RFK Jr. Sparks Controversy with COVID Ethnic Targeting Theory
TL;DR
Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has promoted a dangerous conspiracy theory suggesting that COVID-19 was deliberately designed to spare Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people while disproportionately affecting White and Black individuals. His remarks, made during a dinner party, amplify racist and antisemitic tropes, drawing criticism from organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League. Kennedy later claimed that he did not suggest the virus was targeted to spare Jews, but video evidence contradicts this. He has a history of spreading conspiracy theories and comparing pandemic measures to the Holocaust.
