Very misleading headline. It is easy to interpret that as he won’t take a side between Al Qaeda and the US. Even the first tweet makes it clear he’s talking about the “debate” about who was responsible. The later clarifying tweet makes even the conspiracy angle more clear.
I don’t like stupid conspiracy theories, and the first tweet still makes him look bad. But the headline author had to see how the ambiguity would be interpreted.
For the record, I dislike RFK, Jr. and his stance on vaccines immensely.
The headline is about public dissent. Public dissent is unusual under authoritarian regimes, so it makes the news.
It would be like criticisms of Putin despite him winning 87% of the vote in the last election.
