Nicole Shanahan, running mate for independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., released an ad Saturday urging voters to vote for Donald Trump to help Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “end the story” that his uncle and father started.
The ad runs for more than three and a half minutes. It begins with President Dwight D. Eisenhower warning about the political power of the “military-industrial complex.” It then cuts to footage of President John F. Kennedy and his assassination, and Senator Robert F. Kennedy (D-NY) and his assassination. Both men give inspirational speeches full of hope for uniting Americans, but then each one is cut away.
The film shows a young Robert F. Kennedy Jr. grieving at his father's funeral, and in the final scene, he stands on stage with former President Donald Trump at a rally last month to voice his support for the Republican candidate.

The music played throughout is Fleetwood Mac's “The Chain,” a haunting melody with the repeated lines, “You can never break these chains.”
