RFK Jr. testifies TODAY on federal censorship, even as Democrats have called for Republican Jim Jordan to withdraw the invitation after the presidential nominee made bizarre testimony that COVID was “ethically targeted.”
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made bizarre claims about COVID-19, telling an audience that the virus was not meant to “affect Jewish or Chinese people.”
- “I don’t think censoring anyone is actually the answer here,” spokesman McCarthy said
- The Democratic presidential nominee will continue to testify about state censorship in the House of Representatives on Thursday
Democratic presidential nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will testify before the House Weapons Committee about government censorship, even though Democrats wanted to remove him from the panel.
Last week, RFK Jr. claimed that COVID was “ethnically targeted” and “not intended to hit Jews or Chinese.”
“We don’t know if it was deliberately targeted or not, but there are papers showing the racial or ethnic differences and impact,” the Democratic nominee said, according to the New York Post.
His comments sparked outrage from Democrats, who called on House Republicans to remove him from the hearing as a witness. However, Chairman of the Special Subcommittee on Arming the Federal Government, R-Ohio Jim Jordan, said RFK Jr. would continue to testify.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pictured at Thursday’s event, where he made bizarre claims about Covid-19 and told an audience that the virus was designed “not to affect Jewish or Chinese people.”
“Yeah, I totally disagree with what he said, but he’s a Democrat,” Jordan told Politico Monday.
“I also disagree with other things he said.” “But we have him because of the censorship,” Jordan continued, confirming that the presidential nominee would testify Thursday.
Also attending the hearing will be Assistant Attorney General for the Louisiana Department of Justice D. John Sauer and Breitbart News journalist Emma-Jo Morris.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy also told reporters this week that he “disagreed” with RFK Jr.’s statements, but “the hearing we have this week is about censorship.”
“I don’t think censoring someone is actually the solution here.”
Democrats are still outraged that Kennedy’s participation in the hearing is moving forward.
Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., told Politico that Kennedy’s testimony shows Republicans are comfortable with “witness nutcases.”
“They shine a glowing spotlight on someone like that and expose Republicans for their hypocrisy,” added Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla.
“He’s promoting unsubstantiated, unfactual, and unscientific conspiracy theories,” she continued.
A spokesman for the Anti Defamation League was outraged by RFK Jr.
“The claim that COVID-19 is a bioweapon developed by Chinese or Jews to attack Caucasians and Blacks is deeply offensive and feeds on the Chinese-phobic and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about COVID-19 that have been evolving over the past three years have.”, an ADL spokesman told .
“We know the Chinese are spending hundreds of millions of dollars developing ethnic bioweapons, and we are developing ethnic bioweapons.” They’re collecting Russian DNA. “They collect Chinese DNA so we can target people based on race,” he continued.
Kennedy responded to allegations that he was an anti-Semite by accusing the New York Post of being “wrong.”
Last week, RFK Jr. claimed that COVID was “ethnically targeted.”
“I never claimed that the COVID-19 virus was aimed at sparing Jews,” he tweeted.
There is no serious evidence that RFK Jr.’s statements were accurate. Although there are new reports suggesting that COVID-19 escaped from a laboratory in Wuhan, there is no evidence that it was ethnically targeted.
Kennedy promised Dr. Prosecuting Anthony Fauci for his actions during the COVID-19 pandemic should he win the White House in 2024.
“Of course, if there were crimes he committed, I would tell the attorney general to prosecute him and not hold him back,” Kennedy promised during an interview on Fox News.
