During an interview on "Jesse Watters Primetime," Kennedy was questioned about his conspiratorial views on vaccines, his previous claims about the CIA's involvement in the assassination of his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, and his challenge to President Biden for the Democratic nomination in 2024. The discussion also touched on Kennedy's book, "The Real Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, Big Pharma and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health."
Host Jesse Watters asked Kennedy why he referred to Fauci as "the devil" and whether he still intended to prosecute Fauci if he or the National Institutes of Health were implicated in the Wuhan lab leak. Kennedy responded, "If there were crimes that he committed, of course, I would tell the attorney general to prosecute him, not hold off."
