A large group of QAnon supporters have gathered together to greet ‘JFK Junior’, believing that the late lawyer and journalist is set to announce a 2024 presidential run with former president Donald Trump.
Many QAnon supporters wrongly believe that Kennedy faked his own death, returning over twenty years later to help President Trump ‘drain the swamp’.
Kennedy Jr. was killed in a 1999 plane crash at the age of just 38. Kennedy’s wife, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, also died after their plane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean near Martha’s Vineyard, as did his sister-in-law Lauren Bessette.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) later determined that Kennedy, who had been piloting the plane, had spatial disorientation while descending over water at night, causing him to lose control over the craft
QAnon followers have long held the miguided view that Kennedy has been disguising himself as a Pittsburgh man named Vincent Fusca for many years, preparing for his return to public life.
Footage shared of Fusca, which went viral this summer, shows a man far shorter than the 6″1 Kennedy who bears no immediate resemblance to the deceased.
QAnon supporters have in the past claimed that Kennedy would return for the supposed August 2021 ‘reinstatement’ of impeached President Trump. Many genuinely believed their beloved leader would return to the White House, despite there being no precedent for such a thing in the US.
The deluded group now claim that Kennedy is set to finally reveal that he is in fact alive and ready to announce a 2024 presidential run with Trump.

QuAnon is a conspiracy theory based on false information thatDonald Trump is waging a secret war against elite Satan-worshipping paedophiles in government, business and the media.
Many of its proponents who support the former president were also present at the 6 January attack on the US capitol, which resulted in the death of five people.
The former president once described those who follow threcult like group as “people who love our country”.
The group was formed in October 2017, with a post on the obscure, right-wing 4chan chatroom titled “Calm Before the Storm” and written by someone using the name “Q Clearance Patriot”.
