Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told lawmakers he’s being hit by a “new type of censorship” through smears and lies intended to silence him.
Kennedy has drawn heat for comments widely criticized as antisemitic and his embrace of unsubstantiated rhetoric about vaccine safety, including race-based conspiracy theories.
“In my entire life, I have never uttered a phrase that was either racist or antisemitic,” Kennedy, 69, the son of the late Senator Robert Kennedy and nephew of the late President John Kennedy, said at a House hearing Thursday.
