House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said he would not support disinviting Robert Kennedy Jr. from testifying. Republicans have called Kennedy Jr. to testify before a special subcommittee on the "weaponization" of the federal government. Kennedy Jr. is facing a torrent of criticism after he suggested that there is "an argument" that COVID-19 was targeted to spare Chinese and Ashkenazi Jews. COVID-19 attacks certain races disproportionately," Kennedy Jr. said at a press dinner in remarks first reported by The New York Post. In response, Kennedy Jr. claimed that The Post mischaracterized his comments.
