Citing a family emergency in Florida, third party presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. arrived four hours late for a Nashville campaign fundraising event on Wednesday.

Kennedy’s “A Night of Comedy” featured comedians including former Saturday Night Live cast members Rob Schneider and Jim Breuer and Russell Brand.

Nicole Shanahan, a veteran of the tech industry and Kennedy’s running mate, took the stage just before 11 p.m., followed by Kennedy, who spoke to the crowd — which had thinned significantly since the 7 p.m. start time — for less than 15 minutes. Kennedy did not address any themes of his campaign.

Kennedy, who is on the presidential ballot in six states, has not qualified for Tennessee’s ballot. The deadline to qualify for the November election is August 15.

Photojournalist John Partipilo covered the event.
