People Are Shocked By Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Bizarre New Confession
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. this week offered up a wild defense of his association with late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that probably didn’t help his campaign.
Kennedy has previously said he was on Epstein’s private plane twice.
In an interview on the “Flagrant” podcast released Wednesday, Kennedy admitted that Epstein was hardly the only notorious character he hung out with.
“I’m in New York for most of my life. You run into everybody in New York,” he said. “I mean, I knew Harvey Weinstein. I knew Roger Ailes. I knew ― O.J. Simpson came to my house. Bill Cosby came to my house.”
Kennedy, though, wasn’t bragging about knowing these individuals or trying to defend any of them.
“You don’t know these people are swamp creatures until all this stuff comes out,” he said.

In the full interview, Kennedy also spoke of being on Donald Trump’s plane ― and compared it to Epstein’s ― then offered details about his encounters with Epstein, who, he claimed, essentially admitted to financial crimes during their very first meeting.
“I did see creepiness immediately,” Kennedy said of Epstein.
Kennedy’s long list of dubious acquaintances earned him plenty of attention on social media:
Quite a guest list! https://t.co/jKGkNeu6PG

“Jason Voorhees came to my house. Emperor Palpatine hung out at my house. The Babadook was around a lot. I was pretty tight with that guy with the squid face from Pirates of the Caribbean. Anyway, I’m running for president…” https://t.co/sNxe6zHNRo

Lol. This is the precise opposite of "workshopped answer." You could hardly do worse if you tried. https://t.co/83iqdMU9ZU

"I hosted sexual predators in my house," isn't the flex you think it is. https://t.co/a3XQdRJt7f
