Robert F. Kennedy Jr. condemned over false COVID-19 claims

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. repeated a conspiracy theory last week that COVID-19 was "ethnically targeted" against certain groups while sparing Jewish and Chinese people. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee called the remarks anti-Asian and antisemitic, and the Anti-Defamation League also denounced the comments. CBS News chief election and campaign correspondent Robert Costa has more.

I’m Jewish and my family has worked with RFK Jr . He’s a good guy, not anti-Semitic.

[troynewell]

Somebody is telling all their news outlets to really put a hit on this guy

[johnwood]

Oh my. They are desperate to smear this man as much as they possibly can. They only do this when they’re frightened.

[jonkline]

You know he’s doing well when they start criticizing him

[edgehabitat]

The more this crap is broadcast, the more those who love him, love him. Thanks!

[tanbananna]

Glad to see everyone in the comments seeing through the BS. We can’t let these companies run a narrative anymore! I’m loving RFK Jr. He’s poised, educated and experienced and a man of the peace. Fitting for a presidential position.

Before you start calling him a conspiracy theorist, this is the study RFK Jr is talking about "New insights into genetic susceptibility of COVID-19: an ACE2 and TMPRSS2 polymorphism analysis". Honestly, I hear nothing controversial here. He said there’s an argument based on data. And to think our government wouldn’t develop ethnic weapons should take a look at history.

[jsnip]

He was completely taken out of context while discussing a study. He never said COVID-19 was engineered to attack anyone, but the media are using this as a way to smear him. He’s not antisemitic, and he has a good man full of integrity. Everything he claims he has evidence to back up. They spin his words and intentionally misquote him to silence him.

[richardleirer]

Go RFK jr. We stand by you and the Truth you speak. The BS from the MMS is Unbelievable. No one believes them anymore.

[kadenmarshall]

The Democrat Party’s news channels have been patiently waiting for the right moment to start against RFK Jr. Today is that day.

[bamspay]

It's amazing how RFJ Jr. said something that is deemed as anti-Semitic but every MSM video I have watched so far does not show what specifically RFK Jr. said and in what context. Anyone with an ounce of integrity and common sense should want an honest media that just gives us the facts.

Until CBS can back up their claim of a false statement, untruth or conspiracy theory, I will support RFK jr.

I won't be holding my breath for CBS to respond.

[brandongribble]

Smear job alert.

Not what he said. He cited a scientific showing how covid disproportionately affected certain races, said we should be aware of biochemical weapons targeting specific groups of people because the US and China are spending money on such research for weapons.

Watch the actual clip if you're reading this.

[Sir_Loin_]

Lol here we go with the idiotic MSM thinking we dont know

[MD-oygv]

State media only covers him when they can come up with something negative? Why’d the dnc cancel primary debates?

[Dominique-jg]

It's crazy how they think anyone believes what they say

[trothron]

If you investigate everything RFJ Jr. says, it’s all backed up with studies and facts. Finally, a politician with morals and ethics.

[JustMe-ecph]

False claims about a actual peer-reviews study? I don't think so! He said there is an argument about that review and there is.
This is a peer-reviewed study by prominent scientists the most prominent scientists in America in one of the top ten high graphicized journalists in the country and it's worth referring to. Published in BMC medical which is ranked as one of the top ten most important Journals in America! One of the sites this study is at is at pub med.

[PeteyFreee]

This man is an absolute gangster. I hope he wins and topples over all these phonies trying to silence him.

[CyrilCommando]

***HE CLAIMED NOTHING***

He said there was "an argument", as in, not his, and cited statistics. THAT'S. IT.
