Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expressing dissatisfaction with the media’s coverage of his 2024 presidential campaign. In an interview on FOX News’s Sunday Morning Futures, RFK Jr. compared the scrutiny he has faced to that of former President Donald Trump.
According to him, the level of criticism and negative portrayal in the media is unprecedented, leaving him feeling unfairly targeted. He acknowledged that if he were to believe everything written about him and reported in mainstream news outlets, he wouldn’t even vote for himself, as the picture painted of him would make him seem like a despicable person.
RFK Jr., who is the son of the late Robert F. Kennedy, has come under fire for recent public remarks concerning COVID-19 vaccines. Specifically, he suggested that the virus may have been engineered to target Caucasians and black people, adding to the controversy by implying that Jewish and Chinese individuals were spared.
His sister, Kerry Kennedy, criticized these remarks, deeming them “deplorable.” However, RFK Jr. has denied allegations of racism and antisemitism, asserting that he never suggested the virus was intentionally targeted at sparing Jews.
Amid the ongoing media scrutiny, RFK Jr. is striving to defend his positions and push forward with his presidential campaign.
