Kennedy family criticized for treatment of RFK Jr.: ‘Revealing totalitarian traits’

Kennedy Family Members Put on ⁣Blast for⁤ How‌ They Are ⁤Treating‍ RFK ‍Jr.:​ ‘The ⁣Mark of ⁤Totalitarian ​Systems’

Well, it was​ only a ​matter‌ of time.

Sure,‌ Robert​ F.⁤ Kennedy⁢ Jr.’s overperformance ⁤in‌ the ⁣primary ​polls⁣ against President⁣ Joe ‍Biden‌ has⁢ been‍ an⁣ embarrassment to​ the‍ Democratic⁤ Party⁢ at⁤ large. However, for⁢ the most ⁤part,‌ the Kennedy family has avoided‌ talking about ⁣the ⁣candidacy ​like⁣ Biden‍ avoids talking ⁣about the exact number of⁤ grandchildren he ⁣has.

But that ⁢would only last⁣ as⁣ long​ as the⁤ RFK⁢ Jr.‍ campaign⁣ stayed out​ of real ⁤controversy, ⁤which‍ was inevitable, given⁢ who the⁤ candidate‍ is;​ like⁣ him or ​not, Kennedy ⁢has ‌been ⁤erroneously⁢ on the ⁣side ‍of ⁤all ‍vaccine skepticism​ over the better part ​of his career, ⁢only ‍to ‍have ‍the good ‌fortune⁢ for ⁣the 2024 campaign ⁤to ⁤be ​the ⁤first presidential contest⁣ after​ the⁤ incumbent president‍ tried ⁣to‌ force ​Americans ‌to ​take ‍a ​vaccine ​they had‌ good ​reason​ to ‌be‍ skeptical of,​ for⁤ a change.

So,​ after the ​first⁢ major controversy ​of his campaign⁤ — ‌he ‍was ‍caught on video at ‌a ⁣media ⁤event ‍July ‌11 ⁤repeating ⁢a ‍theory that ⁣COVID-19​ might⁣ have‍ been a​ Chinese⁣ bioweapon⁣ since a study has alleged the‌ disease ⁢disproportionately affects those‌ of‍ Chinese and‍ Ashkenazi ‍Jewish ‌descent ‍— it ⁣was perhaps ⁣predictable ‍that‌ members ⁤of the ⁢Kennedy ⁤family​ would ​come ‌out to denounce ‍their own.

Less predictable would‌ be how​ they⁣ would be put⁢ on⁢ blast by ​social media in the ⁣wake of their denunciations, with one‍ conservative ⁤critic ‍calling‍ the⁢ shaming of one’s own family “the ⁤mark of ⁢totalitarian ​systems.”

First, RFK‌ Jr.’s ​comments, first reported by‌ the New York‍ Post:⁤ During ‍what the Post’s ​Jon Levine ⁢memorably⁢ described ‍as ​“the​ question-and-answer‍ portion⁣ of⁢ raucous ⁢booze​ and ‌fart-filled dinner”⁤ in New York ⁢City, Kennedy said there‍ was​ an ‌argument COVID-19 was “ethnically‌ targeted. COVID-19 attacks‍ certain ⁣races disproportionately.”

“COVID-19 ​is ⁤targeted ⁢to⁤ attack Caucasians and⁢ black‍ people.​ The ⁣people‍ who ⁤are most ‍immune are ‍Ashkenazi ⁤Jews and‍ Chinese,” ‌he ​said.

“We don’t⁤ know ​whether it was⁤ deliberately ⁤targeted⁢ or ⁣not, but ⁣there ​are​ papers ‍out there‍ that⁢ show the⁣ racial‌ or‍ ethnic differential and​ impact,” ⁢the Democratic candidate⁤ added.

RFK ⁣Jr. says⁤ that ‍COVID-19 was possibly a⁢ bioweapon ⁢designed‍ to target white​ and ⁣black ⁤people.

He also said⁢ that‍ the ‍Chinese and Ashkenzai⁤ Jews were‍ the​ most immune to the ⁤Coronavirus.

RFK ⁤Jr. denied‍ that the statement ​was ⁢anti-Semitic, ⁣saying Sunday on ‍Twitter that he never intended ‌to float‍ the idea that‍ “coronavirus‍ was⁢ a⁤ bioweapon ⁢made to ⁣kill⁣ white ‍and‍ black‍ but spare⁤ Jews,” ⁤as ‌Levine allegedly‌ asked ⁣his ​press‌ office.

“Of ​course, saying that ‌would ⁤be anti-Semitic,” ‌he⁤ said. “But I‍ didn’t‍ say that.​ Levine​ is ​fabricating ⁣an ⁢opinion, attributing ‍it to⁢ me, ‍and trolling ​for​ scandal.”
