“When President Trump called me I was taping with an in-house videographer,” Kennedy wrote on social media site X. “I should have ordered the videographer to stop recording immediately. I am mortified that this was posted. I apologize to the president.”

The call was made in the wake of Trump being injured in an assassination attempt during a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday afternoon.
In their conversation, Trump — who was put on speakerphone — spoke about vaccines and claimed they were hurting children. He also talked about his reaction to being hit in the ear by a bullet.
“I just turned my head to show the chart and something rapped me, it felt like the world’s largest mosquito,” Trump said.
“And it was, it was a bullet going around, you know, what do they call it, an AR-15 or something. That was a big gun. Those are pretty tough guns, right.”
NEW: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apologizes after footage was released of his conversation with Donald Trump.

Kennedy, a long-shot presidential candidate, has had a tough month on the campaign trail.
In early July, Vanity Fair published a story after obtaining a picture that showed him and an unidentified woman posing with what appeared to be a cooked dog in South Korea.
In the photo, Kennedy mimics taking a bite out of the animal.
