Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says he 'won't take sides on 9/11'
The independent candidate made the remark in a post on social media, and said later that he was referring to "possible Saudi involvement" in the terror attack.
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posted on social media Friday that it's "hard to tell what is a conspiracy theory and what isn’t" when it comes to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
"As President I won’t take sides on 9/11 or any of the other debates. But I can promise is that I will open the files and usher in a new era of transparency," Kennedy said in a post on X. He followed that post a short time later with another saying that he was referring to an almost two-week old segment on CBS's "60 Minutes" about possible Saudi involvement in the 2001 terror attacks on the United States.
The segment, Kennedy wrote, was "sparking all kinds of speculation on X."
In a third post about an hour later, he wrote "speculation about what our government may be covering up is rife outside the mainstream of our political culture" and the way to restore trust "is through honesty and transparency. That is my promise, and that is what will resolve any questions about 9/11, [unidentified aerial phenomena] and other contentious topics. I am personally agnostic on those issues."
Kennedy's campaign did not comment on the "sides" he was referring to in his tweet, or what other "debates" he was referring to, beyond pointing to his post on the "60 Minutes" report.
