Former chief Trump strategist Steve Bannon spent "months" encouraging anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to run against President Joe Biden in the 2024 election, according to a report from CBS News.

People familiar with the matter told the outlet that Bannon hoped Kennedy could serve as a "useful chaos agent" in the election while also spreading "anti-vaccine sentiment around the country," according to CBS News' Robert Costa.

Note from OP: Tagging this as a rumor due to incomplete sourcing, but the article has a good breakdown on RFK's campaign and his anti-vax efforts.

@Arotrios it’s not a rumor. There is a picture of RFK jr with Brannon, Stone and Flynn which proves the point
