Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) proclaimed that a lot of Republicans have been duped by conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. before arguing that the presidential candidate is very much a Democrat.

Greene, during an interview at the Turning Point Action Conference on Saturday, acknowledged where she agrees with RFK Jr., then declared some of his policies are far, far left.

I really agree with his position on the vaccines. Its been my position all along. ... I have been totally against the COVID vaccines from day one ... totally against the mask, Greene told Right Side Broadcasting Network.

So I agree with Bobby Kennedy on a lot of things. But I tell you what, I think theres a lot of Republicans that have been fooled by him. Hes not a Republican, everyone. Hes very much a Democrat, she added.

Greene went on to contend that Kennedy whose Democratic Primary challenge to President Joe Biden has sparked conservative interest and whose top donors reportedly typically give to the GOP has some far, far left policies.

Theyre not the policies I want. They should not be the policies that you want, but everyone does like some things about him, like his positions on the COVID-19 vaccines, his position on holding the CIA and other agencies accountable, she said.

But I think thats the Democrat Party. I could care less about them.

Greenes comments were made the same day the New York Post shared a video that shows Kennedy voicing a bizarre conspiracy theory that COVID-19 has ethnically targeted certain races, adding that he isnt sure whether the virus was deliberately targeted or not.

Kennedy later tweeted that the Post was mistaken in its story, writing that he doesnt believe and never implied that the ethnic effect was deliberately engineered.
