RFK Jr. accused of being a COCAINE dealer at Harvard University – as former classmate speaks out
A former Harvard fellow of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. accuses him of selling cocaine as a student.
The shocking claim came Friday from author Kurt Andersen in a scathing column for The Atlantic Ocean.
Earlier in the day, Kennedy suspended his third-party presidential campaign and endorsed Republican candidate Donald Trump.
Andersen claimed that as a Harvard student in the 1970s, he purchased cocaine from RFK Jr. and his brother Joseph P. Kennedy II for $40 in a dorm room.
“Somewhere in my freshman year I tried cocaine, liked it, and later decided to get a gram for myself,” Andersen said. “A friend told me about a kid in our class who was selling coke. The dealer was Bobby Kennedy.”

The writer claims he contacted RFK Jr. and was asked to come to his room in the Hurlbut dormitory, which the nephew of Democratic President John F. Kennedy shared with future journalist Peter Kaplan.
‘[RFK Jr.] “He poured me a line to taste, and gave me a one-inch plastic straw. I snorted. We chatted for a minute. I paid him, I think, $40 cash,” Andersen said.
“It was a lot of money, the equivalent of $300 today. But cocaine bought from a Kennedy accompanied by a Kennedy brother — the moment of glamour seemed worth it.”
The author claimed that he accidentally took the straw he used to taste the product and that Kennedy called him and demanded that he return it.
“I walked back to his room with it. He didn’t smile or say thank you. It was the last time I ever bought a Coke from anyone,” he said.
Andersen said he decided to share his experience because of RFK Jr.’s support for Trump.
‘If [Trump] president as Kennedy is trying to do, he wants to execute drug dealers. He said that in a speech as president in 2018,” he said.He said it again in 2022, when he announced his current candidacy.

The book, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the Dark Side of the Dream, details his long history of “compulsions and addictions” dating back to his adolescence.
At the age of 14, he began to hide his anger and sadness in marijuana and psychedelics, soon moving on to harder drugs, including heroin.
His first, but not last, drug-related arrest came a few months after he was expelled from one of his prep schools for drug possession.
Decades before marijuana became legal in many U.S. states, he was arrested on suspicion of marijuana possession in August 1970 on Cape Cod, along with the son of JFK’s sister, Eunice Kennedy Shriver.
At age 29, RFK Jr. overdosed on a flight and was found by police with heroin in his possession. He was charged with heroin possession and ordered to perform hundreds of hours of community service and stay within New York State borders.
