"DNC Chair Condemns RFK Jr's Baseless COVID Conspiracy Theories"

The chair of the Democratic National Committee, Jaime Harrison, condemned Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s claims that COVID-19 was engineered to spare Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people, stating that they do not represent the views of the Democratic Party. Kennedy had suggested during a press event that the virus was ethnically targeted, but faced widespread criticism from Democratic leaders for his conspiracy theories. The comments were deemed anti-Semitic and anti-Chinese, and were reminiscent of hate speech that emerged at the start of the pandemic. Kennedy later walked back on his remarks, claiming they were off the record, but the event organizer confirmed they were on the record.
