'That's insane': CNN's Jake Tapper stunned as he mocks RFK's 'plandemic' conspiracy theory

The normally straight-faced CNN host Jake Tapper couldn't hold back his skepticism after airing a newly unearthed video of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suggesting the U.S. government secretly orchestrated the COVID-19 pandemic.

The video, revealed by The Bulwark on Tuesday, shows Kennedy — President-elect Donald Trump's choice to head the Department of Health and Human Services — talking about the pandemic, and that "a lot of it feels very planned to me."

“Many people argue that this pandemic was a ‘plandemic,’ that it was planned from the outset. It’s part of a sinister scheme. I can’t tell you the answer to that. I don’t have enough evidence. A lot of it feels very planned to me,” Kennedy told the press while he was opening a new chapter of his group, the Children's Health Defense, which has promoted vaccine conspiracies in online ads, according to The Washington Post.

“I don’t know. I will tell you this: If you create these mechanisms for control, they become weapons of obedience for authoritarian regimes no matter how beneficial or innocent the people who created them," he said.

Tapper came back from the video clip to say, "Okay, so I can tell you the answer to that. I have enough evidence, and that's insane. That's not what happened. Horrible."

He turned to Trump supporter and Republican strategist David Urban to point out that Kennedy "isn't even a Republican" and ask why his party is standing behind him.

Urban and Kate Bedingfield, former White House communications director for Joe Biden, began talking over each other in an attempt to talk about Kennedy.

Bedingfield and Tapper both pointed out to Urban that Kennedy was saying that about Trump, who was president at the time.

Urban said found a meme funny because Trump is nominating Democrats such as Tulsi Gabbard, Elon Musk, Kennedy and others.
