Max Kennedy Op Ed: Ignore My Brother Bobby
I think often about my father and how he might have viewed the politics of our time. I’m not sure what he would have thought about TikTok or AI, but this much I know for sure: He would have despised Donald Trump.
Trump was exactly the kind of arrogant, entitled bully my father used to prosecute. Robert F. Kennedy’s life was dedicated to promoting the safety, security and happiness of the American people. That is why he would have so admired another former prosecutor, Kamala Harris. Her career, like his, has been all about decency, dignity, equality, democracy and justice for all
…
Let me go through the record.
My father was an anti-racist who joined the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in common cause, and forged a powerful bond with African Americans everywhere he went in 1968.
Donald Trump is a lifelong racist whose entire career has been shaped by his dislike of people with a different skin color.

Max Kennedy joins his sister Kerry in defending their father’s legacy and slamming Jr’s endorsement of Trump. These Maggats claiming the mantle of JFK and RFK saying they would have supported Trump is disgusting. If anything RFK as Attorney General of the United States would have prosecuted that conman.

This bit jumped out at me:
Golly gee whiz, I just can't imagine why he got no response to that, can you?
I mean, seriously, if this doesn't prove there's something seriously wrong with the dude, I don't know what would. If he's so used to his name opening any door he knocks on that he can't imagine a situation where it wouldn't, I think he may be in for a rude awakening. Now that he's endorsed Trump, he's going to be persona non grata to a lot of people, especially Democrats.
What a deluded, entitled jerk.

Earlier this month, as Harris surged in the polls, my brother offered her his endorsement in exchange for a position in her coming administration. He got no response.
