Caroline Kennedy has Plenty to Say About RFK, Jr

The children of Camelot are all grown now and many have, like their famous parents and aunts and uncles, gone on to make their own significant marks in the world, and two of the more prominent scions of the Kennedy Democratic political dynasty have been featured in the news this week.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, is a 71-year-old professional falconer who was addicted to heroin for fourteen years during his teens and twenties, who says that a parasitic worm has eaten part of his brain, and who is said to occasionally dine on roadkill.  Bobby ran for President as a Democrat last year before dropping out of that primary and re-entering the race as an  Independent - and later partially abandoning his Independent candidacy to back the Republican candidate, Donald Trump.  Kennedy, the son of the late US Attorney General and US Senator from New York, Robert F. Kennedy, is currently Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services, and his Senate confirmation hearings start today.

One of Kennedy's more famous cousins is Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, who goes by "Caroline Kennedy."   She is the daughter of the late President John F. Kennedy.  Caroline, who is sixty-seven, was US Ambassador to Japan during the Obama administration and Ambassador to Australia for President Biden.  Yesterday she released a blistering letter to select members of the Senate who will be questioning RFK, Jr, over the next two days.   Caroline Kennedy's letter to the senarors stands in opposition to the appointment of her cousin to be Secretary of Health and Human Services.

As a part of that letter as well as in a posting to "X," Caroline Kennedy said of her cousin:

"I have known Bobby my whole life;  we grew up together.   It's no surprise he keeps birds of prey as pets because he himself is a predator."

She added that he now "preys on the desperation of parents of sick children," and she noted that while even though he had his own children vaccinated, the HHS nominee now encourages other parents not to vaccinate theirs.  

Expanding on RFK's character and history, Caroline Kennedy said in her letter:

"I watched his younger brothers and cousins follow him down the path of drug addiction.  His basement, his garage, his dorm room were the centers where drugs were available, and he enjoyed showing off how he put baby chickens and mice in the blender to feed his hawks.  It was often a perverse sense of despair and violence."

This tired typist has not yet seen a response from RFK, Jr, to his cousin's letter, so perhaps he feels it is something best left ignored, but presidential daughter-in-law (and former Republican Party hack) Lara Trump, referred to the letter as "disgusting."

Would that be more disgusting or less disgusting than putting baby chicks and mice in a blender, Laura, or eating roadkill, or having a parasitic worm eat part of your brain?  Enquiring minds want to know.
