Kerry Kennedy, sister of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has publicly condemned his false and offensive claims about COVID-19 being "ethnically targeted" to attack certain ethnic groups. Kennedy Jr. is still scheduled to testify before the House panel on Thursday, and his false claims have sparked accusations of antisemitism and racism. The controversy has highlighted the need for social media companies to take a stronger stance against the spread of misinformation, and raised questions about the responsibility of public figures to be mindful of the impact of their words.
