RFK Jr. Defends Islam Remarks in Lengthy Essay

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. took 3,700 words on X Friday to defend remarks he made at a Mike Rogers event in Grand Rapids, Michigan. His position is that he went after Islamism and the Muslim Brotherhood, not Islam or Arabs as a whole, and he wants Democratic Senate nominee Abdul el Sayed to condemn the Brotherhood. El-Sayed says he has no ties to the group, and he could have said that in one sentence. Critics answered with Arab scientists, writers and Nobel laureates, a list that's hard to argue with at the feed store. Ilya Shapiro of the Manhattan Institute called the post 'very impressive,' which is high praise for anything with 3,700 words in it.
