'All of us are complicit': RFK Jr issued plea for President Biden to help ‘end the vitriol’, comparing Trump shooting to assassinations of JFK and Bobby Kennedy
Speaking to Fox News after the incident Robert F. Kennedy Jr called on President Joe Biden to address the nation alongside former President Trump in order to “change the tone” of the campaign. RFK said he hoped all Americans would take a step back after the shooting and realise “It's time to end the vitriol”.
“The anger from both sides, and from the media, and people pointing to other political candidates and saying they're going to be the end of the Republic, they're going to be the end of democracy. That kind of poison feeds into this. “When my uncle was killed, I was 10 years old, and the morning that he landed in Dallas, there were posters all over Dallas and a front page of a newspaper which had his picture on it, saying wanted dead or alive,” he said.
