RFK Jr.'s Controversial Claim: Was Covid-19 Ethnically Targeted to Spare Jews?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longshot Democratic presidential candidate and conspiracy theorist, disputed a report claiming he said Covid-19 was ethnically targeted to spare Jews. In a video, Kennedy discussed bioweapons and claimed that Covid-19 disproportionately affects certain races, mentioning that Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people are more immune. Kennedy later defended his remarks, stating they were not anti-Semitic and that he never suggested the virus was deliberately engineered to spare Jews. This is not the first time Kennedy has faced criticism for controversial statements, including implying that Anne Frank had more freedom than those under vaccine mandates.
