LOS ANGELES.–Caroline Kennedy, 67, former Amb. to Australia, denounced her cousin today to the U.S. Senate that’s about to hold a confirmation hearing on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Health and Human Services Secretary.  Caroline lost her father when she was four years of age Nov. 22, 1963 when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dealy Plaza, Dallas, Texas.  Her’s father death has been the most enduring conspiracy in U.S. history, prompting untold numbers of books, papers, TV shows and movies, all of which trying to explain what happened that fateful day in Dallas.  Calling her cousin RFK Jr. “perverse,” Caroline broke every rule of protocol, decorum and decency, attacking her first cousin for whatever reason.  Members of the Senate are perfectly capable of figuring out whether RFK Jr. meets the minimum requirement to serve as Secretary of Health and Human Services.

            Caroline didn’t need to air her dirty laundry in public but felt inclined to butcher her first cousin.  “I have known Bobby my whole life, we grew up together,” Caroline wrote U.S. senators in a letter.  “It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because he himself is a predator,” Caroline wrote.  Harking back to her childhood or RFK’s earlier years sheds no light whatsoever in his fitness for duty as Health and Human Services Secretary. Senators, tasked with vetting RFK Jr., don’t need to hear about his youthful indiscretions or preferences as seen by younger first cousin. “His basement, his garage, his dorm room were the centers for the action where drugs were available, and he enjoyed showing off how he put baby chickens and mice in the blender to fee his hawks,” Caroline wrote.  It was often a perverse scene of despair and violence,” Caroline said.

            Whatever childhood memories Caroline had about her cousin, Bobby Kennedy Jr., a graduate of University of Virginia law school, had a distinguished career as an environmental lawyer, tackling some of the toughest litigation imaginable with drug companies and vaccine makers, poisoning American youth with impunity.  Whether Caroline likes it or not, her cousin Bobby is light-years more savvy about the economy and foreign policy, certainly on issues related to toxic exposure to various chemicals found in drugs, vaccines or the food supply.  Why she thinks the Senate wants to hear about Bobby’s predilections during his formative years is anyone’s guess.  Like Caroline, Bobby also went thought his father’s assassination at age 16, a far more impactful age than a four year-old when her father JFK was assassinated.  Caroline should show some empathy toward her cousin.

            Whatever her actual reasons for denouncing her cousin, Caroline crossed the line, offering nothing senators would touch in any senate confirmation hearing.  Senators want to know RFK Jr’s views on the drug and health care industry, Medicare, Medicaid and other government sponsored health care initiatives.  Senators want to know how RFK Jr. plans to make safer drinking water, food products and drugs, all of which affect the lives of everyday Americans.  Democrats despise RFK Jr. for breaking ranks and supporting President Donald Trump.  However much help Trump got from RFK Jr., it could have amounted to one-two-percent but it’s not known for sure.  Trump likes RFK Jr. because he doesn’t hesitate to speak his mind, buck the system, when he denounced Biden’s War in Ukraine, saying it put the U.S. dangerously close to WW III and nuclear war.

            Caroline says nothing about Bobby’s views on arms control or working toward global peace and prosperity.  RFK Jr.’s campaign spanned the gamut of important issues confronting the U.S. in the past age of Biden where arms control was tossed to the wind so he could subsidize Ukraine and the war with the Kremlin.  Caroline said RFK’s “crusade against vaccination,” insisting he vaccinated his own children. Democrats and the fake news echo Caroline’s comments claiming RFK Jr. is a vaccine conspiracy theorist, claiming that Measles, Mumps and Rubella vaccines might have contributed to the growing epidemic of Attention Deficit Disorder and Autism.  Caroline calls it a fraud but tell than to mothers of autistic children trying to figure out how their kinds wound up that way.  Democrats and the fake news say RFK Jr. is a conspiracy nut.

            Trump and RFK’s bond involves more than ending the Ukraine War, it involves both accused of spreading conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 pandemic and childhood vaccines. In Trump’s case, Democrats and the fake news said he spread lies about Covid-19 saying April 30, 2020 that the deadly novel coronavirus was made in a Wuhan Institute of Virology Lab.  Only last week, the CIA finally admitted that the lab leak theory was the most likely explanation for the spread of Covid-19, killing over 7 million worldwide and over 1.2 million in the U.S.  So when Caroline denounces her cousin dredging up past drug problems or whatever, she forgets his career protecting consumers from toxic exposure to vaccines and other food products.  Caroline went for the jugular say RFK Jr. “has gone on to misrepresent, lie and cheat his way through life,” stating her hateful opinion about her first cousin.
