Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination as the next US Health Minister has sparked international attention and media coverage. In a recent article, the German online news portal t-online published a piece that focused on Kennedy Jr.’s past visit to Berlin, where he attended a “Querdenken” demonstration in August 2020.
According to the article, Kennedy Jr. was scheduled to speak at the event and he was seen laughing in a video, saying “Berlin, Berlin, we’re going to Berlin” in reference to the event. The article also mentioned that Kennedy Jr. was a guest speaker at the “Querdenken” demonstration, which was attended by thousands of people at the time.
The article then shifted its focus to the police’s response to Kennedy Jr.’s presence in Berlin. The police had received a tip about his arrival and were instructed to locate and question him, as he was suspected of violating the then-current Corona infection control measures.
The article then presented different versions of the events from the police and a lawyer representing the “Querdenken” movement. The police confirmed that they had received an order to locate and question Kennedy Jr., but there were no concrete grounds to justify his arrest at the time.
The article concluded by stating that Kennedy Jr. had managed to evade the police and leave the country, with the author of the article drawing a conclusion that the nominee for the US Health Minister position had “made a run for it.”
It is worth noting that the article’s tone and language used to describe Kennedy Jr. and the “Querdenken” movement were somewhat critical and sensationalized, which may have influenced the reader’s perception of the events. A more neutral journalistic tone would focus on presenting the facts and avoiding emotive language.
