Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apologized to Donald Trump after a leaked phone call between the two men surfaced on social media. In the call, the two discussed the recent assassination attempt against Trump, the dangers of childhood vaccinations, and the tough gun used in the shooting.
Kennedy expressed regret for the leaked video, which captured Trump expressing concerns about the vaccine system and suggesting small doses for babies. Trump also mentioned the size of vaccines being administered to infants, raising questions about their impact.
In addition to the vaccine discussion, Trump and Kennedy talked about the assassination attempt, with Trump describing the bullet as sounding like “the world’s largest mosquito” and mentioning a call from President Joe Biden. Kennedy’s son initially posted the video but later deleted it, sparking debates about the intention behind the leak.
Some speculate that Kennedy may have wanted the video to be public, pointing to his use of speakerphone as evidence. However, Kennedy’s fear of phone signals causing tumors in his head could explain his phone-handling behavior.
The leaked conversation has raised concerns among Democrats, who believe Kennedy’s collaboration with Trump could be aimed at helping the former president win the election. Despite meeting with Trump and being promoted by Steve Bannon, Kennedy maintains that he will not drop out of the race or endorse Trump. Polling data shows Trump leading Biden, with Kennedy polling at a consistent 9%.
Both Kennedy’s and Trump’s campaigns have not responded to inquiries about the leaked video. The implications of the leaked conversation and Kennedy’s political stance continue to fuel speculation about the upcoming election.
