During his interview with Carlson, RFK Jr. claimed that the CIA was behind the assassination of his uncle, former President John F. Kennedy, and that the American people are being “lied to” about the current war between Russia and Ukraine.
RFK Jr. was nine years old when his uncle was assassinated on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas. The candidate, who is now 69 years old, told Carlson that the people who worked at the CIA station in Miami were the people who were involved in his uncle’s murder.
The presidential candidate theorized that the people at the CIA agency had associations with the communist country Cuba, and were angry at former President Kennedy over his handling of the Bay of Pigs and for developing a friendship with a former Soviet Union leader following the Cuban Missile Crisis at the time.
Former President Kennedy’s conflict with the CIA began after the failed Bay of Pigs invasion after he refused to comply with the CIA’s request to send U.S. troops to Cuba. He then cracked down on CIA operations off the coast of Miami and vowed to “splinter the CIA in a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds.”
RFK Jr. told Carlson that Lee Harvey Oswald, the alleged assassin of the former president, was involved with two individuals with CIA connections.
“The specific people who were involved in it were almost all associated with a Miami station, which was the largest CIA station at the time. It was basically, it was the Cuban station. And the people who were involved in that station were people like Bill Harvey and David Atlee Phillips who were clearly involved in my uncle’s assassination. He was, by all evidence, Lee Harvey Oswald’s handler at the CIA,” RFK Jr. said.
In regard to the current war between Ukraine and Russia, RFK Jr described the situation as something out of a comic book.
“When it come to the Ukraine War, I mean we’re being lied to about it,” he said. “You know, we had this comic book depiction, which we see in on war, there’s a bad guy who’s like, you know, unspeakably evil, who’s planning world conquest or a terrorist attack on America and we have to be the good guys going in and stopping. And Ukraine, the background of the Ukraine War is much more complex than that. You know, the U.S. has been involved in, particularly the neocons in the White House … since 2001, have been talking about putting NATO in Ukraine.”
The presidential candidate criticized the U.S. government’s continued spending on the Ukraine war and the media’s coverage of it. He also branded current President Joe Biden as a pro-war president who has supported the U.S. entering previous wars.
