Members of the Kennedy family political dynasty are speaking out against pseudo-Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who was caught recently saying that Covid-19 was “targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people” and that Jewish people are most immune.
“I strongly condemn my brother’s deplorable and untruthful remarks last week about Covid being engineered for ethnic targeting,” Kerry Kennedy said in a statement released by the nonprofit group Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, where she is president. His statements do not represent what I believe or what Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights stand for, with our 50+-year track record of protecting rights and standing against racism and all forms of discrimination,”

Kennedy who was speaking at a dinner in Manhattan about bioweapons and “ethnically targeted microbes” claimed that “Covid-19 attacks certain races disproportionately.”
“Covid-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese,” he said, according to the video published by the Post. “We don’t know whether it was deliberately targeted that or not.”
Former Rep. Joe Kennedy III, D-Mass., also weighed in Monday, tweeting that he condemns his uncle’s remarks.
My uncle’s comments were hurtful and wrong. I unequivocally condemn what he said.
