NextImg:Democratic watchdog demands Jordan disinvite RFK Jr from testifying before weaponization committee


A Democratic watchdog sent a letter to House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), asking him to disinvite Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a 2024 Democratic presidential candidate, from a Thursday hearing on social media censorship.

The call came after a video emerged of Kennedy claiming that COVID-19 may have been targeted toward certain ethnicities, sparing others. "COVID-19. There is an argument that it is ethnically targeted. COVID-19 attacks certain races disproportionately,” he said in the recording. He claimed that one of the groups that was "most immune" to the virus was Jewish people.

In the letter, Congressional Integrity Project Executive Director Kyle Herrig wrote, "Not only is he a known conspiracy theorist whose anti-vaccine views have put lives in jeopardy, a Russian propagandist who has sided with Putin over Ukraine, and a total whack job whose views and conspiracy theories would be completely ignored but for his last name, but we now have video evidence of his horrific antisemitic and xenophobic views which are simply beyond the pale."

Herrig alleged, "This is all part of the same antisemitic pattern from you and your fellow House Republicans."

A spokesperson for Jordan did not respond to the Washington Examiner's request for comment.

Kennedy is set to testify at the committee's Thursday hearing examining "Big Tech's collusion with out-of-control government agencies to silence speech."

In response to the video's emergence, Kennedy tweeted, "I have never, ever suggested that the COVID-19 virus was targeted to spare Jews." According to him, he was pointing out that COVID-19 served as "proof of concept for ethnically targeted bioweapons" because of its disproportionate effect on certain races and ethnicities.
