Donald Trump said Friday that former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a vaccine skeptic and follower of conspiracy theories, would occupy an ‘important role’ in health if he won the election. ‘He knows the subject better than anyone.’
The Republican candidate had already assured Thursday that Robert F. Kennedy Jr would ‘work on women’s health’. During his term as president, Donald Trump appointed three justices to the United States Supreme Court, who then helped end the federal guarantee of the right to abortion in 2022.
RFK Jr, 70, an environmental lawyer, is known for his controversial positions and the dissemination of conspiracy theories. Son of Robert F. Kennedy, he belongs to the famous American dynasty, a large part of which rejects him.
SARS-CoV-2 ‘ethnically targeted’
A one-time independent presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy Jr withdrew from the race for the White House at the end of August and supported Donald Trump.
He “has opinions with which I completely agree and have done so for a long time,” said the latter without answering questions from journalists about the vaccine-skeptical positions of his ally.
RFK Jr notably called Covid-19 vaccines ‘the deadliest ever made’ and suggested that the virus was ‘ethnically targeted’ to harm black and white people while sparing ‘Ashkenazim and the Chinese’.
