During a recent hearing, Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado questioned Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on his controversial statements, raising concerns about his suitability for the position of Health and Human Services secretary under President Donald Trump.
One of the contentious statements brought up was Kennedy's assertion that Covid-19 was a genetically engineered bio-weapon targeting specific racial groups. Kennedy clarified that he was quoting an NIH study and did not claim deliberate targeting.
