| RFK Jr. says he ‘should've been more careful' after Covid comments |

| [Politico] Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. acknowledged that he "should’ve been more careful about what I said" after he received backlash for suggesting that Covid-19 could have been genetically engineered to reduce risks to Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people. Hundreds of attendees — supporters, protesters and onlookers — came to hear Kennedy speak Tuesday evening in New York City on fighting antisemitism and supporting Israel with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, an author and commentator. The two-hour conversation was part of a presidential candidate series hosted by The World Values Network, which Boteach runs. Kennedy, who’s running a longshot campaign against President Joe Biden, said that there are interests who want "to damage my candidacy and want to silence me," adding that anything he says is "going to be weaponized against me." Earlier this month, the New York Post reported that Kennedy claimed without evidence that there is "an argument that [Covid-19] is ethnically targeted" at white and Black people, and that "the people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese." Jewish organizations criticized Kennedy for the comment, as did members of his family and the White House. Kennedy denied the comments and called the report a "mainstream media playbook to discredit me as a crank." In a congressional hearing last week — one that more than 100 House Democrats tried to get him uninvited from, saying that he has "repeatedly attacked two groups that have long been subject to deadly discrimination" — he denied being anti-vaccine, antisemitic or racist.
