Kennedy Trump Endorsement Denounced by Siblings: “A betrayal of values of our father…sad ending to a sad story”

Share

The siblings of Robert Kennedy Jr have denounced his endorsement of Donald Trump.

On Twitter X they wrote: “Our brother Bobby’s decision to endorse Trump is a betrayal of the values of that our father and our family hold most dear. It is a sad ending to a sad story.”

The statement is signed by Kerry Kennedy, and undersigned by Courtney, Rory, Chris, and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend. Brother Joe Kennedy reposted it and added: “Well said.”

It is a sad ending to a sad story. Who knows if they’ve even told their mother, Ethel, what’s happening. She’s 96 years old. But so many things about Bobby, as they call him, have been “off” over the years. Is it all attributed to the assassination of his father? The sex, the drugs, the desire to see his father’s murderer released? The conspiracy theories? The siblings know that something is deeply wrong, and there’s nothing they can do about it.

And what about Kennedy’s wife, Cheryl Hines? And his children? How could they possibly go along with this? More to come, and it won’t be pleasant.
