“Kerry Kennedy, a sister of Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., lambasted her brother in a brief statement Monday after a report that quoted him as saying Covid-19 was ‘targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people’ and that Jewish people are most immune,” NBC News reports.
Said Ms.
Kennedy in a statement: “I strongly condemn my brother’s deplorable and untruthful remarks last week about Covid being engineered for ethnic targeting. 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.”According to Politico, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called the longshot Democratic candidate’s remarks “false” and “vile.”
