I mean, at this point, is the worm a more viable candidate for President than RFK?

By claiming to not take a side, he took a side.

Listen folks, 9/11 was 👐 terrible, okay? It was terrible… But the woke dems, 🤷‍♂️, they spin it like it was all about the US and the Saudis, 🙄 something to do with oil, who knows? You wanna hear the real story? 🤨

There were some good folks 👐 on both sides 👐, believe me. Maybe we were just too free for them, I don’t know 🤷‍♂️

And these woke politicians, they certainly didn’t help, that’s for sure 😏

Honestly, people 👐, there was a lot of good on both sides that nobody talks about.

“My take on 9/11: It’s hard to tell what is a conspiracy theory and what isn’t. But conspiracy theories flourish when the government routinely lies to the public,” Kennedy wrote on Friday in a post on X in reference to the deadliest terrorist attack ever aimed at the US. “As president I won’t take sides on 9/11 or any of the other debates.

“But I can promise … that I will open the files and usher in a new era of transparency.”

I don’t know if it would be more or less crazy if he latched onto JFK conspiracies instead.

I’m almost 100% certain he’s hard into the JFK conspiracies. NPR did an interview with him with in the last couple years and I’m pretty sure he said he had proof the CIA killed his uncle because he didn’t provide air support for the bay of pigs invasion.

Way less. JFK’s assassination is actually wild enough at face value that to not think something conspiratorial happened would be ridiculous. All attempts at explanation have been pretty poor. Now anyone who claims they know what happened is a conspiracy theorist. That’s also true lol.

9/11 the facts are pretty clear cut overall.

Ehh the JFK assassination is pretty easy to take at face value, the only weird part to me is Jack Ruby going after Lee Harvey Oswald but after watching the trump cult for the last 8 years someone being devoted enough to a president to go after their killer is an easy follow.

I think it’s most likely it was a weird but reasonable scenario ultimately but I get why people don’t I guess is more my point.

When one side is obviously right and the other side is obviously crazy…. “Not taking sides” says the crazy side has the same merit as the obviously correct side.

He is absolutely taking a side.
