"SNIP.........

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. publicly apologized to family members late last night after a super PAC supporting his presidential campaign aired a $7 million Super Bowl spot that appropriated a famed 1960 ad aired by uncle John F. Kennedy.

Said Kennedy: “Federal rules prohibit Superpacs from consulting with me or my staff. I send you and your family my sincerest apologies. God bless you.”

..........SNIP"

Applegrove:

$7 million Super pack money for a superbowl ad is so messed up. That money could get healthcare for over a thousand people with little means. Not even mentioning how it could skew election. Good thing many antivaccers are on the right since Covid.

1. he is just trying to stop them from

making a pro Biden ad. I hope the Kennedy family makes a huge Biden ad. The apology might stop that from happening.

3. Connecting RFK Jr. to JFK is beyond offensive.

5. Did Robert Kennedy jr, approve this message at the end?

I saw that monstrosity of an ad but can’t recall if he approved the message, and I don’t care to see it again.

7. It said explicitly that he didn't...

I take that to mean there was a wink somewhere in the planning.

10. No

It was a PAC funded add, he is not allowed to endorse their messages or coordinate their activities on his behalf in any way under federal election law.
