Robert Kennedy Jr., who’s running for president as a Democrat, revealed his father’s “first instinct” about who was responsible for his uncle’s assassination.
After hearing the news, former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy called a CIA desk officer, RFK Jr. revealed.
“My father said to him, ‘Did your people do this?’” he recalled on Fox News Monday night.
“His next call was to [Enrique Ruiz-Williams], who was one of the Cuban Bay of Pigs leaders who had remained very, very close to our family and to my father,” Kennedy Jr. continued. “My father asked him the same question.”
His father then brought John McCone, head of the CIA at the time, over to his house.
“When I came home [from] Sidwell Friends School, my father was walking in the yard with John McCone, and my father was posing the same question to him, ‘Was it our people who did this to my brother?’” he said. “It was my father’s first instinct that the agency had killed his brother.”
