  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spoke at the 2026 Republican convention, criticizing the modern Democratic Party and urging Americans to elect a Republican Congress, claiming his uncle and father would not recognize today's Democrats.
  • CNN fact checker Daniel Dale identified nearly six falsehoods in Kennedy's speech, including incorrect claims about Democrats canceling the 2024 convention, closing churches during the pandemic, and ending wars, calling it one of the most falsehood-filled speeches of the day.
