White House contender Robert Kennedy Jr makes bombshell accusation and pushes conspiracy theory about uncle JFK’s death
ROBERT F. Kennedy Jr. has accused the CIA of playing a role in the assassination of his uncle, former President John F. Kennedy.
The 2024 Democratic presidential candidate made some egregious claims against one of the American government’s top agencies during a radio show on Sunday.
“There is overwhelming evidence that the CIA was involved in his murder,” Kennedy Jr., 69, said of his late uncle’s death during an interview with John Catsimatidis on WABC 770 AM’s Cats Roundtable.
“I think it’s beyond a reasonable doubt at this point.”
JFK‘s assassination has sparked many conspiracy theories over the past few decades.
But, the United States government insists that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, fatally shooting the 35th president in November 1963 while his motorcade passed through Dallas, Texas.
However, Robert doesn’t seem convinced of the government’s findings in its official investigation known as the Warren Commission Report, which was released in September 1964.
“The evidence is overwhelming that the CIA was involved in the murder, and in the cover-up,” Kennedy Jr. said on the radio show.
He called denials of the CIA’s alleged role in JFK’s assassination as a “60 year cover-up.”
Kennedy Jr. said James Douglas’ book JFK and the Unspeakable had compiled the most evidence on this theory.
However, the Warren Commission Report found that there was no credible evidence that Oswald was a part of a conspiracy to assassinate JFK.
An article by Max Holland on the CIA website calls the claims of the agency’s invovlement in the assassination a “lie.”
The U.S. Sun approached the CIA for comment.
