Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s own relatives are distancing themselves from his latest conspiratorial remark after he suggested at an event last week that COVID-19 may have been “ethnically targeted.”
Joe Kennedy III, a former U.S. representative from Massachusetts who is now special envoy to Northern Ireland for economic affairs, rebuked the comments in a Twitter post on Monday. “My uncle’s comments were hurtful and wrong. I unequivocally condemn what he said,” Kennedy III wrote.
Kerry Kennedy, president of the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights, also blasted her brother’s remarks as “deplorable and untruthful.”
