Nuts And Clearly Disturbed: New RFK Jr. Spot Has Absolutely Bonkers Opening

Robert F. Kennedy Jr . spends the first minute and change of his new promotional video trashing an unexpected candidate: himself.

Kennedy reads critics slamming him as a crank and conspiracy theorist.

Much of the rest of the video is narrated by actor Woody Harrelson , who attempts to reintroduce the candidate by painting him as an environmentalist and outdoorsman ready to take on corporate interests. 

He was kinda like Erin Brockovich , Harrelson says, referring to the environmental activist. But a Kennedy. 

The New York Times reported that links to Kennedys promotional video were initially blocked by Facebook and Instagram, leading to accusations of censorship. Meta, which owns both social media platforms, told the newspaper it was a mistake that has been corrected.
