CNN’s Jake Tapper Nukes RFK Jr.’s ‘Hackery’ And ‘Wildly Inaccurate’ Claims Covid Was ‘Targeted’ to Spare ‘Jews And Chinese’

CNN’s Jake Tapper took aim at Robert F Kennedy Jr.’s track record on public health this week, calling some of his past statements “hackery” and “wildly inaccurate.”

“We’ve also heard former President Trump make this promise to the American people talking about Robert F Kennedy Jr.,” Tapper began on Wednesday evening before playing a clip from a recent Trump rally:

“I’m going to let him go wild on health. I’m going to let him go wild on the food. I’m going to let him go wild on medicines.”

“So that’s Donald Trump prescribing a role for Robert F Kennedy Jr. If he were to win, Donald Trump, a second term. RFK Jr. Seemingly affirmed the former president’s words earlier this week,” Tapper noted before playing a clip from Kennedy:

President Trump has promised me is as control of the public health agencies, which are HHS and its subagencies, CDC, FDA and NIH and a few others, and also the USDA, which is which, you know, is key to making America healthy.

“Just a reminder, RFK Jr has no medical license and has made wildly inaccurate claims about all sorts of medicines, including childhood vaccines. And frankly, this is what he said. It’s kind of a deranged remark about coronavirus,” Tapper added before playing another clip of Kenney from July 2023:

In fact, Covid-19, there’s an argument that it is ethnically targeting Covid-19, that certain races, disproportionately Covid-19, is targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese.

“I mean, there aren’t even words to describe what hackery that is wildly inaccurate. Plenty of Chinese people, plenty of Ashkenazi Jews died because of the coronavirus. Actual medical professionals are sounding the alarm about RFK Jr playing any sort of role in health care within this country,” Tapper concluded.

Kennedy has a long history of pushing wild claims, including that chemicals in the water turn children trans, Russia had weaponized WiFi radiation to cause cancer, and that the U.S. worked to develop “ethnic bioweapons.”
