ABC News edited anti-vax comments made by Democratic presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. out of an interview that aired Thursday night.
Kennedy officially launched his longshot presidential bid last week from Boston, taking on Democratic President Joe Biden.
The son of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of President John F. Kennedy is an environmental lawyer but for more than a decade has also become one of the country's most prominent anti-vaxxers - falsely linking jabs to autism.
'We should note that during our conversation, Kennedy made false claims about the COVID-19 vaccines,' anchor Linsey Davis said when the interview aired. 'We've used our editorial judgment in not including extended portions of that exchange in our interview.'
'Data shows that the COVID-19 vaccine has prevented millions of hospitalizations and deaths from the disease,' Davis continued. 'He also made misleading claims about the relationship between vaccination and autism.'
