US presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jnr tells Joe Rogan he takes ‘precautions’ to avoid CIA assassination
- Robert Kennedy Jnr is making a long shot bid to challenge US President Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination
- Kennedy, 69, is the son of slain presidential candidate Bobby Kennedy and nephew of assassinated President John F. Kennedy
US presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jnr told podcast host Joe Rogan he’s “aware” the CIA may kill him and lives accordingly.
Kennedy, the 69-year-old son of slain presidential candidate Bobby Kennedy and nephew of assassinated President John F. Kennedy, has been linked to numerous conspiracy theories over the years, including suspicions over the deaths of his famous family members.
The Harvard-educated environmental lawyer insists he doesn’t live in fear of being assassinated “at all”, but says it does affect how he conducts himself.
“I gotta be careful,” he said. “I’m not stupid about it and I take precautions.”
Despite his family’s formidable standing in Democratic Party politics, Kennedy Jnr’s candidacy is struggling to gain traction coming out of the gate. A Quinnipiac University Poll published Wednesday shows him trailing party front runner and sitting President Joe Biden by more than 50 points.
Neither Trump nor JFK Jnr, who died in a 1999 plane crash, appeared at that event.
