Kennedy Jr. \/ Twitter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Robert Kennedy Jr. has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/campaign-2024-an-early-look-at-the-possible-republican-contenders\/\" title=\"Campaign 2024: An Early Look At The Possible Republican Contenders\">gained significant support<\/a> from the Democratic party since announcing his run for president. However, his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/frances-renault-plans-no-big-price-cuts-despite-tesla-challenge\/\" title=\"France\u2019s Renault plans no big price cuts despite Tesla challenge\">long-standing alliance<\/a> with notorious anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan has raised eyebrows. Farrakhan credits Kennedy with introducing him to anti-vaccine theories, and the two have cosponsored events and promoted each other&#8217;s work.<\/p>\n<h3>The Kennedy-Farrakhan Courtship<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>In 2015, Kennedy visited Farrakhan to discuss the measles vaccine, which Farrakhan claimed was &#8220;designed&#8221; to harm black males.<\/li>\n<li>Kennedy has cosponsored events with the Nation of Islam and praised Farrakhan as a &#8220;truly great partner&#8221; in the &#8220;battle&#8221; to publicize the autism theory.<\/li>\n<li>Kennedy debuted his documentary <em>Medical Racism: The New Apartheid<\/em> at a Nation of Islam conference in 2021, winning praise from Farrakhan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Despite researchers disputing Kennedy&#8217;s claims about the measles vaccine, he and Farrakhan continue to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/how-surging-democrat-robert-f-kennedy-introduced-anti-semite-louis-farrakhan-to-the-anti-vaxx-movement\/\" title=\"How Surging Democrat Robert F. Kennedy Introduced Anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan to the Anti-Vaxx Movement\">promote anti-vaccine conspiracy theories<\/a>. Farrakhan has a history of praising Adolf Hitler, comparing Jews to &#8220;termites,&#8221; and maintaining a massive following through the Nation of Islam.<\/p>\n<h3>Democratic Support for Kennedy<\/h3>\n<p>Despite his controversial alliance with Farrakhan, Kennedy has gained support from 19% of Democratic voters, according to a Fox News poll. This could cut against the party&#8217;s efforts to portray the Republican base as anti-science bigots. While President Joe Biden is still the heavy favorite, Kennedy&#8217;s surprisingly strong numbers show that a sizable chunk of Democratic voters are open to supporting a candidate who has pushed anti-vaccine conspiracy theories.<\/p>\n<h3>Farrakhan&#8217;s Influence in Democratic Politics<\/h3>\n<p>Kennedy is not the only prominent liberal to find common cause with Farrakhan, and the minister is not a pariah in Democratic politics. Former President Barack Obama managed to suppress a picture of himself engaged in a &#8220;warm conversation&#8221; with Farrakhan. The British boy band Coldplay even dedicated a song to the anti-Semitic preacher.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the controversy surrounding their alliance, Kennedy and Farrakhan have not commented on the matter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. In a recent speech, Farrakhan praised Kennedy for his bravery in reaching out to the African American community, saying, &#8220;Some of us are afraid, but Mr. Kennedy found his way to our door.&#8221; This powerful statement highlights the importance of building bridges and breaking down barriers in our society. It&#8217;s inspiring to see leaders like Kennedy and Farrakhan working together to create a more inclusive and just world. Let&#8217;s hope that their example inspires others to follow in their footsteps and work towards a brighter future for all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":155,"featured_media":1922071,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[544],"tags":[16842,25526,4912,16705,5615,5111,5686,5577,8609,13362],"class_list":["post-1922070","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-free-beacon","tag-anti-semite","tag-anti-vaxx","tag-democrat","tag-farrakhan","tag-introduced","tag-kennedy","tag-louis","tag-movement","tag-robert","tag-surging"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1922070","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/155"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1922070"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1922070\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1922071"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1922070"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1922070"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1922070"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
