Former President Donald Trump has committed to establishing a commission focused on assassination attempts, which will include the release of remaining documents pertaining to the assassination of John F. Kennedy in November 1963. This announcement came shortly after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. endorsed him at a rally in Glendale, Arizona. RFK Jr., who transitioned from a Democrat to an Independent, recently concluded his presidential campaign to support the 45th president.
It is noteworthy that Kennedy’s father, Robert F. Kennedy Sr., who was JFK’s brother, was also assassinated while campaigning for the presidency on June 5, 1968, at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California. JFK himself was assassinated in Dallas on November 22, 1963.
During his rally speech, Trump referenced the assassination attempt, “They will also conduct a rigorous review of the attack last month,” Trump noted, as reported by the New York Post. “But I tell you, I have never had more people ask me, ‘Please, sir, release the documents on the Kennedy assassination,’ and we’re going to do that.”
rump also reiterated his pledge to establish a panel of “top experts working with Bobby” that would investigate the cause of a “decades-long increase in chronic health problems and childhood diseases.”
“We want every child in America to grow up and to live a long and healthy life,” the GOP nominee declared.
During the rally held at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Trump, aged 78, lauded the 70-year-old heir of the Kennedy political legacy, referring to him as an “incredible champion” of American values. Trump characterized Kennedy as a “highly respected” individual and a “great person” prior to unveiling him as a surprise guest.
“Bobby! Bobby! Bobby!” Trump supporters in the packed arena chanted.
“For the past 16 months, Bobby has run an extraordinary campaign,” Trump said. “I know because he went after me a couple of times — I didn’t like it.”
“His candidacy has inspired millions and millions of Americans, raised critical issues that have been too long ignored in this country and brought together people from across the political spectrum in a positive campaign grounded in the American values of his father, Robert Kennedy, a great man, and his uncle, President John F. Kennedy,” the former president added. “And I know that they are looking down right now, and they are very, very proud of Bobby. I’m proud of Bobby.”
“One of the issues that he talked about was having safe food and ending the chronic disease epidemic,” the Democrat-turned-independent told the crowd.
Kennedy further stated that during his early discussions with Trump, following the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania on July 13, they focused on “the values and the issues” they have in common, rather than the points of disagreement between them.
“Don’t you want healthy children? And don’t you want the chemicals out of our food? And don’t you want the regulatory agencies to be free from corporate corruption? And that’s what President Trump told me that he wanted,” Kennedy said.
“Don’t you want a president that’s going to make America healthy again?” he asked the roaring crowd.
