RFK Jr.'s sister Kerry Kennedy, who runs the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Center, called her brother's recent comments about the Covid virus 'deplorable.'

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is facing backlash from his own family after his recent public comments about COVID-19.

The Democratic presidential candidate made antisemitic and racist comments, claiming the virus was engineered to favor Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people while targeting Caucasians and Black people.


RFK Jr.'s sister—Kerry Kennedy—denounced his remarks in her capacity as president of the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, a non-profit human rights advocacy organization.

In an official statement, she wrote:

"I strongly condemn my brother's deplorable and untruthful remarks last week about Covid being engineered for ethnic targeting."
"His statements do not represent what I believe or what Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights stand for, with our 50+-year track record of protecting rights and standing against racism and all forms of discrimination."

Kennedy also shared her statement of social media.

Kennedy Jr. said at a New York City press event:

"COVID-19. There is an argument that it is 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."

Kennedy later claimed the New York Post misunderstood his words.

People weren't buying it however.











In 2021, Kerry Kennedy responded to her brother's anti-vaxxer rhetoric.

She told AP:

"I love Bobby, I think he's just completely wrong on this issue and very dangerous."
"Failure to take vaccines puts people's lives at risk."
"It not only impacts the person who refuses the jab but imperils the community at large."

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
