Schrade was walking through the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel on the night of the 1968 California primary when he suddenly felt like he was being electrocuted. Full story. ⬇️
It was 1968 in Delano, California, Bob Kennedy was visiting Cesar Chavez, when Schrade first urged Kennedy to run for president. He traveled on a small plane with a couple of his guys and just pounded him that he had to run. Had to run. Had to run. Well, he didn't say he was going to run, but he asked a lot of questions about California politics.
Q: After the speech, you accompanied Kennedy on his fateful walk into the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel en route to a meeting with reporters. Tell me more about that. I survived it, but emotionally I didn't. I was in really bad shape for a long time and depressed, but also very angry about losing Bob. And a lot of my staff people said, you know, you're not doing your work. I was defeated for office a couple of years later. I took a job in an aerospace factory with an active U.A.W. local just to get to a quiet place. They downgraded me to a stockroom job.
In 2016, a half-century after Robert F. Kennedy was gunned down, Paul Schrade testified in support of Sirhan's parole as he continued to question the official account of the killing. He insisted that the act was one that Robert Kennedy would support. Schrade: Well, that's what the police say, but I was an innocent bystander. If he was trying to shoot Robert Kennedy and shot me, that doesn't mean he had any animosity or any feelings about me at all, so I feel free to forgive him for shooting me.
