RFK Jr. Reveals Who He Believes ‘Actually Murdered’ His Father — Despite No Conviction

The assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, and the subsequent killing of his brother, Robert F. Kennedy, have long been subjects of conspiracy theories. Robert F. Kennedy, a former Attorney General and prominent Democrat, was assassinated on June 5, 1968, with Sirhan Sirhan convicted for the crime.

However, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., son of the late senator, has recently challenged the official account, suggesting Sirhan was not the true killer. In an appearance on Club Random Podcast hosted by Bill Maher, RFK Jr. shared his controversial perspective, as reported by Men’s Journal. Maher began the interview by discussing RFK Jr.’s presidential campaign and his thoughts on current issues, including his stance on COVID-19 vaccines.

The conversation eventually turned to the events of June 5, 1968, when RFK Jr. explained his belief that while Sirhan was involved, he was not the one who fatally shot his father. “His story is that he has no memory of it, and stuck with that story for 60 years,” RFK Jr. said, referring to Sirhan’s long-held confession. He then described his own investigation into the case.

“But when I sat down and read the autopsy report, it became clear to me, as it would to anybody who read that report, that Sirhan could not have killed my father—which is what Thomas Noguchi, the most important coroner probably in American history, concluded and wrote in his autobiography.” RFK Jr. recounted the events of the assassination at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, emphasizing key details that led him to question the official narrative.

“Sirhan fired two shots at my father from five feet away. There was absolute mayhem in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel… He walked off the stage and took an unexpected route through the kitchen. Waiting in the kitchen in an ambush was Sirhan Sirhan, who fired two shots as my father approached… The other shot went past my father’s ear and hit a wooden door jamb behind him. Sirhan was then grabbed by six men in a dog pile.

He fired six more shots, in the opposite direction from where my father was.” Based on his analysis, RFK Jr. believes Sirhan was a distraction and that another individual was responsible for the fatal shots. He named Eugene Thane Cesar, a security guard allegedly present at the scene, as the real shooter. RFK Jr. claimed Cesar, who was reportedly standing behind his father, was a CIA operative and an outspoken critic of the Kennedys. “He was holding my father’s arm. He drew his gun, and my father was shot four times from behind,” RFK Jr. stated.

According to RFK Jr., Cesar’s position and actions during the shooting align with the autopsy findings that Noguchi outlined, suggesting the shots came from behind at close range. He theorizes that Cesar, using Sirhan as a scapegoat, orchestrated the assassination.

RFK Jr.’s remarks add to the long-standing debate and skepticism surrounding the assassination of his father, a tragedy that, like his uncle’s, has left unanswered questions and fueled various conspiracy theories for decades. Whether his claims will influence any reexamination of the case remains uncertain, but RFK Jr. continues to push for what he believes is the truth.
