| | | THE FACTS: Posts falsely attributing the quote to Kennedy have been circulating online for years, and the AP recently reported that the claim was even promoted by a speaker at Michael Flynn’s ReAwaken America Tour.
In recent days, the baseless quote reemerged in an Instagram post this week that has been viewed more than 24,000 times.
The post quotes Kennedy as saying, “There’s a plot in this country to enslave every man, woman and child. Before I leave this high and noble office, I intend to expose this plot.”

Beneath the quote, text reads, “JFK 7 days later,” followed by a video of a skull exploding, evoking his assassination.
However, there is no evidence that Kennedy ever said this, archivists and historians told the AP.
“We’ve been asked about this quote (and a few variations of it) many times and we’ve never found any evidence that John F. Kennedy said or wrote it,” Stacey Chandler, a reference archivist at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, wrote in an email to the AP.
