RFK Jr. Doesn’t Want the Truth About His Uncle’s Assassination

Many people want to know the full truth about the JFK assassination – but, per Col. Jessup, can they handle it?

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. faces an intriguing Senate fight to be confirmed as President-elect Donald Trump’s Health and Human Services secretary. His eccentric views on vaccines pose problems for some liberal Senators, while his Democrat-aligned views on abortion may prove difficult for certain Republicans to accept. MAGA seems to have missed that RFK Jr. is a standard-issue elite eco-liberal with oddball takes on public health and a few other issues.

I confess to possessing a sneaking admiration for RFK Jr., for all his strangeness. His endlessly messy personal life aside, he evinces genuine passion about his favorite causes and such enthusiasm, even if misguided, is a rare thing in our nation’s capital, where lobbyists and megadonors hold too much power over political discourse. Yes, RFK Jr. is an oddball, but at age nine he witnessed his uncle’s assassination, followed just five years later by the assassination of his father. I’m not sure how right in the head any of us would be after such an experience.

Nevertheless, RFK Jr. has failed his first political test regarding the incoming administration. He pushed to have his daughter-in-law, Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, installed as deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency. The 44-year-old managed RFK Jr.’s presidential campaign and wasn’t an entirely implausible suggestion to be the number two official at Langley, given her service with CIA for several years in her twenties. However, that history is why she won’t be the deputy director.
