, president of the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights nonprofit, as reported by the New York Times. “His statements do not reflect my beliefs or the values of Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, which has a history of over 50 years in protecting rights and standing against racism and discrimination.”
- “Bobby’s comments are morally and factually wrong,” said his brother, Joseph Kennedy II, in a statement to the Boston Globe. “They perpetuate antisemitic myths and fuel distrust towards the Chinese. His remarks do not align with the words and actions of our father, Robert F. Kennedy.”
- Former Rep. Joseph Kennedy III tweeted, “My uncle’s comments were hurtful and wrong. I unequivocally condemn what he said.”
According to NBC News, when RFK Jr. launched his 2024 presidential bid, his sister stated that although she loves him, she does not share or endorse “many” of his opinions, which include spreading anti-vaccine conspiracy theories. Despite challenging the incumbent in the Democratic primary, his polling numbers range from 10% to 20%, a noteworthy achievement highlighted by the Times.
