This is the best summary I could come up with:
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posted on social media Friday that it's "hard to tell what is a conspiracy theory and what isn’t" when it comes to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
He followed that post a short time later with another saying that he was referring to an almost two-week old segment on CBS's "60 Minutes" about possible Saudi involvement in the 2001 terror attacks on the United States.
In a third post about an hour later, he wrote "speculation about what our government may be covering up is rife outside the mainstream of our political culture" and the way to restore trust "is through honesty and transparency.
The collapse has been frequently cited by conspiracy theorists who claim it was a controlled demolition or some kind of inside job.
Kennedy, who has also blamed the CIA for killing his father and uncle, previously appeared as a guest on conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' 'Infowars' show.
In 2022, former President Donald Trump cast doubt on any connection between Saudi Arabia and the 9/11 terrorist attacks when he defended hosting a Saudi-funded tournament at his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey.
