RFK Jr. Offers Up 'My Take On 9/11' — And Oof

This isn’t the first time that the independent presidential candidate has voiced skepticism around the 2001 terrorist attacks.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wrapped up what’s been a tumultuous week for his presidential campaign by offering an eyebrow-raising statement on conspiracy theories surrounding the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

The independent candidate said Friday on X, formerly Twitter, that he “won’t take sides on 9/11” if he’s elected to the White House.

Instead, he pledged to “usher in a new era of transparency” around the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and on the Pentagon outside Washington, D.C., that killed nearly 3,000 people.

“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, suggesting that he hopes to “open the files” related to the attacks.

In a pair of follow-up posts, Kennedy explained that he was referring to a recent “60 Minutes” segment that probed “possible Saudi involvement in 9/11, sparking all kinds of speculation on X.”
