Robert F. Kennedy Jr, the namesake of his famous father, has become a disgrace to his revered father’s memory!
He has caused great distress in his own family circles, among his siblings, and even more so for his mother, Ethel Kennedy, age 96, who has been widowed for 56 years.
He has disgraced his own admirable environmental advocacy from decades ago, when he was distinguished as a reformer.
His own issues with drug addiction, alcoholism, and sexual escapades have doomed his earlier, admirable qualities.
His family’s connection and loyalty to Joe Biden has been besmirched by his reckless, preposterous campaign for President, which now has ended with an endorsement of Donald Trump, a man who shares in his corruption in so many ways, but is a repudiation of his long term reputation, now lying in tatters. And now, he claims he would be on the transition team for Donald Trump if he wins back the Presidency.
His three marriages, including his second wife committing suicide, considered provoked by RFK Jr’s mistreatment of her emotional problems, have also made one wonder about his sanity.
His present marriage, to actress Cheryl Hines, seems in danger too, as a result of his endorsement of Trump, and he is certainly the “dark sheep” of the family.
What, if any, effect RFK Jr. will have on the Presidential race is hard to fathom, but his support went down dramatically when Joe Biden dropped out of the race, and Kamala Harris replaced him as the Democratic Presidential nominee.
