Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said. on Sunday that he was being attacked by the mainstream media in an “unprecedented” way that was hostile and went beyond the way former President Trump was scrutinized.

“It’s interesting to me because I was really, you know, slammed in a way that I think has never been done even more than President Trump has been slammed by the mainstream, by the corporate media,” Kennedy told Fox Business’s Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures” this weekend.

“But the Harris Harvard poll [The Harvard CAPS / Harris Poll] out of the gold standard poll, I think 2,500 people yesterday showed that my popularity is higher than I think 20 points than any other political candidate so, at least the American people are hearing what I’m saying,” Kennedy added.

Kennedy told Bartiromo that his unfavorability ratings should be “off the charts” if everyone believed the negative press against him, but that was not the case.

“I mean, listen, if I believed the things that were written about me in the papers and reported about me on the major sites, I wouldn’t have any, I certainly wouldn’t be voting for me and I would think I’m a very bad person,” Kennedy said.

Kennedy has faced intense scrutiny from mainstream media outlets for his opposition to government censorship, his push for greater transparency and testing of the vaccine authorization process. He was accused of antisemitism following comments he made about bioweapons being developed by countries, including the US and China, and how there was an “argument” that COVID may have been “ethnically targeted”.

“It has nothing to do with antisemitic, and it’s not a conspiracy theory,” Kennedy told Fox News Digital. “I just said that we should be concerned about the billions of dollars that the most powerful governments in the world are spending to develop ethnic bioweapons, and this is happening now all over the world.”

“I cited a 2021 paper by the Cleveland Clinic that suggested that COVID-19 was not intentionally created this way but that it disproportionately affected some races and that the races most affected due to the adjustment of the docking mechanism in the furin cleave were most compatible with people of African descent and Caucasians and least compatible with Finns and Chinese Ashkenas.” “I never suggested that that was deliberately made by the Chinese or anybody else. It’s just a fact.”

Kennedy’s poll numbers have remained steady since he launched his 2024 presidential campaign, despite media attacks, and a recent Fox News poll showed the challenger commanding 16% of the Democratic primary vote.

A recent Quinnipiac poll showed that nearly half of US voters would consider a third party candidate, although Kennedy stressed that he was only interested in running as a Democrat. Fox News Digital’s Joseph A. Wulfsohn contributed to this report
