RFK Jr. continues to find unlikely allies.
According to a report from The New York Post, conservative news host Megyn Kelly came to the defense of Democrat presidential candidate RFK Jr. after his sister attacked him for comments about COVID.
“COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese,” he said at a recent donor dinner.
“We don’t know whether it was deliberately targeted or not but there are papers out there that show the racial or ethnic differential and impact,” the 69-year-old Kennedy said.
Kennedy’s sister, Kerry, publically distances herself from the comments while blasting her brother.
“I strongly condemn my brother’s deplorable and untruthful remarks last week about Covid being engineered for ethnic targeting,” she said.
“His statements do not represent what I believe or what Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights stand for, with our 50+-year track record of protecting rights and standing against racism and all forms of discrimination.”
That’s when Kelly came to RFK Jr.’s defense.
“Look at these terrible family members. No one was asking ‘how does RFKJ’s sister feel about his latest remarks?’ She just felt the need to kick @RobertKennedyJr when he was down. Nice,” Kelly tweeted.

RFK Jr. attempted to control the damage shortly after his comments came out.
“The @nypost story is mistaken. I have never, ever suggested that the COVID-19 virus was targeted to spare Jews,” he tweeted.
“I accurately pointed out — during an off-the-record conversation — that the U.S. and other governments are developing ethnically targeted bioweapons and that a 2021 study of the COVID-19 virus shows that COVID-19 appears to disproportionately affect certain races since the furin cleave docking site is most compatible with Blacks and Caucasians and least compatible with ethnic Chinese, Finns, and Ashkenazi Jews.”
