Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had an amazing opportunity to possibly compete as an independent candidate in the 2024 election.
He may have just ended that opportunity with an admission that surprised everyone.
When the Jeffrey Epstein story first broke, everyone knew that some very influential people would get caught up in the scandal.
He was a well-connected man who had relationships with some of the country's most influential and powerful people.
He socialized with the likes of Donald Trump, was buddies with the Clintons, and had deep financial ties to many other politicians as well as Hollywood.
When the scandal broke regarding the flights on his private plane and the happenings on his island, everyone was waiting for the other shoe to drop, but his death all but ensured the worst of it would never get out.
Even so, being attached to Epstein in any way in your past can be career-ending, and that is what RFK Jr. just admitted to.
RFK Jr. was on Fox News this week, and in an effort to be transparent, he admitted that he had traveled with Epstein on his plane, as well as his wife having "some kind of relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell."
He stated that he flew twice on the jet about 30 years ago, saying that nobody knew what Epstein was up to at the time.
Kennedy went on to say that we need all records on the matter to be released, stating:
"And I agree with you that all of this information should be released, and we should get real answers on what happened to Jeffrey Epstein and any of the high-level political people that he was involved with, all of that should be open to the public.
"It should absolutely be transparent, and I don't see why any of those records would have any redactions in them."
I have to say, RFK Jr. openly admitting this was a bit of a shock because it could hurt his campaign.
It does not really matter how he justified the travel because Epstein's name is taboo for the American people.
While he contends nobody knew what Epstein was up to back then, that is not necessarily true. It was a different time when social media was not so prevalent, but I have seen plenty of reports of Epstein's behavior being one of the best-kept secrets among the elite.
This is largely a Democrat issue, which Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) rehashed a few days ago when she claimed that Senator Durbin (D-IL) blocked her request for records…
.@SenatorDurbin BLOCKED my request to subpoena Jeffrey Epstein’s flight logs.
What are Democrats trying to hide?

I think most of us would agree that where there is smoke, there is fire, and I don't see people buying into the idea that RFK Jr.'s relationship with Epstein was as simple as he was making it out to be.
This is someone who, in the perfect political storm, could have made a serious run at the White House in 2024 as an independent, but now he would seem to be just another candidate with baggage that nobody wants to see or hear about.
I think he may have inadvertently just torpedoed his own campaign.
