ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.

The man who assassinated presidential candidate Robert F.

Sirhan Sirhan, who assassinated presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy in 1968, is asking a judge on Wednesday to free him from prison by reversing California Gov. Gavin Newsom's denial of his parole earlier this year. Sirhan shot Kennedy moments after the U.S. senator from New York claimed victory in California’s pivotal Democratic presidential primary. Newsom said in January that Sirhan remains a threat to the public and hasn’t taken responsibility for a crime that changed American history.

California Rep. Mike Garcia and others drawing analogies to Hitler cheapen history and violate the true victims.

Kennedy is the son of U.S. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and a nephew of President John F. Kennedy, and often uses his platform to spread misinformation about vaccines and anti-vaccine rhetoric.

“Shang-Chi” star Simu Liu tweeted his support for COVID-19 vaccines hours after “Ant-Man” actor Evangeline Lilly advocated for “bodily sovereignty” against vaccine mandates. Lilly took to Instagram yesterday to post about her attendance of an anti-vaccination rally in Washington D.C., organized by a nonprofit belonging to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who triggered widespread controversy for saying people today have less freedom than Anne Frank. “I was in DC this weekend to support bodily sovereignty while Canadian truckers were rallying for their cross-country, peaceful convoy in support of the same thing,” Lilly captioned her post.

Kennedy Jr., the world’s leading (translation: most dangerous) anti-vax conspiracy theorist, was one of many kooky speakers railing against COVID vaccines and mandates at a “Defeat the Mandates” rally in Washington, D.C.“Even in Hitler’s Germany, you could cross the Alps into Switzerland, you can hide in the attic like Anne Frank did,” said Kennedy Jr. “Today the mechanisms are being put in place that will make it so none of us can run, none of u

The decision comes more than a half-century after the 1968 slaying left a deep wound during one of America's darkest times.

California’s governor has rejected releasing Robert F.

California’s governor must soon decide whether to free one of America’s most notorious assassins.

Police in Italy are conducting searches against 17 anti-vaccine activists who were purportedly affiliated with a Telegram chat that espoused violence against government, medical and media figures for their perceived support of COVID-19 restrictions.

An investigation by The Associated Press has found that a vocal group of chiropractors has become an influential force in stirring up anti-vaccine misinformation during the pandemic.

Video-sharing tech platform YouTube on Wednesday announced immediate bans on false claims that vaccines are dangerous and cause health issues like autism, cancer or infertility.

Ethel Kennedy says Sirhan Sirhan should not be released from prison, further roiling a family divide over whether the man convicted of killing her husband in 1968 should be freed on parole.

The majority of false claims about COVID vaccines on social media trace back to just a handful of influential figures. So why don't the companies just shut them down?

Michael Skakel, right, appears for his hearing at Stamford Superior Court, with his attorney Stephan Seeger, Friday, Oct. 30, 2020, in Stamford, Conn. A Connecticut prosecutor says Kennedy cousin Michael Skakel will not face a second trial in the 1975 murder of teenager Martha Moxley in Greenwich. Skakel, a nephew of Robert F. Kennedy's widow, Ethel Kennedy, did not speak during the hearing or outside the court. On the night of the killing, Martha Moxley, 15, and other teens in Greenwich's Belle Haven neighborhood were out doing pre-Halloween pranks, police said. At the 2002 trial, prosecutors presented several witnesses who said they heard Skakel confess or make incriminating statements. One of those witnesses, Gregory Coleman, died from heroin use by the time Skakel’s trial began.

OAKLAND, Calif. – Facebook says it will ban ads on its platform that discourage vaccinations — with an exception carved out for advocacy ads about government vaccine policies. The company already bans ads about vaccine “hoaxes," such as the false idea that vaccinations cause autism. The latest policy expands the ban to ads that discourage vaccines for any reason. And unpaid posts by people or groups that discourage vaccinations will also still be allowed — the new policy only includes paid advertisements. “Facebook by banning anti-vaccine ads is probably not banning more than half of the ads,” he said.

Kennedy Jr., the brother of McKean's mother, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, posted images on Instagram of the prayer service, which he said was led by Timothy Shriver, a cousin. Kennedy Jr. said the service was attended by "Kennedy / Shriver / Lawford / McKelvey/ Allen / Schlossberg/ Schwarzenegger / Cuomo cousins." On Friday, Maeve's mother, former Maryland Lieutenant Governor Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, said the search had "turned from rescue to recovery."
