Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Pens Open Letter to Kerry Kennedy After Trump Endorsement

In a scathing open letter, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. slams his sister Kerry Kennedy for condemning his endorsement of Donald Trump, accusing her and the Kennedy family of holding themselves above reproach while engaging in questionable behavior.

On the fateful day that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his presidential campaign and threw his support behind former president Donald Trump, it was perhaps inevitable that there would be an uproar from political opponents and ideological purists. However, the most venomous and personal attack came from an unexpected source: Kennedy's own family.

His sister, Kerry Kennedy, spearheaded a public denunciation of Bobby, excoriating him for betraying "the values that our father and family hold most dear." This prompted Kennedy Jr. to pen an open letter, published on Fox News, in which he unleashed a torrent of accusations and denunciations against his family.

Kennedy Jr. accused his family of having a "checkered past" and engaging in "horrible behavior," citing the controversial treatment of Marilyn Monroe, the womanizing, and the abandonment of Mary Jo Kopechne to her death. He asserted that despite these egregious actions, the Kennedy family had always remained loyal and protective of their own.

"You are not touched by the worry about having enough gas to get to work, or whether or not you can afford eggs this week, if you'll be safe walking in your own neighborhood, or if your child will be safe in their urban public school," he wrote, disparaging the Kennedy family's wealth and perceived remoteness from the concerns of ordinary Americans.

Kennedy Jr. accused Kerry Kennedy of "civil rights work and public service virtue signaling," but argued that her family had failed to truly understand the economic struggles and safety concerns faced by many Americans. He excoriated her for condemning his decision to support Trump, who he believed could help improve the lives of Americans.

In a passionate and defiant conclusion, Kennedy Jr. declared that he and his supporters would not "go gentle into the catastrophes to which we are expected to succumb," but instead would "fight, fight, fight!" with Trump and all those who joined them.

The open letter sparked a fierce debate on social media, with some users supporting Kennedy Jr.'s decision to endorse Trump and criticizing the Kennedy family for their hypocrisy, while others condemned him for aligning himself with a divisive figure and attacking his own family.

In the aftermath of the letter, Kerry Kennedy has not publicly responded to her brother's accusations. The Kennedy family has a long history of political engagement and public service, but this latest episode has cast a shadow over the family's legacy and raised questions about the enduring power of loyalty and forgiveness within the clan.
