Lunatic Conspiracy Theorist Returns to Lunatic-Conspiracy-Theorist Ways

What was once a fun story in the New York Post about aggressive farting during a dinner conversation has taken a darker turn. And once again, it involves the Jews. Why must it always involve the Jews? Can people please just stop talking about the Jews?

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dished out wild COVID-19 conspiracy theories this week during a press event at an Upper East Side restaurant, claiming the bug was a genetically engineered bioweapon that may have been “ethnically targeted” to spare Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people.

Kennedy floated the idea during a question-and-answer portion of raucous booze and fart-filled dinner at Tony’s Di Napoli on East 63d Street.

“COVID-19. There is an argument that it is ethnically targeted. COVID-19 attacks certain races disproportionately,” Kennedy said. “COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese.”

A round of applause to everyone attempting to mainstream Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Your instincts remain as superb as ever. He’s your problem folks, not mine!
