RFK, Jr. Takes it to the Streets at The Harlem Vaccine Forum  

By James Grundvig, Investigative Reporter

So, when a time shortage forced the event’s end, and the crowd started to leave, finding Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. outside standing on a chair should have come as no surprise. He smiled to the crowd and picked up where he had left off. And, for the next twenty minutes, he riveted the audience. He attracted local residents, passersby, and motorists who pulled over, rolled down their windows, and listened to what he had to say.

It seemed an ironic twist.
