Hate speech has consequences. Distortion of the truth has consequences,” Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., said. “It’s not censorship to try to correct that record.”

Republicans had invited Kennedy to testify about online censorship before the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, but Democrats called for the invitation to be rescinded after the New York Post reported on comments made by Kennedy promoting a conspiracy theory about the COVID-19 pandemic.

  1. Asking a question and refusing to listen to the answer – pathetic

  2. Shame on her. How unprofessional and disgraceful. I thought she would magically disappear after her work with the Hillary campaign which made me sick.

  3. It's not about RFK it's about Joe Biden. We are a 3rd world country where if you can't beat them fairly then you destroy them.

  4. USA today is complicit with crime!

  5. I've lost all respect for the dems in congress, its so obvious they care nothing for the truth and ignore all the facts and are completely corrupt, this proves it. RFK Jr clearly states how his comments are taken out of context to smear him and they literally just parrot the smearing again. So pathetic, this lady is the absolute worst, a disgusting corrupt rat that somehow is allowed to speak on these matters. Need to exterminate this pile of human feces that sits on these committees. Unbelievable they try to censor him at a censorship meeting, no shame with these people. Bought and paid for by the corporations that put them there.

  6. That dude behind Debbie tho. If looks could kill

  7. Watch the entire hearing and you will understand how dangerous the Dems, Media, and the administrative state are. We are in trouble folks. This one proves it. You can’t even comment on it on most channels. I fear it’s too late for us to get it back.

  8. You would really have to have a room temperature IQ to not be able to see how dishonest and shameful Wasserman Schultz's accusations are here. She must think her intended audience are incompetent stooges.

  9. USA Today should be ashamed of themselves for posting THIS. This 1 minute, piss poor clip.

  10. Calling something a conspiracy theory is a way to shut people up, stop debate, shut down the conversation and is a very antidemocratic avenue.

  11. You democrats are no good

  12. Lil Deb Washerwoman is despicable to say the least. She's right up there with Hillary Rotten Clinton. Oh by the way, she rigged the primary in favor of Clinton to beat Sanders when she was party chair.

  13. SCHULTZ IS A MESS….AND VERY RUDE.

  14. This Debbie Wasserman Schultz is an extremely despicable Congress critter. She should be cast out of Congress for behavior unbecoming a Congressman. These Lib-Dems cannot stand a fellow Democrat who speaks the truth. We are wasting our taxpayers' money paying for their average $174,000 annual salaries. Defund the frapping Congress!

  15. She has been hiding under a rock since Hillary lost the election. She has had no relevance. She was part of the Dem cabal including Jennifer Palmieri that lost the election. So now she comes out on nowhere to attack RFK. This is the price of losing and being part of the peer group within a particular party that lost an election. She is being served up and paying the price.

  16. USA today is like a giant shit smear.
    full of boot shiners and skidmore alum.
    Crocks and Salmon shirts probably abound

  17. I think tha the few jews on the committee are doing a severe dishonor to the jewish people !

  18. what a cucking funt

  20. "COVID-19, There is an argument that it is ethnically targeted. COVID-19 attacks certain races disproportionately. COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese. We don’t know whether it was deliberately targeted or not but there are papers out there that show the racial or ethnic differential and impact.”

    Israel planning 'ethnic' bomb as Saddam caves in

    The Sunday Times (London) 1998
    by Uzi Mahnaimi
    and Marie Colvin

    ISRAEL is working on a biological weapon that would harm Arabs but not Jews, according to Israeli military and western intelligence sources. The weapon, targeting victims by ethnic origin, is seen as Israel's response to Iraq's threat of chemical and biological attacks.

    Yesterday Saddam Hussein, the Iraqi leader, backed away from the brink of war and agreed to resume co-operation with the inspection teams seeking his suspected chemical and biological weapons plants.

    Kofi Annan, the United Nation secretary-general, said he believed Iraq had met UN requirements. As Britain and America stood by to bomb Saddam, however, Tony Blair's office said compliance must be unconditional.

    The White House, which is threatening Iraq with the biggest onslaught since the Gulf war, said President Bill Clinton's advisers were assessing whether Iraq's offer was adequate. The Pentagon is ready to bomb within days.

    Last week Downing Street warned Labour MPs that Saddam could be only weeks away from completing the construction of offensive biological weapons mounted on Scud missiles. Israel was hit by Scuds during the Gulf war and fears it would be the prime target.

    In developing their "ethno-bomb", Israeli scientists are trying to exploit medical advances by identifying distinctive genes carried by some Arabs, then create a genetically modified bacterium or virus.

    The intention is to use the ability of viruses and certain bacteria to alter the DNA inside their host's living cells. The scientists are trying to engineer deadly micro-organisms that attack only those bearing the distinctive genes.

    The programme is based at the biological institute in Nes Tziyona, the main research facility for Israel's clandestine arsenal of chemical and biological weapons.

    A scientist there said the task was hugely complicated because both Arabs and Jews are of semitic origin. But he added: "They have, however, succeeded in pinpointing a particular characteristic in the genetic profile of certain Arab communities, particularly the Iraqi people." The disease could be spread by spraying the organisms into the air or putting them in water supplies.

    The research mirrors biological studies conducted by South African scientists during the apartheid era and revealed in testimony before the truth and reconciliation commission.

    The idea of a Jewish state conducting such research has already provoked outrage in some quarters because of parallels with the genetic experiments of Dr Josef Mengele, the Nazi scientist at Auschwitz.

    Dedi Zucker, a member of knesset, the Israeli parliament, denounced the research yesterday. "Morally, based on our history, and our tradition and our experience, such a weapon is monstrous and should be denied," he said.

    Some experts said that although the concept of an ethnically targeted weapon was feasible, the practical aspects of creating one were enormous.

    Dr Daan Goosen, head of a South African chemical and biological warfare plant, said his team was ordered in the 1980s to develop a "pigmentation weapon" to target only black people. He said the team discussed spreading a disease in beer, maize or even vaccinations but never managed to develop one.

    However, a confidential Pentagon report warned last year that biological agents could be genetically engineered to produce new lethal weapons. William Cohen, the American defence secretary, revealed that he had received reports of countries working to create "certain types of pathogens that would be ethnic-specific". A senior western intelligence source confirmed last week that Israel was one of the countries Cohen had in mind.

    The "ethno-bomb" claims have been given further credence in Foreign Report, a Jane's publication that closely monitors security and defence matters. It reports unnamed South African sources as saying Israeli scientists have used some of the South African research in trying to develop an "ethnic bullet" against Arabs.

    It also says Israelis discovered aspects of the Arab genetic make-up by researching on "Jews of Arab origin, especially Iraqis".

    The British Medical Association has become so concerned about the lethal potential of genetically based biological weapons that it has opened an investigation, which is due to report in January.

    Dr Vivienne Nathanson, who organised the research, said: "With an ethnically targeted weapon, you could even hit groups within a population. The history of warfare, in which many conflicts have an ethnic factor, shows us how dangerous this could be."

    Porton Down, Britain's biological defence establishment, said last week that such weapons were theoretically possible. "We have reached a point now where there is an obvious need for an international convention to control biological weapons," said a spokesman.

  21. So she won't even let him speak , A keeper of the truth that'll tell you everything never trust people who do this , Not very skillfull are tactful in her Art .

  22. Wasn't Schultz removed from a committee for ethical reasons. I can see why.

  23. remind us why Schultz was essentially fired as DNC chair and forced to resign? Oh yeah, her leading a conspiracy to marginaalise Bernie Sanders, in return for favors from the Clinton campaign. She lives and breathes sleaze and corruption. She bemoan's Russian interference and the fake Russiagate scandal, when she actively participated in surpressing a presidential candidate in her own party. She needs to learn to stfu already, and be reminded of her past…constantly.

  24. I remember the Wuhan Lab and many other Covid examples being labeled a “conspiracy theory” and Jeffrey Epstein’s death, also labeled a “conspiracy theory”. How many conspiracy theory claims turned true a year later do you expect us to just blindly accept?

  25. If mainstream media has an issue with the science, go after the researchers who published the studies.

    U.S. National Institutes of Health

    Publication: ACE2 coding variants in different populations and their potential impact on SARS-CoV-2 binding affinity,
    Publication Date: December 2020, Vol. 24

    The susceptibility of different populations to SARS-CoV-2 infection is not yet understood. Here, we combined ACE2 coding variants' analysis in different populations and computational chemistry calculations to probe the effects on SARS-CoV-2/ACE2 interaction. ACE2-K26R; which is most frequent in Ashkenazi Jewish population decreased the SARS-CoV-2/ACE2 electrostatic attraction. On the contrary, ACE2-I468V, R219C, K341R, D206G, G211R increased the electrostatic attraction; ordered by binding strength from weakest to strongest. The aforementioned variants are most frequent in East Asian, South Asian, African and African American, European, European and South Asian populations, respectively.

    ACE2 Variants and electrostatic interaction (low attraction > high attraction):

    Ashkenazi Jews: K26R

    East Asian (China, Japan, Korea): 1468V

    South Asian: R219C

    African/African American: K341R

    European: D206G

    European/South Asian G211R

  26. I’ve have to side with RFK Jr., on this one. She asked him a question, so he has a right to answer the question.
    What’s “with this reclaiming” my time” “reclaiming my time”? etc (sounds like a childish playground rant)
    What’s next?, did she put her hands on her ears and say
    “I’m rubber your glue whatever you say bounces off me, and sticks to you“
