PHILADELPHIA — Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Democratic presidential candidate known for promoting anti-vaccine conspiracy theories, will no longer speak at this week’s Moms for Liberty summit in Philadelphia.
The campaign for Kennedy, who had been announced as a speaker a week earlier, “told us his schedule changed and he can no longer speak to our summit,” Moms for Liberty cofounder Tiffany Justice said Tuesday. She noted that the group’s website had been updated with the change.
Kennedy would have joined a slate of Republican presidential contenders speaking at the summit, which begins Thursday night. Former president Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis are both scheduled to speak Friday, along with former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley. Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy is expected to speak Saturday.
