A Democratic watchdog group has called for a House committee to rescind an invitation to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. after he was filmed falsely suggesting COVID-19 could have been “ethnically targeted” to spare Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people.
, Kennedy said “there is an argument” that COVID-19 “is ethnically targeted” and that it “attacks certain races disproportionately.”
“Beyond the absurdity, biological know-how simply isn’t there to make a virus that targets only certain ethnicities,” MinaDemocrats and anti-hate groups quickly condemned the comments from Kennedy, who comes from one of the country’s most famous political families as the son of former Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and the nephew of former President John F. Kennedy.
The Anti-Defamation League also responded to the comments with a statement saying Kennedy’s claim is “deeply offensive and feeds into sinophobic and antisemitic conspiracy theories about COVID-19 that we have seen evolve over the last three years.” It asked the chairman to disinvite the candidate from Thursday’s hearing because of “video evidence of his horrific antisemitic and xenophobic views which are simply beyond the pale.”
