evidence: A running list of RFK Jr.'s controversies [...] In May 2019, members of now-Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s own family publicly denounced their brother and uncle for his vocal mistrust of vaccines, a stance they described as having "heartbreaking consequences." "We love Bobby," the trio of relatives wrote in an op-ed for Politico magazine, and "we stand behind him in his ongoing fight to protect our environment." But he "has helped to spread dangerous misinformation over social media and is complicit in sowing distrust of the science behind vaccines." That said, anti-vax rhetoric is only one piece of RFK Jr.'s increasingly controversial puzzle, in spite of which he has managed to launch a so far somewhat decently successful campaign for the White House (though things may be starting to sour). Here's a look at some of the other comments and conspiracy theories that have landed the environmental lawyer in hot water over the years. [...] Even in 2023, RFK Jr. has continued to promote the unfounded theory that the CIA killed his uncle, former President John F. Kennedy. As recently as May, Kennedy alleged during an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity that former CIA director Allen W. Dulles helped cover up the agency's involvement in JFK's assassination while simultaneously serving on the commission helmed to investigate it. That same probe, known as the Warren Commission, ultimately determined that while some sort of conspiracy likely played a part in Kennedy's death, the CIA was not involved.
