SUBCOMMITTEE SILLINESS

RFK Jr. Snaps at Debbie Wasserman Schultz: ‘You Are Slandering Me!’

The presidential candidate didn’t like the way DWS depicted his long history of controversial statements.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sparred with Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz over his history of controversial statements on Thursday. Testifying before the so-called House Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, Kennedy denied the congresswoman’s characterization of his comments that COVID-19 may have been “ethnically targeted,” affecting Jewish and Chinese people less than others. As Wasserman Schultz attempted to cut him off, Kennedy grew frustrated: “You are slandering me incorrectly. What you’re saying is dishonest,” he said, angrily pointing a finger in her direction. Asked about another one of his past statements, in which he invoked Nazi Germany while discussing COVID-19 public health restrictions, he again barked back: “Congressman, what you are saying is a lie.”
