"RFK Jr. Campaign's Controversial Stance on Jan. 6 Rioters"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by NBC News

The campaign of independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. disowned a fundraising email that referred to Jan. 6 defendants as "activists" and called for the exoneration of Julian Assange, attributing the language to an "error" by a new marketing contractor. Kennedy has previously expressed support for pardoning Assange and Snowden if elected president, and has made controversial remarks about President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.
