RFK Jr.: Americans Now Believe the Government Is Usually Lying to Us

EXCERPT:

KENNEDY JR.: “And then when my uncle was killed in 1963, the investigation, the Warren Commission came out and said it was a lone gunman. 60% of the Americans thought the government was lying again. And in 1973, the Pentagon papers released, 26 volumes, that showed that hundreds of government officials have been systematically lying to us, and Americans suddenly said, 'Oh my God,' the majority of Americans, 'the American government, a democracy, lies to its people.' And today, we all know that every time we see a government official on TV, whether it's a president, a vice president or anybody else, our assumption is, 'Isn't it that they are lying to us?' And if that is not your assumption, then you are not paying attention.”
