RFK Jr. Says Donald Trump Changed the Course of His Life, Credits Charlie Kirk
11th September 2026
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, credited Charlie Kirk for bringing him and President Donald Trump together and for making the Make America Healthy Again agenda possible.
“Charlie played a critical and indispensable role in bringing me and President Trump together,” he said on Thursday at the 2026 Republican National Committee’s Midterm Convention. “In fact, it was something that he was trying to do for almost a year. … And today, on the first anniversary of his assassination, I can’t stand here without thinking about him.”
Kennedy reflected on the first time he met Trump at an event with Kirk, where they shook hands and promised to make America healthy again.
“Some of my Democratic friends told me that I was a fool for trusting Trump, and so I want to make the record clear right now: President Trump has kept every single promise that he can make without exception,” he said.
