“I have known Bobby my whole life; we grew up together,” Caroline Kennedy wrote [ahead of RFK jr’s confirmation hearing]. “It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because he himself is a predator… [Through] the strength of his personality, [other family members followed Kennedy] down the path of drug addiction… His basement, his garage, his dorm room were the centers of the action 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 scene of despair and violence.”
She commended Kennedy for “pulling himself out of illness and disease” but lamented that “siblings and cousins who Bobby encouraged down the path of substance abuse suffered addiction, illness, and death while Bobby has gone on to misrepresent, lie, and cheat his way through life.”
Brava.
