Following ant-Arab remarks, RFK Jr. promotes faith-based recovery program at Detroit visit • Michigan Advance
DETROIT — A day after Health and Human Services secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made anti-Arab remarks at a get-out-the-vote rally for Republican candidates in Grand Rapids, Kennedy declined to address the comments during a stop in Detroit to promote a new care program for homeless individuals. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made anti-Arab remarks at a rally for Republican candidates in Grand Rapids, Michigan, while campaigning for U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. Kennedy claimed that Arabs do not contribute to science and literature, blaming the Muslim Brotherhood for destroying the Muslim tradition. These comments have been largely condemned as racist and Islamophobic. The Council on American-Islamic Relations has called for Kennedy's dismissal, stating that his use of "fabricated, white supremacist talking points" disqualifies him for public office. Kennedy also addressed the need for long-term support for homeless individuals and emphasized the need in Detroit for the Safety Through Recovery, Engagement, and Evidence-based Treatment and Support (STREETS) program.
