🧵 THREAD: @RobertKennedyJr Identifies “The Real Shooter” Behind His Father’s Death
Just over fifty-five years ago, on June 5, 1968, Senator Robert F. Kennedy was gunned down in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, shortly after triumphing in the California and South Dakota Presidential primaries.
Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker discusses the assassination of their father, Robert Kennedy, and their belief that Sirhan Sirhan was not the true killer. They mention Paul Schrade, a close friend of their father who was also shot that day, and how he convinced them to read the autopsy report. According to the report, Sirhan fired two shots at their father, but the fatal shots came from behind. The speaker believes that Eugene Dan Sazer, a security guard and CIA operative, was the real shooter. They emphasize the need for further investigation into the case.
Speaker 0: When I was older, I researched it. Somebody gave me a book called The Unspeakable, and I read it in the whole story. That made sense, but I still believe my father had been killed by a sir an sir an sir and confessed to the murder. He plead guilty, and, you know, his his story is that he has no memory of it, and and he's stuck with that story for 60 years. So, but Paul, the man who was there was a man standing, one of my father's best friends, was standing beside him when my father was shot, and his name is Paul Schrade.
He was the deputy director of the United Auto Workers, and he's the guy who recruited Cesar Chavez to the labor movement, to the United Farm Workers, and then introduced my father to Cesar Chavez, which was one of the most important relationships that my father had. And the 1st shot that Saran fired hit Paul in the head. Paul survived, and he just died, less than a year ago. And he spent the last 20 years of his life trying to get his turn out of jail because he did not believe that the surrendering my father, and I just sort of dismissed what over years I'd hear that he was that Al Lowenstein, who you may remember, was trying to get my father Suranne out because Al Lowenstein was a congressman, a great friend of my father's, I started the Doug Johnson movement. He was later assassinated to himself.
He became a congressman, was killed, but he fought for many years to get Sirhan out because and get it the the case reopened because he did not believe that my father was killed by Sirhan, but I never looked into any details. I just assumed there there were 77 eyewitnesses. Sirhan killed Robert Kennedy.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 0: And then Paul Schrader made me come over to his house one day and read the autopsy report. How did he make me? He told me you have to do this, and because he was such a close friend to my father's and because he himself had been shot. You know? I felt like I couldn't say no to him.
When I sat down and read the autopsy report, it became clear to me as it would to anybody who read that report that Suriname could not have killed my father, which is what Thomas Noguchi, the coroner, the most important coroner probably in American history concluded also and said in his autobiography. And here's the here's what happened, the short story. Sirhan fired 2 shots at my father. He was 5 feet away. There was, as I said, many, many there was a absolute mayhem in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel.
My father just won the primary. He said from this age, and now it's on to Chicago, which is where the convention was. Then he walks off the stage, and he went into a route that was not expected. He was led into a route through the kitchen, which he was not supposed to go to. And waiting in the kitchen in an ambush with Suran Suran, neck standing in front of a steam table.
And as my father approached the steam table, Suran fired at him 2 shots. 1 of those hit Paul Schrade. The other 1 went past my father's ear and hit a door jam behind my father a wooden door jam from which it was later removed by the LAPD. Sirhan was then grabbed by 6 men in a dog pile, and he was backed onto the steam table, and his aunt, the the Bradford Johnson, who is a great friend of mine, one of my father's I was friendly. Was it, that the gold medal winner in 1960?
He was one of the people grabbing, and he was the one who actually grabbed his hand. And he said that, who's a tiny little man, I you know, I've been to meet him and visit him in prison. He said the tiniest, tiniest little guy, and but so I Rafer said he had superhuman strength, and he could not get that gun out of his hand. And Sirhan now was pointing the gun away from my father and fired 6 more shots. So there's 8 shots in the barrel.
He fired 6 in the other direction, the opposite direction from where my father was. All those shots hit people, so we know who they hit, we know what happened to all of those bullets, 1 person got shot twice and one through one through his clothing. And And your father was shot 4 times from behind.
Speaker 1: And So it's the same scenario as I was
Speaker 0: Let me just finish.
Speaker 1: A patsy and a real shooter.
Speaker 0: Right. So he was a distractor. And the real shooter was behind my father, who was a man called Eugene Dan Sazer, who was a security guard who worked for Lockheed. He was a CIA operative. He was a vocal, vocal racist who hated the Kennedys, and he had been the one who led my father through the kitchen toward the ambush, he was holding my father's arm.
He drew drew his gun.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 0: And my father was shot 4 times from behind. 1 of the shots passed through the shoulder pad of his, harmlessly through the shoulder that of his, of his his coat. The other 2 were into his back and then one behind his ear, which was the fatal shot. And all of the shot had an uphill trajectory, so and all of them, and this is what the autopsy found, we're contact shots. So the barrel of the gun was touching my father's body or his clothing, and they left carbon the the discharge left carbon tattoos were less than an inch from his skin, so they they left carbon tattoos on his flesh.
And the autopsy was an exquisite autopsy. It's called the perfect autopsy. Thomas Nafuchi, who knew what had happened to president Kennedy's Topsy which was you know loaded with scandal did not want the same thing to happen in LA and he said we're not going to do Dallas again. So he flew in the top corners from all of the armed services, the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, to observe what he was doing, and his autopsy is called the perfect autopsy in the medical literature, and, you know, he concluded that the shots had come from behind, and there were 77 eyewitnesses who saw that Sirhan was never behind my father. He was always in front of him, always about 5 feet away, and all the shots that killed him now.
Speaker 1: It seems so open. He fell, and as if
Speaker 0: my father fell, he he he must have known he was being shot from I because he turned around and grabbed off Caesar's clip on tie. And you can see pictures of him lying on the floor, and he's actually lying on top of Caesar with the clip on tie in his hand, and there's pictures of Caesar without his tie on. Pushed my father off him and stood up. He was knocked down when my father fell on to him. He stood up and was seen with his gun.
The police did not confiscate the gun that night, and they asked him what what he was doing, and he said he drew the gun to shoot at Sarhan. And, you know, and then that that's the beginning of the story, and then, Zazir made a theories of changing deceptive lying statements after that in the different times he was, questioned over many many years. I cannot tell you what happened. I, you know, I I can speculate about it, but I can tell you that I cannot see any way and that anybody can read that autopsy report and believe that Sir Ann killed my father. And that's you know, my point is that it ought to be investigated.

#5 - But Sirhan Sirhan was not the only gunman in the kitchen hotel.
There was another shooter proclaimed, Robert F. Kennedy’s son, Democratic Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. He sat down with Bill Maher on the Club Random podcast, where he unfolded the events of that infamous night in detail.
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
#6 - “When I was older, I researched it [JFK’s assassination]. Somebody gave me a book called JFK and the Unspeakable, and I read it. And the story made sense,” told Kennedy.
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
#7 - “But I still believed that my father had been killed by Sirhan Sirhan.”
“Sirhan confessed to the murder,” denoted Kennedy. “He pled guilty. His story is that he has no memory of it, and he stuck with that story for 60 years. But there was a man standing, one of my father’s best friends, standing beside him when my father was shot. And his name is Paul Schrade.”
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
#8 - RFK Jr. told Bill Maher that Paul Schrade, who was the Deputy Director of the United Auto Workers, introduced his father to Cesar Chavez, which was “one of the most important relationships” his father ever had.
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
#9 - “And the first shot that Sirhan fired hit Paul in the head,” Kennedy detailed. “Paul survived, and he just died less than a year ago. And he spent the last 20 years of his life trying to get Sirhan out of jail because he did not believe that Sirhan killed my father.”
Kennedy shared that Allard Lowenstein, a former US Congressman (D-NY) and “great friend” of Robert F. Kennedy, also believed the same thing — that Sirhan Sirhan did not kill the Presidential hopeful in 1968. “He fought for many years to get Sirhan out [of prison] and get the case reopened because he did not believe that my father was killed by Sirhan.”
Kennedy previously believed that the 77 eyewitnesses at the Ambassador Hotel shooting must have seen things right — that Sirhan Sirhan killed his father.
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
#10 - It wasn’t until Paul Schrade showed Kennedy an autopsy report that his view of his father’s death changed forever.
“Paul Schrade made me come over to his house one day and read the autopsy report,” recalled Kennedy. “How did he make me? He told me, you have to do this. And because he was such a close friend of my father’s and because he himself had been shot, I felt like I couldn’t say no to him. When I sat down and read the autopsy report, it became clear to me, as it would to anybody who read that report, that Sirhan could not have killed my father, which is what Thomas Noguchi, the coroner, the most important coroner probably in American history also concluded and said in his autobiography.”
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
#11 - Here’s the short story of what happened, per Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
“Sirhan fired two shots at my father. He was 5ft away. There was absolute mayhem in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel. My father just won the primary. He said, from the stage, ‘And now it’s onto Chicago,’ which is where the convention was. Then he walks off the stage, and he went into a route that was not expected.”
Kennedy continued. “He [my father] was led into a route through the kitchen, which he was not supposed to go to, and waiting in the kitchen in an ambush was Siran Siran standing in front of a steam table. And as my father approached the steam table, Sirhan fired at him two shots. One of those hit Paul Schrade. The other one went past my father’s ear and hit a door jam behind my father, a wooden door jam from which it was later removed by the LAPD. Sirhan was then grabbed by six men in a dog pile, and he was backed onto the steam table.”
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
#12 - Kennedy shared that Rafer Johnson, a “great friend” of Kennedy’s father and 1960 Olympic gold medalist in the decathlon, was one of the people who tried to grab Sirhan’s gun.
“He was one of the people who grabbed it [the gun], and he was the one who actually grabbed his hand.” Rafer told Kennedy Sirhan Sirhan was “The tiniest, tiniest little guy” but tough as nails — going as far as to say Sirhan “had superhuman strength.” “He [Rafer] could not get that gun out of his [Sirhan’s] hand,” continued Kennedy. “And Sirhan now was pointing the gun away from my father and fired six more shots.”
“So there’s eight shots in the barrel,” Kennedy summarized. “He [Sirhan] fired six [shots] in the opposite direction from where my father was. All of those shots hit people. So we know who they hit. We know what happened to all of those bullets. One person got shot twice.” But his father, Robert F. Kennedy, “was shot four times from behind.”
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
#13 - “So it’s the same scenario as [Lee Harvey] Oswald,” interjected Bill Maher. “A patsy and a real shooter.” “Right,” agreed Kennedy. “So, he was a distractor.”
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
#14 - “The real shooter was behind my father,” claimed Kennedy.
“That man is Thane Eugene Cesar.” Cesar “was a security guard who worked for Lockheed [Martin]. He was a CIA operative. He was a vocal, vocal racist who hated the Kennedys. And he had been the one who led my father through the kitchen toward the ambush.”
“He was holding my father’s arm. He drew his gun. And my father was shot four times from behind. One of the shots passed harmlessly through the shoulder pad of his coat. The other two were into his back and then one behind his ear, which was the fatal shot. And all of the shots had an uphill trajectory. And all of them, and this is what the autopsy found, were contact shots,” reported Kennedy. “So, the barrel of the gun was touching my father’s body or his clothing. And the discharge left carbon tattoos … on his flesh.”
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
#15 - The basis for Kennedy’s claims came from “The Perfect Autopsy.”

“Thomas Noguchi, who knew what had happened in President Kennedy’s autopsy, which was loaded with scandal, did not want the same thing to happen in LA. And he said, ‘We’re not going to do Dallas again.’ So he flew in the top coroners from all of the armed services, the army, air force, navy, [and] marines to observe what he was doing.

#16 - Kennedy also argued that his father “must have known he was being shot from behind.”
“As my father fell, he must have known he was being shot from behind because he turned around and grabbed off Cesar’s clip-on tie. And you can see pictures of him lying on the floor. And he’s actually lying on top of Cesar with the clip-on tie in his hand. And there’s pictures of Cesar without his tie on.”
Kennedy continued. “Cesar pushed my father off him and stood up. He was knocked down when my father fell onto him. He stood up and was seen with his gun. The police did not confiscate the gun that night. And they asked him what he was doing. And he said he drew the gun to shoot at Sirhan.”
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
#17 - And this is all just “the beginning of the story,” remarked Kennedy.
“Cesar made a series of changing, deceptive, lying statements after that in the different times he was questioned over many, many years. I cannot tell you what happened. I can speculate about it. But I can tell you that I cannot see any way that anybody can read that autopsy report and believe that Sirhan killed my father,” concluded Kennedy.
“And that’s my point,” he stated. “It [the case] ought to be investigated.”
