RFK Jr. Says Arabs Do Not Produce Science at Michigan Rally
He falsely claimed 500 million Arabs do not produce science or literature and said the Muslim Brotherhood has destroyed societies.
- On Monday, HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy delivered controversial remarks about Arabs at a Republican rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, claiming "500 million Arabs" do not "produce science" or win major prizes.
- Supporting Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers' campaign, the rally focused on his frequent accusations that his Democratic opponent, Abdul El-Sayed, has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, though El-Sayed has publicly disavowed the group.
- Critics condemned Kennedy's statements as factually incorrect; Egyptian scientist Ahmed Zewail won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, contradicting Kennedy's claims. Michigan has the highest share of residents reporting Arab ancestry in the United States at about 2.2 percent.
- Kennedy insisted discussing the organization was "not Islamophobia," labeling it a "death cult." Rogers previously faced questions on NBC's Meet the Press about his focus on El-Sayed's alleged affiliations.
- As the Senate race in Michigan nears its conclusion, controversy persists over Kennedy's remarks, with Rogers arguing El-Sayed has not adequately addressed questions despite public disavowals.
