RFK Jr made some convoluted comment about a study that said Askenazi Jews not getting COVID as much as others and that this would indicate COVID might have been created to target based on genetics.
Regardless if this is valid or not to suggest, the Israel lobby jumped on him right away. He's always been careful so far in saying as little as possible about Israel-Palestine but hinting he's mildly pro-Israel.
My guess is that he probably worked out some sort of deal with the Israel lobby to not interfere in his campaign, and he's trying hard to re-establish that deal, at the expense of his integrity image.
I can't say that the guy had won my sympathy before. But as Max Blumenthal commented about this "this is further proof that you can't currently be part of the Democratic party and have consistent values".
