Staff Reports
Members of the Kennedy family were quick to condemn Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a Democratic presidential contender, for his recent remarks about the coronavirus. Although Kennedy did not claim that the virus was an “ethnically targeted” bioweapon designed to spare Jews, liberals, Jewish organizations, and the media still jumped on the opportunity to criticize him. It’s no surprise that other members of the Kennedy family followed suit.

Kerry Kennedy, known for her human rights organization’s celebration of Alec Baldwin after he accidentally shot and killed a cinematographer, expressed her disappointment in her brother’s comments about Covid being engineered for ethnic targeting. It’s ironic that she would lecture about truthfulness considering her own association with controversial figures.
I STRONGLY condemn my brother's deplorable and untruthful remarks last week about Covid being engineered for ethnic targeting. https://t.co/9YCag7JtHm

My uncle’s comments were hurtful and wrong. I unequivocally condemn what he said.

Not to be outdone, former Rep. Joe Kennedy III, who serves in the Biden administration as U.S. Special Envoy for Northern Ireland, chimed in on Twitter without providing any further explanation. It seems like he was just looking for an opportunity to distance himself from his great-uncle’s comments.
Of course, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. denied making any antisemitic remarks and reiterated his support for Jews and Israel. It’s unfortunate that his words were twisted and used against him. But that’s become a typical tactic from the left–to misrepresent conservative views and attack anyone who dares to question the prevailing narrative.
It’s clear that the liberal media and Democrats will seize any opportunity to undermine conservative voices, even if it means distorting the truth. The Kennedys have a long history of championing liberal causes, so it’s no surprise that they would join the chorus of condemnation. But it’s important for conservatives to stand up for the truth and not be swayed by the false narratives being pushed by the left.
In the end, this controversy only highlights the need for fair and balanced reporting in our media landscape. Conservatives like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. face an uphill battle when they dare to challenge the mainstream narrative. But they must continue to speak out and defend their beliefs, even in the face of unjust attacks.
