Controversial presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr is beginning his campaign for the presidency with a move that no White House hopeful ever wants to have to make – by clarifying comments about the Holocaust.
The Kennedy family scion posted on Twitter a lengthy denouncement of media organisations including CNN and more recently The New York Times for what he said was a mischaracterisation of remarks he gave in front of the Lincoln Memorial in 2022. According to Mr Kennedy, the two news companies (and others) were incorrectly claiming that he had compared the Holocaust and specifically the treatment of Anne Frank to Covid vaccine mandates.
