If there has been one constant in the political life of the Kennedy clan, it has been that problems do not leave the family, ever.
It appears that Robert Kennedy Jr.’s latest antisemitic and sinophobic rants have crossed some sort of line, with his sister and his nephew publicly condemning his remarks.
Family members of Democratic presidential hopeful Robert Kennedy Jr joined the White House on Monday in condemning his “deplorable” claim that Covid-19 was engineered to target some ethnic groups and spare others.
The former attorney and nephew of John F Kennedy made the extraordinary assertion during a recent dinner in New York city, saying the virus was “targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people”.
His remarks, also alleging development by China of viruses as a bioweapon, were captured on video, and published by the New York Post on Saturday, drawing accusations of racism and antisemitism.

Kennedy’s relatives took to social media on Monday to join in the condemnation.
“I STRONGLY condemn my brother’s deplorable and untruthful remarks last week about Covid being engineered for ethnic targeting,” his sister Kerry Kennedy, chair of the Robert F Kennedy human rights advocacy group named for their father, wrote.
“His statements do not represent what I believe or what Robert F Kennedy Human Rights stands for, with our 50+ year track record of protecting rights and standing against racism and all forms of discrimination.”
Her rebuke was echoed by Democratic former Massachusetts congressman Joe Kennedy III, nephew of the businessman who is challenging Joe Biden for next year’s Democratic presidential nomination.
“My uncle’s comments were hurtful and wrong. I unequivocally condemn what he said,” the younger Kennedy, US special envoy to Northern Ireland, wrote in a tweet.
The Kennedys are a little bit late to the party. RFJ, Jr. has been directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands across the world with his antivaxx bullsh%$.
He's been nucking futs for decades, and some sort of intervention would have been well justified.
No worries though, I'm sure that Steve Bannon is still supporting his Presidential campaign.
