RFK Jr doubles down on allegation CIA involved in JFK’s assassination  

Democratic presidential nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. doubled his belief that the CIA was involved in the assassination of his uncle, President John F. Kennedy.

RFK Jr., who recently announced his campaign for president, told Fox News host Sean Hannity that story surrounding his uncle’s murder was a “60-year cover.”

He told Hannity Monday that there is strong evidence linking the Central Intelligence Agency to the 1963 assassination of JFK by Lee Harvey Oswald.

‘There are millions of pages of documents; CIA documents, transcripts, taped conversations from the Cuban embassy in Mexico City – it’s hard to summarize the evidence,” he said.

On Sunday, he told New York radio host John Catsimatidis that he believes “it is beyond a reasonable doubt at this point” that the CIA was involved.

RFK Jr. also gestured to the leaders of the Warren Commission – the commission set up to investigate JFK’s assassination. One of the committee’s leaders was ex-CIA director Allen Dulles, who had notably been fired by JFK.

‘[Dulles] insinuated himself into the Warren Commission and essentially ran the Warren Commission and withheld this evidence from the Warren Commissioners. However, when Congress investigated the crime a decade later with far more evidence than the Warren Commission had at its disposal,” Kennedy said.

Congress discovered that, yes, it was a conspiracy. It was a conspiracy [and] several people were involved. And most of the people in that investigation believe it was the CIA that was behind it – because the evidence was overwhelming to them.”

The now presidential candidate recalled being in the East Room of the White House with family when his uncle’s body lay in the wake, when President Lyndon Johnson entered the room to inform them that Jack had killed Ruby Oswald.

Kennedy said his father — then the attorney general — had investigated Ruby and uncovered alleged mob ties, including to a mob leader he said was “recruited by the CIA in the [Fidel] Castro assassination plot.”

“So they were all in cahoots with the CIA,” he said.

He also claimed that on the afternoon JFK was killed, his father called a CIA desk clerk at the agency’s headquarters in Langley, Virginia to ask, “Did your people do this?”

“It was my father’s first instinct that the agency had killed his brother,” he said.

The CIA has repeatedly denied any involvement in JFK’s assassination. John McCone, CIA director when Kennedy was assassinated, testified before a House committee that Oswald was not a CIA agent and had never communicated with the agency—a claim corroborated by the CIA’s file on the shooter.

Since joining the fray, he has garnered a 20 percent share of the vote as Biden struggles to generate enthusiasm for announcing his second term.

At the start of the campaign tour, RFK Jr. discussed, among other things, the persistent theory that the CIA was involved in the 1963 assassination of his uncle

President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas in 1963 by Lee Harvey Oswald. A persistent conspiracy theory is that the Central Intelligence Agency was involved in his assassination.

Kennedy has also advanced the theory that the CIA may have been involved in the assassination of his own father, Robert F. Kennedy, who was fatally shot by Sirhan Sirhan in Los Angeles while campaigning for president in 1968.

RFK Jr. said the evidence of CIA involvement in his father’s death is “very compelling, but circumstantial.”

Since Kennedy announced his presidential nomination as a Democratic nominee last month, he has garnered a 20 percent share of the vote in recent polls as incumbent Joe Biden’s campaign gets off to a rocky start.

Kennedy declined to openly speculate on Biden’s mental fitness for office, but told Hannity he jumped into the race because he is dissatisfied with what Biden is “doing with this country.”

He specifically pointed to the president’s handling of the ongoing war in Ukraine, which he said should have been settled long ago.

The amount of U.S. dollars sent to Ukraine since the start of the conflict last year currently exceeds $130 billion, a figure that Kennedy says is far greater than the budgets of many of the U.S. alphabet agencies combined.

The nominee suggested that some of that money be spent on the United States instead, citing the fact that 57 percent of Americans cannot afford sudden $1,000 hardship costs.

Kennedy has also attracted a niche audience among conservatives for his vociferous skepticism about the COVID-19 vaccine, as well as his support for keeping biological men out of women’s sports.
