Robert Kennedy’s Sister, Family Denounce Candidacy Announcement: “We believe it to be perilous for our country”

Share

This is rough.

Robert Kennedy Jr’s siblings have denounced his candidacy on social media.

They write: “Bobby might share the same name as our father, but he does not share the same values, vision or judgment. Today’s announcement is deeply saddening for us. We denounce his candidacy and believe it to be perilous for our country. @roryekennedy @joekennedy @KKT_Kennedy”

Ouch!

Kennedy declared his candidacy for presidency this morning as an independent candidate. He broke ranks with Kennedy tradition as a Democrat and also as someone who was sane. Kennedy was introduced this morning by his wife, actress Cheryl Hines, who seems to be clueless or just as stupid as her husband. This will certainly cost her airtime if “Curb Your Enthusiasm” ever returns. Fans thought she was a lot smarter.

For the Kennedy family to go this far means they know what a danger their brother is. They could have remained silent. But this is serious. So much for those touch football games. And don’t forget RFKJr has already been denounced by Caroline Kennedy and her son, Jack. All that’s left is Maria Shriver for the final nail.
