Politico reports:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Sunday defended his family’s role in authorizing government surveillance of Martin Luther King, Jr., calling it a necessary step amid the political tensions of the Civil Rights era. Kennedy’s provocative comments came as he was on a campaign trip to Atlanta on the eve of the Martin Luther King., Jr., holiday. “My father gave permission to Hoover to wiretap them so he could prove that his suspicions about King were either right or wrong,” he said.

By defending his family’s participation in what is widely considered a shameful episode in presidential history, Kennedy may complicate his efforts to present himself to the electorate as a political truth teller who stands up for marginalized constituencies. On Sunday, Kennedy was on the campaign trail in Atlanta with Angela Stanton-King, a former Republican congressional candidate and Donald Trump supporter who now works for Kennedy’s campaign.
