Washington, D.C. – Today, video surfaced of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. making hateful, antisemitic, racist remarks regarding the COVID-19 epidemic. RFK Jr. is one of Jim Jordan’s star witnesses for next week’s so-called weaponization of the federal government hearing. In response, Congressional Integrity Project executive director, Kyle Herrig, issued the following statement: 

“Chairman Jordan must immediately disinvite Kennedy from next week’s hearing. In fact, we’re frankly shocked that in the time it’s taken to write and send this statement, Jordan apparently still plans to let Kennedy testify in the halls of Congress. By inviting this madman, Jordan is giving a platform to dangerous and racist conspiracy theories targeting Chinese and Jewish people. It’s hateful. It’s despicable. And it has no place in Congress.”
