White House Denounces Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Covid Claims

The White House denounced comments by Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that falsely claimed Jewish and Chinese people were “most immune” to Covid-19.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called the remarks an “attack on our fellow citizens” that fuel antisemitism and racial bias.

“The claims made on that tape is false. It is vile. And they put our fellow Americans in danger,” Jean-Pierre said at her Monday press briefing.

Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison also condemned Kennedy’s comments, saying “they do not represent the views of the Democratic Party.”
