Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was mocked on social media on Monday over an embarrassing moment at the very start of his independent 2024 presidential campaign launch.
Kennedy, a son of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy (D-N.Y.), had to walk off the stage in Philadelphia on Monday after forgetting the written copy of his speech.
The environmental-attorney-turned-conspiracy theorist, whose run has already been rebuked by members of his own family, was then caught on a hot mic complaining off-stage that his address was “upside down.”

Jimmy Fallon mocked the moment on “The Tonight Show.”
It also went viral on X, formerly Twitter, where some people added the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” theme tune, especially fitting given how Kennedy’s wife Cheryl Hines starred in the hit Larry David show.

When I tell people American politics is more like the show @VeepHBO than the West Wing, they don’t believe me.

Doesn't realize that he's on a hot mic, goes onstage without his speech, teleprompter speech is upside down. What a shyt show. RFK Jr is unorganized and a Republican. His financial backing is from Republicans. Just say no. https://t.co/SBVKNWJHeU
