House Republicans now own Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s antisemitism

Last week, pretend presidential candidate and all-around Nazi conspiracy theorist Robert Kennedy Jr. thrilled his Nazi friends by claiming COVID-19 was designed to spare Jewish people. This was just the latest in a long string of antisemitic beliefs that have characterized the lesser Kennedy.

Funnily enough, Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has extended an invitation for Kennedy to whine about liberal “cancel culture” at a House subcommittee hearing on Thursday. You see, Kennedy has been canceled so much, Republicans can’t help but shine a light on his plight! Weirdly, they didn’t invite Anheuser-Busch officials to cry about being canceled by right-wing mobs over the inclusion of a trans person in an Instagram story. What a weird oversight, huh?

Of course, what McCarthy calls “cancel culture” is people like you and me pointing out that Kennedy is a Nazi antisemite who traffics in dangerous conspiracy theories that are literally causing untold suffering and deaths. Now, McCarthy has weakly condemned Kennedy’s antisemitism … yet won’t rescind his invitation.
