Caroline Kennedy Denounces Cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Ahead of Senate Confirmation Hearing
Caroline Kennedy, the 67-year-old daughter of former President John F. Kennedy, has publicly denounced her cousin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., ahead of his Senate confirmation hearing for the role of U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary. In a scathing letter to senators, Kennedy described her cousin as a “predator” who is unqualified for the position due to his “dangerous and willfully misinformed” views on vaccines and his history of exploiting vulnerable individuals. She also accused him of hypocrisy, noting that while he vaccinated his own children, he discouraged others from doing so.
Kennedy, a former U.S. ambassador to Australia and Japan, shared personal anecdotes about her cousin’s past, including his involvement in drug use and violent behavior, such as feeding baby chickens and mice to his hawks. She emphasized that his actions and views are at odds with the legacy of their family, which has long championed public service and healthcare reform.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has been a prominent anti-vaccine activist, faces bipartisan scrutiny over his nomination. Caroline Kennedy’s letter, which she also read aloud in a video posted on social media, marks a rare public rebuke from the typically reserved Kennedy family member. She expressed confidence that her father and uncles would be “disgusted” by her cousin’s actions.
Kennedy Jr. is scheduled to appear before the Senate Finance Committee and the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee for his confirmation hearings. His nomination has sparked significant controversy, with critics questioning his suitability for the role given his controversial stances and past behavior.
