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."

Teacher Stunned After Student Argues That People Shouldn't Have To 'Think Anymore' Thanks To ChatGPT

There's no doubt that ChatGPT and similar tools are growing in relevance and application, and they're growing fast. The problem is that many people, especially younger individuals, seem to struggle with how much they should depend on the tools.

We already knew that ChatGPT could be a problem regarding critical thinking and creativity, so maybe we should have anticipated the mindsets that would develop, snubbing independent thinking when tools like ChatGPT are available.

Disney princesses are usually known for their whimsical singing and befriending creatures from all across the animal kingdom, but Princess Rapunzel at Tokyo DisneySea may have misunderstood the assignment.

Earlier this week, Rapunzel was caught on video at DisneySea in Tokyo, but she didn't go viral for her cheery demeanor or her singing voice, which passers-by can hear from the base of her elegant tower. Rather, it was a pair of intruders who put her in the spotlight.

And a TikToker has followed that lead by developing a chart that predicts a man's political persuasion based on his hair alone—and bald men are NOT happy about it.

According to research by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, transgender people in the United States were over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime based on statistics from 2017-2018. A study by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety found the number of trans people murdered in the U.S. nearly doubled between 2017and 2021.

In the last 5–9 years, those figures have only increased as the Republican Party has made trans people the target of many of their political campaigns and legislative actions.

Pete Hegseth Slammed After Calling Off Investigation Into Army Helicopter Fly-By At Kid Rock's House

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized for calling off the U.S. Army's investigation after MAGA musician Kid Rock posted a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home.

In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.
