Kennedy Jr. claimed at an Upper East Side press event this week that COVID-19 may be a genetically engineered bioweapon that was “ethnically targeted” to spare Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people, reports the New York Post.

The same press dinner had already gone viral for a flatulence-punctuated argument between two attendees about climate change. (“It seems fitting that it landed during an event intended to raise Kennedy’s stature with the media.” my colleague Inae Oh wryly noted.)

Robert Kennedy Jr is a lying dangerous misguided person with a famous last name.

When, as a society, will we collectively learn to reject the allure of celebrity?

@PDFlynn Does RFK actually believe the statistics coming from Chinese government? Earlier this year the official number of deaths from Covid pandemic was well under 100K. Outside experts say that the actual number is at least 1.5 million, and quite likely even higher.

@PDFlynn Wishing Robert F. Kennedy a speedy recovery from the mental disorders he's obviously suffering from & that the Kennedy family will wholeheartedly support him with his undergoing psychiatric therapy to cure him from the delusions he's obviously caught in.
