3. It says something when so many members of his own family

are speaking out against him.

6. Here is Caroline Kennedy's letter to Congress.

Caroline Kennedy Condemns “Predator” RFK Jr. in Blistering Letter to Congress

The daughter of President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, who’s served as U.S. ambassador to both Japan and Australia, is RFK Jr.’s first cousin. Caroline has been notoriously private when it comes to press, but as RFK heads to Capitol Hill in hopes of being confirmed as President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, she’s speaking out in a very public way.

In a letter to Congress, Caroline calls RFK Jr. a “predator” who “preys on the desperation of parents and sick children” with his anti-vaccine rhetoric. She says that her father and both her Kennedy uncles (including RFK Jr.’s own father) would be “disgusted” by his political conduct. And she declares that Americans deserve “a stable, moral, and ethical person” to lead the charge on our healthcare system — and therefore, she formally asks the Senate to reject his nomination.

Overseeing the FDA, the NIH, the CDC, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services — agencies that are charged with protecting the most vulnerable among us — is an enormous responsibility, and one that Bobby is unqualified to fill. He lacks any relevant government, financial, management, or medical experience. His views on vaccines are dangerous and willfully misinformed. These facts alone should be disqualifying. But he has personal qualities related to this position which, for me, post even greater concern.

I have known Bobby my whole life; we grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because he himself is a predator. He has always been charismatic — able to attract others through the strength of his personality, willingness to take risks and break the rules. I watched his younger brothers and cousins follow him down the path of drug addiction. His basement, his garage, and 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.

11. He's a psychopath, she

A mass murdered who uses his embrace of conspiracy theories to kill children and vulnerable adults.

[sheshe2]

13. Yes, exactly, mcar.

All this from a man that self-medicated on HEROIN for fourteen years.

This man is sick and a danger to us all.

[BlueKota]

18. Wow. He truly is a deviant.

And those asshats confirmed him anyway.

[Jilly_in_VA]

4. I don't think anyone in his own family likes him

I suspect even his own mother has probably given up on him Oh wait, isn't she dead now? I hopw she wrote him out of her will!

[Stargleamer]

32. She called Biden to apologize for him. . .

33. She was right

and very gracious of Joe to accept, too. But that's our Joe!

If I had a kid like RFK Jr, I would have denounced him to everyone. Out loud and in public.It would be awful to have to do, but I'd do it. He is no better than any common criminal. Maybe worse, because he is playing with millions of lives!

[BigmanPigman]

5. RFK jr's ego is humongous. He doesn't care what his family

thinks about him. If he did he would be a different person by now. He is the black sheep and he loves it or his actions would be different. He is a waste case for the Kennedy family.

[FakeNoose]

15. It's hard to believe he grew up in that family

The Kennedy Clan should have disowned him years ago. I mean, he could have stayed out of politics and it wouldn't have mattered so much. But he's destroying the Kennedy name now.

[Paladin]

7. A thousand thanks, Joe Kennedy III.

Hey, every family has one. Never doubt that your comments are greatly appreciated.

[UTUSN]

8. K&R for, well ok but have had it with the whole bunch

[Cha]

9. Mahalo for Joe Kennedy's Statement, she..

What a Twilight Zone.

That's the whole point of the RF Kennedy is to Kill Americans or he wouldn't have gotten the job from the Traitor and Putin approved.

[sheshe2]

14. Yes, that is the point, Cha.

Trump hates America and wants to destroy it any way he can.

[Cha]

17. Rod Serling's Living Twilight Zone.

How could we ever imagine America would come to this back in the day when we were watching it on TV?

[sheshe2]

20. I don't think even Serling couldn't have imagined this, Cha.

[Cha]

24. I know, right? I've told my experience of

of meeting Rod Serling in person in the 70s in Gainesville, Florida.. it was my 6 degrees of the Twilight Zone..

Now We're All IN It.. and Have to Get OUT!

[mcar]

10. Senate Rs should have listened. nt

[calimary]

21. Unless they wanted to have something to criticize?

Something they could point to, so they could say it’s proof that we Dems are NOT okay (“THIS guy? Just proof that you Dems are idiots!”).

[mcar]

22. That doesn't make sense

Bob Jr is their guy, not ours. Granted he got attention from some of the far left conspiracy theorists. But he's their guy. No Democrats voted for this mess.

I think that was borne out in the hearing.

[sheshe2]

23. He put baby chicks and mice in a blender to feed his hawks.

That is psycho mass murderer mentality right there. He waited a long time to fulfill his dream and now, the American people will pay the price.

[mcar]

27. He's not an individual serial killer

He's going to kill as many of us as he can. Sick fck.

[sheshe2]

29. Mass murder, by a coldhearted shell of a man.

The deaths won't care about party lines or accumulated wealth.

[mcar]

30. The deaths of children are bound to be in rural areas

a lot in the South, especially considering Gov. DeathSentence's recent edict against vaccines. The rural health system here is already a shambles. Wait till the Medicaid cuts come through.

Children will die. Women and girls will be forced to give birth, have little to no food or medical support, and then watch their children die of measles.

That's pro-life in the US of A.

[berniesandersmittens]

12. Hear, hear

K&R

[red dog 1]

16. K&R

We need Joe Kennedy III back in the House of Representatives ASAP!

[TomSlick]

19. My guess is that Secretary Kennedy will not be invited to the family Thanksgiving or Christmas.

My uneducated guess is the guy is mentally unwell. Which, of course, means that he is a perfect fit in the Trump administration.

[AllaN01Bear]

25. ding.

[ReRe]

26. K&R

I cannot imagine what it would be like to be related to this man.
He has his wonderful father's name, yet it must mean nothing to him.
For the life of me, I will never understand how someone so unqualified
could have been considered for NIH Director. The number of people
who will die (or has already) is incalculable.

[sheshe2]

28. It not just the vaccines, he is cancelling life saving research.

Trump and his picks have made us into one of those 'shithole' countries he was railing about.

I am out of words.

[C Moon]

31. My wife's parents are republicans. They have voted r in every election that I know of.

I'm not sure about trump's past election, though.
Regardless, they both got flu and COVID vaccines today.
