Could Robert Kennedy Jr.'s Alliance With This Notorious Anti-Semite Hurt His Chances Against Joe Biden?

The relationship between Kennedy and Farrakhan began in 2015 when Kennedy visited the Nation of Islam leader at his Chicago residence to discuss the measles vaccine administered to young children.

Following the meeting, Farrakhan shared on social media that the vaccine was "designed" to harm black males. "Some of us are afraid, but Mr. Kennedy found his way to our door," Farrakhan stated.

Farrakhan, who has a large following through the Nation of Islam and has praised Adolf Hitler and likened Jews to "termites," now openly supports Kennedy. He credits Kennedy for exposing him to the controversial and widely disputed theory linking childhood measles vaccines to autism.

A Fox News poll revealed that 19% of Democratic voters support Kennedy over President Joe Biden. This popularity among Democrats could undermine the party's efforts to depict the Republican base as anti-science bigots.

Although Biden remains the heavy favorite, Kennedy's unexpectedly robust numbers indicate that many Democratic voters are willing to back a candidate who promotes anti-vaccine conspiracy theories.

One analyst suggests that Kennedy's strong support could pose a problem for Biden. It demonstrates the President is "ceding a significant and potentially embarrassing chunk of voters to an anti-vaccine activist."

Most researchers have dismissed Kennedy's claims about the measles vaccine, arguing that they are based on misinterpreting data related to autism cases in vaccinated children. However, this has not deterred Kennedy and Farrakhan from continuing their alliance.

"I thank God for Minister Farrakhan for getting involved in this. He's been a truly great partner in this battle," Kennedy said at a protest with the Nation of Islam outside the CDC headquarters in Atlanta in October 2015.

In 2016, the Nation of Islam promoted Kennedy's film, Vaxxed, which accuses the federal government of covering up a connection between vaccines and autism in black children. Kennedy, who leads the anti-vaccine group Children's Health Defense, hosted Nation of Islam officials at a 2017 press conference with actor Robert De Niro, promoting the vaccine-autism link.

Farrakhan praised Kennedy's documentary as "brilliant" when it premiered at a Nation of Islam conference in February 2021.

Throughout the Coronavirus pandemic, Kennedy and Farrakhan maintained their partnership. During a 2020 speech, Farrakhan referred to a vaccine as a "vial of death" and urged his followers to "follow Robert Kennedy."

In another speech that year, Farrakhan claimed that Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates conspired to administer the vaccine worldwide to "depopulate the Earth."

Ava Muhammad, a Nation of Islam minister, said at the event that the vaccine's purpose was to "cull the population of our planet by 2-3 billion" because "white people see their [population] numbers going down, and the numbers of indigenous people, black, red, and brown, going up." The Nation of Islam has cited Kennedy asserting that the polio vaccine is linked to higher cancer rates in black people.

Kennedy's private diary excerpts leaked in 2013 revealed that he had not always supported Farrakhan. In the diary, Kennedy expressed disappointment that civil rights leader Jesse Jackson had a "love affair with Louis Farrakhan and his Jewish xenophobia."

Kennedy is not the only prominent liberal to have aligned with Farrakhan, who is far from being a pariah in Democratic politics. Former President Obama managed to suppress a photograph of himself engaged in what the Philadelphia Tribune described as a "warm conversation" with Farrakhan.
