Democratic presidential nominee Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said he “has to be careful” that the CIA doesn’t take him out.
Kennedy told podcast host and comedian Joe Rogan that he believes he would be killed by the CIA if elected president — as he claimed the agency was involved in the assassination of his uncle, the late President John F. Kennedy.
“I have to be careful,” Kennedy said. “I’m aware of that, you know, I’m aware of that danger. I’m not afraid of it at all.”

“But I’m not stupid about it and I take precautions,” he added.
Kennedy said the military, the intelligence community and his uncle were “at war” with each other during JFK’s presidency and that the two entities “tried to trick” the late president into sending troops to various countries, including Cuba and Vietnam.
The Democratic presidential nominee added that his uncle was so fed up with the CIA that he wanted to “crush” the agency and “scatter it to the wind.”
The CIA did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Kennedy’s comments come as he maintains a distant second place among Democrats but has double-digit support against President Biden in several polls.

Biden looks set to win his nomination, especially since the Democratic National Committee (DNC) has said it will not hold primary debates — which is common practice for sitting presidents running for re-election.
But Kennedy’s consistent polling and growing support could inspire an outside challenger who could siphon votes from Biden.
