RFK Jr. denies being antisemite, expresses regret over COVID-19 comments
Fox News
Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. denied accusations that he is an antisemite amid backlash to his comments that COVID-19 spares Jews and Chinese people.
"I made a statement in a meeting that was presented to us as Chatham House rules, as a closed meeting," Kennedy told JNS. "I made an accurate statement about an NIH-funded study. I regret ever talking about that now because it’s clear that even accurate facts will be distorted and misconstrued in ways that hurt people." Chris Pandolfo is a writer for Fox News Digital.

"The last thing I want to do is be hurtful to people, particularly Jewish people, who have already suffered more than any other race," he added.
