I Didn't Say It ...

Robert Garcia, out Democrat Representative from California, leading the charge on the Epstein files:

“[GOP Representative from Kentucky,  James Comer] and Republican leadership understand that we are picking off Republicans to join Democrats in assuring that we get as much disclosure and transparency as possible. We are going to raise hell. What we got was complete bulls**t [from the DOJ and from Comer]. “We demanded the full Epstein files, and that’s not what was sent over. The White House cover-up clearly continues. What they sent us was 33,000 pages of documents that have already been in the public domain. Handpicked, partial productions are wholly insufficient and potentially misleading. They are now trying to claim somehow that Ghislaine Maxwell was claiming that [The Felon] wasn’t involved? Give me a break. She’s a sex trafficker and known liar. She should not be trusted. Once again, [The Felon], Pam Bondi, [Republican House Speaker] Mike Johnson, they’re all involved in a massive cover-up. I think what James Comer and the Republicans finally know is that Democrats on the Oversight Committee are not messing around. We’re gonna force votes, just like we forced the Epstein files to get released. We’re gonna force them to take votes they don’t wanna take, and we are not going to stop until we get justice for all the victims.”

Garcia and the Democrats have used the fury from the MAGAt base over the Epstein case to their advantage and yet, Oversight Chair Comer issued 11 subpoenas for testimony from Democrats such as former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and former FBI Directors James Comey and Robert Mueller, as well as former Attorneys General Merrick Garland and Bill Barr; The Felon was not on the list.

Oliver Kornetzke, in his words, ‘not a historian … not a Kremlinologist … not a credentialed scholar on authoritarian regimes … a behavioral psychologist … not a PhD in fascism or kleptocracy’ but he can tell you a little something about The Felon:

“Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul—all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn’t but has always been—arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshiped like gospel. It is America’s shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn’t just lose its soul—it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.”

He ain’t wrong …

Gavin Newsom, California Democrat Governor, taking apart JD “CouchF*cker” Vance over the recent shootings in Minneapolis:

“JD Vance just blamed mental illness for the epidemic of mass shootings in America. That’s rich considering that he and [The Felon] have cut over a trillion in mental health funding, including: $1 trillion in Medicaid, the nation’s primary funder of mental health services; $1 billion from school mental health programs; $1.1 billion from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration; $1.81 billion in National Institute of Health mental-health related grants. Enough hypocrisy, JD.”

JD, woefully out of his league and his only qualifications are taking vacations and running away from protesters.

Larry Krasner, Philadelphia' Democratic District Attorney, lays out a plan for arresting and prosecuting fascist ICEstapo agents and troops as the MAGA crackdowns spiral out of control:

"If what you have is a group of ICE agents or you even have the military coming into Philadelphia and they're committing crimes, they're committing assaults that are illegal, homicides that are illegal, they're kidnapping people, they're engaging in unlawful restraint which is a crime in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania ... They're obstructing the administration of justice ... If you have people coming in—military, ICE, whoever it is—acting beyond their legal authority they can be prosecuted, assuming they commit crimes, in state court. And they cannot be pardoned by the president which means that they get to tell a Philadelphia jury exactly why it is that they thought that they could invade this city and they get to bear the consequences whether they are in handcuffs, a jury trial, or a jail sentence."

This is exactly what we need from all of our Democratic leaders. The Felon and his band of fascists are breaking the law at every turn and it's time that we started holding them accountable. And by prosecuting any lawbreakers on a state level, Democrats can circumvent the presidential pardon which has been irreparably corrupted by The Felon.

Do it.

Mark Takano, out Democrat Representative from California, compared civil rights abuses that immigrant detainees face to the more than 125,000 Japanese-Americans forcibly sent to internment camps during WWII:

“I have seen that logic before, when the government imprisoned my family in camps, officials wrapped the policy in the language of necessity and security. They cited military zones and expedience, and they used banal words to mask a violation of the Constitution. There are distinctions between Japanese American incarceration of WWII and Alligator Alcatraz. But at its heart, there is not a wide gap between the two. In both instances, the government claimed that violation of human rights en masse was and is justified because of emergency circumstances. In both cases, there was and is no vetting, due process, or writ of habeas corpus. The government is so concerned with making it appear that they are executing on wild campaign promises that no human rights, no Constitution, and no court orders can stand in its way. This administration, which has leaned heavily into the optics of the prison and celebrated its cruelty, treats people as cattle to be processed rather than human beings with rights. [The Felon]’s ever-growing state apparatus makes sloppy, careless, and rushed arrests, which is precisely why independent oversight and real access are not optional luxuries but basic safeguards. None of this is radical. It is the bare minimum in a democracy that claims to respect the rule of law. The last time our nation failed this test, my family paid the price. I will not be quiet while others are made to pay it again.”

Is this the country any of us want to be? Locking people up in camps without due process? Separating families? Jailing children?

Seriously, this needs to stop and we all need to rise up against it.

Pete Buttigieg, on his tenth wedding anniversary with Chasten:

“Ten years ago tonight, I went on a first date, arriving at the pub with tickets to that night’s (South Bend) Cubs game in my pocket in case our chat over beer went really well. Which it did. A decade later, I can’t imagine life without Chasten and the amazing family we have built together. And I can’t wait to see what the next ten years and more will teach us about life and love.”

The Future President and First Gentleman, y’all.

I Didn't Say It ...

Alan Cumming, actor and The Traitors’ host, receiving a Doctor of Laws (LLD) in recognition of his multi-decade service to the arts from the University of St Andrews in Scotland:

“Last week St Andrews University made me a Doctor of Laws (LLD). I sat on the stage of the Younger Hall and watched hundreds of students as they stepped up to receive their degrees and saw pride and achievement and fear flicker across their faces. It made me think of my graduation from drama school forty (!) years ago and so I decided to say something to those students that I wish I’d heard all those years ago. I told them to always keep learning, that their formal education may now be over but to try to always stay open to the possibilities and experiences that life is going to fling at them. I told them to always be curious. I see people in life stop being curious and they just stop in general; they atrophy before your eyes. And I told them to always protest! Protesting is a part of your education too! It’s taking what you have learned and analyzed and combining it with your passion and then sharing it with the world. Always be curious! Always keep learning! Always be open to new people and new things. And always protest!”

Never stop learning; otherwise it all just stops.

Gavin Newsom, California Democrat governor, telling voters that they "have the power" to end his disastrous presidency during the mid-term elections:

“It’s not what happens to us, it’s how we respond to it. And our opportunity presents itself anew. In 18 months, you have the power to end [The Felon]’s presidency. We’ll have to deal with the tweets; we’ll have to deal with the attacks and the bullying. But the legislative agenda [will] effectively [be] over. You have that power in these midterms. [He] decided to send hundreds and hundreds of military troops into [MacArthur] Park, into the playground, in the middle of the day, where kids … were at summer camp. Not one arrest was made. But what he was doing—he wanted to make a point. Cruelty is the point. Cruelty is the point. I say this with love in my heart—with love in my heart—but love for my party and love for my country. Do you remember his response to the disaster in California? He blamed every single person [but]—not a peep of blame in Texas.”

Newsom got a rousing reception in … wait for it … it’s epic … Deeply Red rural South Carolina, by speaking truth, simple basic truths about The Felon.

Pete Buttigieg, former Secretary of Transportation, on the GOP’s "big, beautiful" federal budget bill:

“We’re hearing that the House has passed the megabill after it got through the Republican Senate. Now it’s on its way to [The Felon]’s desk, and he’s going to sign it. When he does, he will create some of the biggest tax breaks for billionaires in history, even more wealth to the wealthiest Americans. And the way they’re paying for it is to cut health care for working-class Americans, to cut food that would go to veterans and children in this country. To shut down rural hospitals and make an entire generation worse off. And they’re managing to increase the national debt and deficit while they do it. This is the decisive, once and for all answer to what the president and his party are about. You know, it was fashionable for Washington commentators for a while to say that this was a new, different, populist, working-class Republican Party. Now it has been demonstrated decisively that that was all bullshit. That they’re still all about making the wealthy even wealthier at the expense of working Americans. If there’s any good news in all of this, it’s that this is still a democracy. Even now, even with all of the damage that [The Felon] has done to our republic, there is no king in this country, which means we the people will have the last word. And it is up to us, the American people, to respond politically and say that it is unacceptable to harm the majority of Americans to make the very wealthiest a little better off.”

The bill extends the tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans yet slashes $1 trillion from Medicaid; it includes cuts to the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program [SNAP] which helps low-income Americans buy food, as well as the Children’s Health Insurance Program and Planned Parenthood. It will take health care coverage or subsidies away from an estimated 17 million people over the next decade, while adding $4 trillion to the national debt during that period.

Zohran Mamdani, Democrat candidate for mayor of New York City, taking on The Felon’s bigotry and stupidity:

“Yesterday [The Felon] said that I should be arrested, deported, denaturalized … he said those things less so because of who I am and more so because he wants to distract from what I fight for … if this is what [The Felon] feels comfortable saying about the Democratic nominee for New York City, imagine what [he] says about immigrants whose names they don’t even know.”

He’s exposing the fear-based campaigning of The Felon and the GOP; many of whom are suggesting he be deported because he’s Muslim. It makes me have to repeat something I have been saying since 9/11: Muslims are not terrorists, terrorists are terrorists, and the terrorists are in power and rounding up people of color, and denying aid to the poorest among us, and keeping women subjugated to the will of white politicians.

The GOP and The Felon and his entire regime are the terrorists.

Robert Garcia, out Democrat Representative from California, and member of the powerful House Oversight Committee announces plans to investigate The Felon’s pet fascist Stephen Miller:

"Essentially dehumanizing immigrants so that they’re less than human is Stephen Miller doing what he loves to do, which is be, essentially, the biggest piece of shit in this country. Stephen Miller should be ashamed of the way he is acting. I can’t even believe he’s from our state. One thing I’ve told people is that you can rest assured that if you are right now causing the level of harm that the Stephen Millers of the world are, that these ICE agents are, you are going to be held accountable. We’re not going to forget the harm that you’re causing to people and our government, and these folks are going to be held accountable. What’s happening right now, it’s so inhumane and gross. As an immigrant myself, who came here as a young kid, it’s just not the America that so many immigrants come to, to actually be a part of, to fight for, to fight for citizenship. We’ve got to continue winning in the courts, and that’s going to continue. And the other piece of it, people’s reaction, the protesting, the anger, the rising up against these actions also is having an effect. And you’re seeing that, I mean, what’s happening in LA, which was widely, as you know, mostly peaceful. The protests are energizing the population and the public to stand up against us, and we are seeing the impact it’s having on the Republicans electorally."

If Democrats take back control of the House in the midterm elections, Garcia will have even more power to hold these monsters accountable. Keep up the pressure, protest, and vote!

Harvey Fierstein, accepting his 2025 Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement at The Tony’s last month:

“Don't make Mommy cry. Oh, thank you so much. You gorgeous people, I have to tell you, since I got that call, something's been on my mind. This has all happened by accident. See, if it had gone to plan, I should now be a retired high school art teacher. But what happened was my freshman year of High School of Art and Design, this kid in my class said that his mother was starting a community theatre in Brooklyn and needed kids to come and make posters. I figured, ‘Why not?’ I don't know if it was the fumes from the magic markers, but I entered the basement of a Unitarian church in Flatbush, Brooklyn, and I found my community. Here were people, mostly adults, who saw this odd, chubby, recently bar mitzvahed boy (who'd put a towel on his head and lip sync Broadway show tunes into his bedroom mirror) and without hesitation or judgment just welcomed him in. I painted scenery, I ran lights, I pulled curtains. And by the age of 15, I was on the board of directors of The Gallery Players, a theatre that still exists in Brooklyn. From there, I moved to the world of experimental theatre in La MaMa, then Off Broadway. By then, I was writing and acting in my own shows, and I was always, always accepted just as I was. And then suddenly, well, not so suddenly, but you can get the rest of the story from my best-selling New York Times autobiography, I Was Better Last Night, at your favorite bookseller. So suddenly, I found myself on Broadway with Torch Song Trilogy. It was only then that I was cautioned, ‘If you want a career, keep your personal life to yourself.’ My answer was, ‘Have you seen Torch Song Trilogy?’ It was 1982 and not only did I arrive on Broadway, but so did AIDS. This was no time to hide. We needed to go to war, and it was a war that cost us much too dearly. I might never really understand how I survived those years, or the years that led me to be standing on this stage accepting a Lifetime Achievement Award. But what I find most humbling is the thought that somehow my journey means something to you. There's no way to really thank even a tiny percentage of the people responsible. No one does theatre alone, but I must call out my mother, who dragged us to opera and ballet and Broadway as often as she could afford. And my brother, who's sitting over there, used my shows as a personality test for his dates: If they freaked out seeing his drag queen brother, they were history. But I'd like to leave you with this thought, as many of you know, there is nothing quite like bathing in the applause of a curtain call, but when I bow, I bow to the audience with gratitude, knowing that without them, I might as well be lip syncing show tunes in my bedroom mirror. And so I dedicate this award to the people in the dark and offer my most profound thanks to all of you, my community.”

It’s all community, and we when stand with one another, and work with one another, and support one another, we win.

I Didn't Say It ...

Robert Garcia, California Democrat Congressman trolling Leon Skum during a hearing by saying that he brought a "dick pic" to show everyone—before holding up a photograph of the MAGA billionaire:

"I find it ironic of course that our chairman, Congresswoman [Marjorie Taylor] Greene, is in charge of running this committee. [In] the last Congress, Chairwoman Greene literally showed a dick pic in our Oversight Congressional hearing, so I thought I'd bring one as well. Now, this, of course we know, is President Elon Musk. He's also the world's richest man. He was the biggest political donor in the last election. He has billions of dollars in conflicts of interest and we know that he's leading a power grab also abided by and encouraged by [The Felon] and, of course, the chairwoman, Congresswoman Greene. But I also want to run through what DOGE actually is going to do; it's a demolition plan that's going to run through our government: DOGE is trying to abolish the Department of Education. That means opportunities [are] denied to kids. It means ripping away opportunities for children with disabilities who are dependent on this money. You're also halting medical research, which is also critical which we also have to stop. the idea that we are going to eliminate or destroy the National Institutes of Health, NIH, is crazy. Let's talk about the Department of Labor. We're talking about protections for working people across this country, where people can actually complain about abuses their companies are making against them and their coworkers. "Workers are now going to be in danger. Let's also talk about the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, another huge issue for us. Think about the scammers and fraudsters that will be empowered across this country because Elon Musk wants, essentially, these companies to have more power over consumers and over people across this country. Look at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. That is actually what's being discussed partly today. Healthcare, we're talking about being denied to millions of poor people, working class people across this country. And now of course they're on to their largest target: the US Social Security Administration. We're talking about the destruction of the actual social safety net in this country. We know that one in five Americans collect Social Security. Seniors. Disabled people. This entire plan is about hurting the American social safety net and destroying out institutions. “

Garcia is absolutely right. The Felon and Leon want to transition us from a democracy into an overt oligarchy, in which the whims of the rich and corporations are inflicted on the poor with impunity. If we let this come to pass, future generations will never forgive us.

The time to speak out is now.

Sidenote: Garcia is an out gay man, which again begs the question about why it’s mostly women and LGBTQ+ members of Congress speaking out while a majority of the straight white males sit in silence?

Cynthia Nixon, defending LGBTQ+ and trans rights NYU-Langone Hospital stopped offering gender-affirming care:

“I am here today as the mother of a proud trans man [28-year-old Seph]. I am here today as the aunt of a proud trans man. My best friend’s kid is trans and my kid’s best friend is trans. My wife and I, our lives are filled with the most amazing, beautiful, brave trans people—young and old, but especially young. My trans kid had his top surgery at NYU a number of years ago. His doctors were fantastic. His surgeon was the best we could’ve imagined. And the idea that this city is filled with young people who thought they had a place to go where they can receive the highest care—and that place has now been shut to them, sickens me. Sickens me to my core. I want to say, the last two weeks have been an assault, a barrage, so many horrific things coming at us from every direction. But since the Inauguration, and I would say since the election, nothing has made me feel so good as coming around the corner today and seeing you all standing here fighting for trans rights. Because [of] what is happening all over this country, it cannot happen here in New York. Here is where we have to take a stand.”

In one of the most diverse cities on the planet., hospitals are denying care to trans people, and if New York falls for that, nowhere will be safe and kind and welcoming to our trans brothers and sisters.

 Take a stand.

Jerry Moran, GOP Kansas Senator Jerry Moran, splitting with his party to admonish the reckless and illegal shutdown on USAID:

"Time is running out before this lifesaving aid perishes. Food stability is essential to political stability, and our food aid programs help feed the hungry, bolster our national security and provide an important market for our farmers, especially when commodity prices are low."

Moran says the USAID office shut down left $340 million in lifesaving food grown in the US sitting at domestic ports, waiting to be delivered to various destinations where people are starving, but hey … Leon Skum thinks starving people should … starve.

Good on Moran for putting the needs of people over the ego and goose-stepping on his party and they President Leon Skum. Moran says the USAID office shut down left $340 million in lifesaving food grown in the United States sitting at domestic ports, waiting to be delivered to various destinations where people are starving.

Once the courts stepped in and smacked Leon’s smug mug, Moran posted to X:

“GOOD NEWS: State Dept. has approved shipping to resume, allowing NGOs to distribute the $560 million of American-grown food aid sitting in US & global ports to those in need [and making] certain this life-saving aid gets to those in need before it spoils.”

Again, good on Moran for standing up.

Diana Ross, at the Grammys, on facing the darkness and rising again:

“I’ve been thinking a lot about how we can have the balance between celebrating and being filled with sorrow. Even as we face trials and tribulations with our soul, music brings us home. I am inviting us all to give love, hope and courage to those who are hurting tonight, especially the children who might be frightened. You are not alone. We stand with you. My heart reaches out to you. May this moment remind us all of the power that we hold to rebuild, to lift and to come together with compassion, and by reminding our future generations that, even in the darkness, we can rise again and keep the light of hope and love alive.”

I agree it’s hard to be hopeful or happy or optimistic, but don’t just read the bad news, read about those who are standing up and speaking out, the courts denying The Felon’s hate, the politicians, mostly women still, speaking out and standing up.

There will be light.

Bree Fram, a Colonel in the Air Force and one of the highest ranking trans service members in the US Military, on the Felon’s move to remove trans people from service:

“Turning away capable volunteers or removing highly qualified service members simply because they are transgender not only weakens our military but also undermines the very principles that define America. If you meet the standard, your service should be welcomed.”

Bigots and racists are welcomed into the military but a trans soldier is somehow deemed not worthy or a distraction?

The trans soldiers are fighting for the rights or people while the racists and bigots are fighting for white male rights.

Laverne Cox, trans actor, on this new regime:

"At the end of the day, trans people are less than 1% of the population. Trans people aren't the reason you can't afford eggs. They're not the reason you can't afford healthcare. We're not the reason you can't buy a house. I think they're focused on the wrong 1%."

Truth. It’s not trans Americans trying to cut down the government to enrich the wealthy.

I Didn't Say It

Jinkx Monsoon, RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 7, on the current strike from the Screen Actors Guild [SAG] and the Writers Guild of America [WGA] and asking drag performers to strike in solidarity:

“I want to talk to all my fellow drag entertainers and queer artists, content creators, and influencers. I am a member of SAG, so I have a vested interest in the actors and the writers’ strike right now. But I am also a drag artist and queer entertainer who’s worked in this industry for 10 years now. And I know firsthand that drag artists, queer entertainers … we are not fully taken seriously yet. Especially drag artists. Lots of times we’re treated like a novelty. We’re treated like we’re interchangeable with each other. I know as a drag artist and queer entertainer that you never know when your next gig is coming and we live off our gigs, so it’s scary to turn down work. But if a company approaches you right now to promote new work, to act in new work, to write for new work, and you take that job, you will be considered a ‘scab.’ What that means is that SAG will no longer consider you eligible to ever join the actor’s union. This could affect your career in the long run when this strike is over. Taking a job right now could prevent you from getting work in the future.”

Monsoon also noted how important it is for LGBTQ+ performers to stand strong right now in order to prove how valuable our community is to Hollywood studios.

​A few commenters criticized Jinkx for supporting the strike but still going on the road with her current Everything at Stake Tour but she reminded them that the strike does not apply to live entertainment that has no connection to any major studio, film or TV show, which is Monsoon’s case.

So see a drag show, but stand with all the actors and writers, straight and LGBTQ+ who are on strike.

Charles Barkley, NBA legend, standing up transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney and Bud Light in a bar and in his own inimitable style:

"So I’m gonna buy some drinks for y’all and I’m gonna buy Bud Light. All you rednecks or assholes who don't want to drink Bud Light—fuck y'all. Hey, y'all can't cancel me. "I ain't worried about getting canceled. If y'all fire me and give me all that money, I'm going to be playing golf every fucking day. I got three cases of Bud Light. If you're gay, bless you. If you're trans, bless you. If you have a problem with that, fuck you!"

This is what we … and I’ll channel my inner Charles Barkley … fucking need is allies to stand the fuck up against the bigots and the haters and fucking shut them down every fucking time they spew their ignorance.

Fuck them; and bless Charles Barkley.

Robert Garcia, out Democrat Representative from California, calling out Large Marge for her publicity stunt of trying to humiliate Hunter Biden by showing naked pictures of him in a Congressional  hearing:

“Today’s hearing is like most of the majority’s investigations and hearings: a lot of allegations, zero proof, no receipts, but apparently some d**k pics. Now, at a certain point, the American people need some actual evidence, actual evidence, but we’ve seen absolutely none. This is, of course, in stark contrast to the _____ crime family. The majority conveniently glazes over the _____ family’s foreign dealings. The _____ family, who, of course, were actually appointed to White House senior jobs, from Ivanka’s Chinese trademarks to Jared’s Qatari real estate bailout and two billion in Saudi private equity money. So where’s that investigation? They were actually in the White House.”

Of note: Hunter Biden doesn’t work for the president or have a position in the White House, but Marge thought it a good idea to show nude photos of him during another hearing on Hunter not paying taxes.

They have no evidence that President Biden did anything wrong but, like Benghazi, they will beat this dead horse. Yet, sadly, the dead horse I refer to is not Marjorie Taylor Green.

Ted Cruz, going after Barbie because … of who the hell knows … for the attention:

“There’s a scene in Barbie, where there is this map of the world, and it’s drawn like with crayon. I mean, it’s really a very simple cartoon. And so they have this blockish thing that is called ‘Asia.’ And then they’ve drawn what are called the nine-dashes. This is Chinese communist propaganda in which the Chinese are asserting sovereignty over the entirety of the South China Sea. And they don’t have any right to it under international law, but they are trying to take it away from their neighbors there.”

The image in question that has Rafael’s panties bunched shows a crude map of the world with Barbie standing in front of, and an outline of land labeled “Asia” with eight dashes drawn in the sea.

And this has Rafael pissed; not the excessive heat in his home state that’s been going on for weeks, or the murder of immigrants in the Rio Grande, or Climate Change or anything else.

It’s Barbie.

Vivek Ramaswamy, businessman and GOP candidate for the presidency, proving he’s perfect for the GOP by flip-flopping on January 6 and the Thing 45 indictments:

“My concern is unless we reconcile ourselves with what the truth of the matter was that led to Jan. 6, that’s really just going to be a friendly preview of what’s to come in this country. I think every American has to look, especially much of the Left in this country that denounces Jan. 6 and the supposed threats to our democracy. Everyone in this country has to take a long, hard look in the mirror and ask ourselves what role each of us played in getting to that day.”

Well, Vivek, I played no role in it; I didn’t amass a mob at the White House and rile them up and tell them to march to the capitol and “take back our country.”

And what’s funny is that your change of heart about January 6 occurred mere hours after Thing 45 talked about you as a possible running mate. And what’s especially funny is that you felt very differently about Thing 45 and 1/6 right after it happened:

Kerry Kennedy, sister of Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., speaking out about his conspiracy theory that Covid-19 was “targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people” and that Jewish people are most immune:

I strongly condemn my brother’s deplorable and untruthful remarks last week about Covid being engineered for ethnic targeting. His statements do not represent what I believe or what Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights stand for, with our 50+-year track record of protecting rights and standing against racism and all forms of discrimination.”

Kerry Kennedy is president of the non-profit group Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights.

How lovely to have a brother like that and to constantly distance yourself from his inane ramblings and half-truths.
