RFK also makes the promise on his website: https://www.kennedy24.com/pardon_julian_assange_robert_f_ken...


RFK died in 1968, and doesn't seem to have a personal website. The website in question is his son's, whose public service record is somewhat less established.


RFK Jr is RFK's son, not his nephew. You'd think the name would give it away...


For some reason I thought he was a nephew. Fixed; the substance of the comment is unchanged.


The substance of your comment was performatively pretending that someone else was too dumb to know the difference between RFK and RFK Jr, when obviously they do. Literally nobody has ever confused that anti-vax moron for his famous father who ran for president and died over 50 years ago. You were play-acting as a virtuous corrector of "misinformation" as cover to try and derail a conversation into an unrelated political flame war. If you must stoop to that sort of thing, the least you can do is bother to get your facts right.
