RFK Jr. says NY Post piece is mistaken | 0% Opinion

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.) has said that the New York Post (NY Post) article that “contained” “charges of anti-antisemitism” against him is mistaken.

Hitting back, RFK Jr. said in a statement shared by his team in a press release that Jon Levine, the writer of the NY Post piece, exploited his off-the-record conversation.

Levine, however, wrote in his article Saturday that RFK Jr. was speaking during a press event at Tony’s Di Napoli on East 63d Street, New York.

“New York Post reporter Jon Levine exploited this off-the-record conversation to smear me as an anti-Semite,” said RFK Jr. in the statement.

The video clip of the conversation where RFK Jr. is talking can be watched at the top of the NY Post article at https://nypost.com/2023/07/15/rfk-jr-says-covid-was-ethnically-targeted-to-spare-jews/.

The Democratic presidential candidate added, “This cynical maneuver is consistent with the mainstream media playbook to discredit me as a crank — and by association, to discredit revelations of genuine corruption and collusion.”

After saying “there’s an argument that” the pandemic “is ethnically targeted,” RFK Jr. can be seen saying in the video that the virus “attacked certain races disproportionately”, further saying in a later sentence that Caucasians and black people were the target, adding in the next sentence that the most immune people “are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese.”

He quickly adds, “But we don’t know whether it was deliberately targeted or not,” continuing, “but there are papers out there that show the racial and ethnic differential and impact to that.”

RFK Jr.’s statement shared in the press release issued on Sunday reads after saying the NY Post article “is mistaken,” “I have never, ever suggested that the COVID-19 virus was engineered to ‘spare Jews,’ and I unequivocally reject this disgusting and outlandish conspiracy theory.”
