Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his vice presidential nominee, Nicole Shanahan, are set to participate in a campaign event on Wednesday moderated by self-described journalist Ian Carroll, who has, in recent months, promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories.

As recently as July 24, Carroll posted on X that “our country is controlled by an international criminal organization that grew out of the Jewish mob and now hides in modern Zionism behind cries of ‘antisemitism.’ But make no mistake, it is an international organized crime syndicate and it has complete control over Washington.”

Carroll has also claimed on multiple occasions that Israel has manipulated Holocaust history for its own benefit.

On March 4, he said that the Holocaust had happened but “Israel certainly did their best to embellish and inflame the history books telling of the tale ever since.” He further suggested that Holocaust denial had been invented by Israel to “discredit people that start asking too many questions.”

On Feb. 11, he claimed that the Holocaust “has certainly been milked for all its worth by modern Zionist interests,” adding that neither the Allies nor the Nazis were “good guys” in World War II, which he said had been “orchestrated by massive banking powers.”

The virtual Kennedy campaign event, advertised on Kennedy’s campaign website, is set to discuss artificial intelligence. Pia Malaney, the associate research director of the Institute for New Economic Thinking, will also be a panelist. Kennedy’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

Carroll told JI he is not being paid by the campaign to moderate the event and does not have any other connections to the campaign. He said that moderating the event “does not mean in any way that I agree with everyone on the panel, or that the panelists agree with me. This is the fundamental nature of debate and discussion.”

Carroll has also claimed that “Israel did 9/11” and that the modern Democratic Party is “run by CIA and Mossad” and suggested Jews control the media.

In May, Carroll shared a self-produced two-and-a-half-hour video titled “Evidence of a Zionist Mafia – How Israel controls the US and global politics,” with a graphic featuring a Star of David over the U.S. Capitol building, alongside pictures of three former U.S. presidents, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, convicted pedophile and financier Jeffrey Epstein and former Epstein client Les Wexner.

Carroll said in an exchange about that video that he had used “Zionist mafia” as a stand-in for “Jewish cabal.”

And he has engaged with claims that Shanahan, Kennedy’s running mate, may be involved in this supposed Jewish conspiracy. He suggested that it was suspicious that she’d been married to three Jewish men and said he’d be looking further into the issue, though he said that more “mundane explanations” were more probable. Shanahan has previously appeared on Carroll’s podcast.

Kennedy has personally expressed strong support for Israel on the campaign trail, including repeatedly rejecting calls for a cease-fire.
