Notice that the AP just declares that the remarks were “antisemitic.”
🚨RFK Jr. gives his opening statement before the Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, gets ROARING applause

From the AP:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. defended himself Thursday against accusations that he traffics in racist and hateful online conspiracy theories, testifying at a House hearing on government censorship despite requests from outside groups to disinvite the Democratic presidential candidate after his recent antisemitic remarks.
Back in the day, the news media did not use to report stories in this manner.
They would say “after his recent remarks, which some have characterized as antisemitic.”
Do you see the difference???
The Associated Press, in this article, is making a judgement call on the nature of RFK’s statements.
