RFK Jr says CIA killed his uncle, President JFK

Kennedy Jr., who announced in April that he was challenging Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination for president in 2024, said, "There is overwhelming evidence that the CIA was involved in his murder. I think it’s beyond a reasonable doubt at this point."

"I'll tell you the book that probably distilled millions of documents of evidence, including confessions of people who are involved in the crime and the 60-year cover-up, the best kind of distillation of that is a book called JFK and the Unspeakable by Jim Douglas," Kennedy Jr. said and later added that he has read "100 books on the subject."

Kennedy Jr. said, "The evidence is overwhelming that the CIA was involved in the murder, and in the cover-up."

President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas. He was riding in a motorcade when shots rang out and struck the president. A report by the Warren Commission later stated that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing JFK.

Less than 48 hours after the arrest of Oswald, he was assassinated by Jack Ruby.

In a December episode of Tucker Carlson Tonight, the host dove into the conspiracy theory that the CIA was involved in JFK's assassination.

Carlson pointed out that the psychiatrist who visited Ruby while he was in holding and deemed him insane, Louis Jolyon West, was working for the CIA. Carlson also mentioned that the House of Representatives "impaneled a special committee to reinvestigate the JFK assassination" in 1976 and came to the conclusion "Jack Kennedy was almost certainly murdered as the result of a conspiracy."

Carlson claimed the CIA was the "obvious suspect."

"In 1992, Congress passed the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act, that act mandated full disclosure of all documents by 2017, 54 years after JFK was killed," Carlson said. "The last administration promised to comply fully with that law. But under intense pressure from CIA director Mike Pompeo withheld, in the end, 1000s of pages of CIA documents. Today, this afternoon, the Biden administration did exactly the same thing."

Carlson later said he asked a source within the CIA and they told him that the CIA did "have a hand in the murder of John F. Kennedy."
