White House condemns RFK Jr's 'vile' antisemitic Covid conspiracy claim

The White House has condemned Robert F. Kennedy Jr's claim that the Covid-19 virus was genetically engineered to spare Jewish and Asian people.

Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that the rival Democrat in the 2024 presidential election primary's comments were an "attack on fellow citizens".

Robert F. Kennedy has been known for lockdown-sceptical views in the past and is running against Joe Biden for the 2024 Democratic nomination for president.

Propoganda isn't working on most of us.

What twisted BS. That’s not what RFK Jr said at all. This spiel is designed for people who listen only to sound bites. And there are a lot of them. God help us.

'if you don't vote for me you ain't black'.

Anyone more popular than Brandon is immediately smeared.

[DeffoZappo]

The claims are false....then site your sources proving that

The English language died over there 😂😂😂😂

Just continue lying to the public. Most of us see through it. Know RFK is right. And you will pay.

It worked for the Austrian painter so why not RFK.

I still can't fathom what RFK Jr gets out of spreading the conspiracy theories. Does he have a podcast that generates income? Is there a megadonor or donors that fund his activities?
And finally, does he take any responsibility for his actions in influencing people whose children died when they decided not to vaccinate against measles after reading his posts?

Anti semetic?lol Should have gone broader and just called him racist.
