The video, called “Who Is Bobby Kennedy” and narrated by actor Woody Harrelson, is a 30-minute dive into Kennedy’s life, famed family, and the media’s “crank” perception of him. It highlights Kennedy’s background as an environmental lawyer, and his fear of a “rushed” coronavirus vaccine along with scepticism around the effectiveness of pandemic-era lockdowns.

Kennedy, who has been banned in the past from Alphabet Inc’s YouTube and Meta’s Instagram for spreading misinformation about vaccines, as well as about the COVID-19 pandemic, rejects the anti-vaccine label, saying vaccines should have more rigorous testing.

A post from Kennedy on Facebook in which he shares the video has about 10,000 “likes.” The same post on social media platform X has about 84,000 “likes.”

Kennedy, who is challenging Republican former President Donald Trump and Democratic President Joe Biden for the White House in November, could pick up 8 per cent of voters nationwide, a Reuters/Ipsos poll in March showed.
