Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump introduced Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at his rally in Arizona on Friday just a couple of hours after RFK Jr. announced he was suspending his campaign and endorsing Trump.

Kennedy walked out on stage to a roaring crowd and fireworks while Foo Fighters’ “My Hero” blasted through the arena like a rock concert.

“Tonight, I am very pleased to welcome a man who has been an incredible champion for so many of these values we all share,” Trump said. “For the past 16 months, Robert F. Kennedy Junior has run an extraordinary campaign for President of the United States. Had he been allowed to enter the Democrat primary, he would have beaten Joe Biden.”

“His candidacy has inspired millions of Americans, raised critical issues that have been too-long ignored, and brought together people from across the political spectrum in a positive campaign grounded in the American values of his father, Robert Kennedy, and his uncle, President Kennedy,” he added. “I believe they would both be very proud.”

While introducing RFK Jr., Trump said that Kennedy called him after he was shot during an assassination attempt last month.

“He knows firsthand the risks incurred by leaders who stand up to the corrupt political establishment—he lost his father and uncle in service to our country, and Bobby himself was subject to repeated threats to his safety during the course of his campaign, while being denied protection by the Harris-Biden administration,” Trump said.

Trump announced that in honor of Bobby, he would create a new commission to investigate and release information about presidential assassination attempts.

“In honor of Bobby, I am announcing tonight that upon my election, I will establish a new independent presidential commission on Assassination Attempts,” he said. “They will be tasked with releasing all remaining documents pertaining to President John F. Kennedy’s assassination and other events in question, and they also will conduct a rigorous review of the attack last month in Butler.”
