President Biden’s chief Democratic rival in the 2024 race on Thursday rejected claims he is antisemitic and bemoaned tech censorship and the “toxic polarization that is destroying our country today.”
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who caused a recent uproar with comments about COVID-19, said he did not say anything negative about Jewish people in remarks at a recent dinner that suggested the coronavirus might have been targeted at White and Black people while sparing Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people.
“In my entire life I have never uttered a phrase that was either racist or antisemitic,” he said, adding he has a long record of defending Israel. “I didn’t talk about vaccines in that speech. I didn’t talk about anything that [people viewed as] as a verboten subject,” Mr. Kennedy said. “I was shut down.”
Mr. Jordan said it was an instance of the administration working with Twitter to try and suppress tweets that included simple facts.
