Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has made some questionable remarks regarding China in recent years, including applauding the country for allegedly using threats of prison or organ harvesting as a means to meet its green energy goals, according to unearthed comments reviewed by Fox News Digital.
"They take this very seriously," Kennedy said in 2014, speaking of China and its clean energy agreement that year. "I don’t know whether… the guy ends up in prison with his, you know, organs harvested or what. But they are very, very dead serious."
Kennedy’s comments, made on "The Ring Of Fire" radio show in 2014, followed the Obama administration announcing in November of that year that it was aiming to lower greenhouse gas emissions by 26% to 28% by 2025 compared to 2005 levels. Simultaneously, China announced it was aiming to increase its non-fossil fuel share of all energy to around 20% by 2030, according to the White House press release at the time.
The green energy plans from the two nations were announced in the lead-up to the Paris climate agreement that was adopted by 195 nations in 2015.
Kennedy pledged support for the Paris agreement in his remarks on the 2014 radio show, while lauding President Barack Obama for his climate policies.
"Well, Obama’s really been extraordinary over the past couple months, as you said, he did the power plant rule, which for the first time will allow the EPA and the states to start regulating CO2," Kennedy added in his radio show remarks.

RFK Jr says Donald Trump has ‘discredited the American experiment’
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7903551/Robert-Kennedy-Jr-says-Donald-Trump-discredited-American-experiment.html
All the Kennedys are/were wackos.
I wonder if some nut job will tale him out. It will be an interesting election cycle.
Ah!
The (pro-Biden) Fox News begins its assault on the only effective opponent to Joe Biden in the social-communist democrat party.
For now 8 years, they been swinging steadily away from ANY conservative positions nationally and locally.
That worm must have eaten his moral center.
Not really since they had been giving him a platform previously which was endearing him to some on the right and damaging Trump. Making him out to be the left wing extremist that he is will push these voters back to Trump.
The Q brigade here has been, and continues to, promote him as credible - which can only damage Trump. RFK Jr. has zero credibility.
