Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. blamed the media for dragging his campaign Sunday, saying he has been slammed “even more than President Trump was slammed” by mainstream media outlets.

“I’ve been really, you know, slammed in a way that I think is unprecedented,” Kennedy said during an interview on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”

Kennedy, a longtime vaccine skeptic who is running a longshot primary campaign against President Joe Biden, is more popular among Republicans than Democrats, according to polling.

The nephew of former President John F. Kennedy and the son of his brother, Robert F. Kennedy, Kennedy Jr. has been hit with backlash for his stances on vaccines, particularly recent comments he made suggesting that the coronavirus could have been “targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people,” while sparing Jewish and Chinese people. Kennedy denied allegations of racism and antisemitism, saying on Twitter: “I have never, ever suggested that the Covid-19 virus was targeted to spare Jews.”

“I mean, listen, if I believed the stuff that’s written about me in the papers and reported about me on the mainstream news sites, I would definitely not vote for me,” Kennedy told host Maria Bartiromo. “I would think I was a very despicable person.”

    To which parts?

    You started out pretty well, seeing both sides of the issue, understanding why some may choose not to get the CP vaxx. But then you turned totalitarian real quick.

    “It’s not mandated. Only if they go to public school…which you pay for. So you pay for a school that you’re mandated to send your children to unless you want them taken away and put into the foster care system where they will get sexually abused, and you have to inject them with whatever we say, or else you can’t send them to school, which we will then take your kids away.”

        You have absolutely no argument at all. Just because you say ‘no’ doesn’t make it wrong.

            If you have no argument against my statements, you admit you have inconsistent reasoning, and that makes it unconvincing.

                You didn’t explain anything. You just keep saying no. You sound like a politician. Just keep saying no and eventually the smarter person gives up on trying to convince you, and you think you won.

                Have a good day.

                  What? I thought we were having a conversation.

                  Oh well. Vaccinate your kids boys and girls. Chau~
