Caroline Kennedy warns senators that cousin Robert F Kennedy Jr is a ‘predator’
In a letter to Senators, the daughter of JFK urged them to reject her cousin’s bid to be Donald Trump’s health secretary.
Caroline Kennedy has urged the US Senate to reject the nomination of her cousin, Robert F Kennedy Jr, to be health secretary, calling him a “predator” who is addicted to power.
In a letter to Senators, Ms Kennedy, who previously served as a US ambassador to Australia and Japan and is the daughter of former President John F Kennedy, etched a damning sketch of her cousin, the latest condemnation Robert F Kennedy Jr has received from members of his own, prominent Democratic family.
Several denounced her cousin’s bid for the presidency last year. The letter, obtained by The Associated Press, was first reported by The Washington Post.
Ms Kennedy said in the letter that her cousin’s views on vaccines are disqualifying. She offered senators personal details from their lives growing up together that she said pose an even greater concern.
“I have known Bobby my whole life, we grew up together,” she said. “It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator.”
