Wrote Caroline Kennedy, about RFK Jr., quoted in "Caroline Kennedy Urges Senators to Reject Her Cousin’s Nomination/In a harsh letter to lawmakers considering Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination for health secretary, Ms. Kennedy called her cousin unfit for the job and a 'predator' who led family members to addiction" (NYT).

Family feuds are not credible information.

If you keep meat-eating animals you must feed them. Fish eat other fish. People fish for fish with live worms, crickets, and smaller fish. Zoos are evil for keeping Asian tigers and African lions?

RideSpaceMountain said...

"put baby chickens and mice in the blender to feed his hawks."

What kind of terrible person would do that instead of letting them be slowly eaten alive. Notice how she doesn't mention that they were probably already dead as most keepers typically do...that doesn't support the narrative.

“put baby chickens and mice in the blender to feed his hawks."

Reminds me of the Bass-O-Matic.

Wince said...

Will she appear to testify or just the poison pen?

John henry said...

Who does Jr think he is, Glenn Reynolds?

(accused of putting puppies in a blender. Probably falsely)

I'm sure if the Hawk were alive, he could be a character witness for Bobby

RCOCEAN II said...

So, doesn't Caroline Kennedy support Genocide in Gaza, killing "Ruskiees" in Ukraine, and late term abortions? Really. I'm supposed to believe she was upset at mice and chicks being fed to a Hawk.

Really? Maybe Bobby should fed it dead babies. Then Caroline would've felt OK.

RCOCEAN II said...

I suppose you could call Bobby a reformed chickenhawk.

le Douanier said...

So the gal is from the big-time branch of the family. One point for her.

The dude has had for his entire life, and now still has more rizz than the gal. So a point for him.

The tie breaker is that she seems more likable and he seems like a dipshit (is that what you folks in flyover States call it?). IOW, I'm for the plain looking gal that is related to King Arthur.

And the RFK Jr. hit pieces just keep on coming.

They sure are terrified of RFK jr.

From the people who still support Fauci.

While we're on the subject, what does Big Pharma do to animals? How about Big Animal Ag?

Jeez, I agree with her about his awful attitudes toward childhood vaccines, but even I find her intra-family infighting repellent.

Leland said...

Wait until they find out what people did to beagles through grants given under direction of Dr. Fauci.

Just an old country lawyer said...

Don't forget Fauci and the poor beagles.

R C Belaire said...

They're both Kennedys, correct? Having issues of some sort or the other seems to be genetic.

JRoberts said...

I can’t/won’t understand is all the pro-family/pro-life people who are so supportive of Mr. Spouse abuser, supporter of abortion until birth RFK Jr.

rehajm said...

I support him then, just like Ann…

rehajm said...

Soory, If you have a carnivore as a pet…

tommyesq said...

Didn't Fauci lock Beagle puppies' heads in cages to let them be eaten by flies? Is her problem that RFK Jr. wasn't cruel enough?

Dogma and Pony Show said...

Dorm room? He's 70.

I don't believe what I am hearing. My gosh, growing up I was told all the Kennedys were saints.

"Bobby continues to grandstand off my father’s assassination, and that of his own father..."

If it weren't for Lee Harvey Oswald, no one would give a rat's ass about filthy rich filthy liar Caroline Kennedy.

Michael Fitzgerald said...

No, bro. She's a libtard, she's wearing keffiyeh, waving the terrorists flag, and crying about the piece of shit terrorists that are being killed while she repeats Terrorist propaganda about tens of thousands of innocent children dying.

A blend of celebrity and dysfunction

NorthOfTheOneOhOne said...

His basement, his garage, and his dorm room were the centers of the action where drugs were available...

Yeah, like Caroline never dropped a quaalude back in the 70's!

Leland said...

I'm going to enjoy watching the progressives in the Democrat party portraying a Kennedy as a far-right extremist. If RFK Jr. is as crazy as Democrats want to portray him, then the best damage they could do to Trump would be putting RFK Jr. in Trump's cabinet.

Dixcus said...

Just around the corner will be the Bergdorf-Goodman rape.

boatbuilder said...

Well, now the big secret is out. Bobby Kennedy Jr. ...did drugs!! Who knew?

Iman said...

But… but… but Camelot.

gspencer said...

"Bobby preys on the desperation of parents of sick [inner city] children — vaccinating [private schooling] his own children while building a following [in the teachers unions] by hypocritically discouraging other parents from vaccinating theirs [leaving the public schools].... "

A true Democrat. "Do as I say not as I do." Caroline and the Chappaquiddick Swimmer did the same.

rehajm said...

I thought the drugs were a requirement as a Kennedy? I kid…but since when have Democrats used Democrat’s drug use to question their qualification for office? Never. Trump breaking more norms…

Leland said...

She’s known him her whole life and had nothing to do with him over the last 50 years. That makes her a key witness.

gspencer said...

Her "like," "you know" interview showed that something happened upstairs. Every sentence was a "you know" display of Kennedy stupidity.

I just saw a video of Caroline on X. Why oh why do these cretins all look the exact same way?

Mikey NTH said...

Been years since I have heard about the puppy blending.

rhhardin said...

Dersh takes down Caroline Kennedy.

Levi Starks said...

The hate is palpable

Cacimbo said...

What a pathetic statement by Caroline. She never spoke about her Uncle killing a woman and supported his multiple re-election campaigns. Never spoke out against her other relatives accused of rape or convicted of murder. Did not speak out when Bobby ran for President as a Democrat. But now - going to work for a Republican. That is where a Kennedy draws the line - party above all including family.

Breezy said...

"Bobby continues to grandstand off my father’s assassination, and that of his own father..."

Her father and uncle were US President and US Attorney General and candidate. They are more than just your relatives.

Btw, her son is unbelievably toxic. Wonder why.

Breezy said...

If you bungle raising your children, I don't think whatever else you
do matters very much.

Enigma said...

Regression to the mean. Without the family name Caroline would be working in a bookstore somewhere.

Jaq said...

I wasn't aware that all of the meat I eat came from animals that had to be killed for it.

William said...

She lists his sins, and they are considerable. What at long last drove her to the breaking point? It was his support of Donald Trump. All of this dirty linen would have gone with her to the grave had he not committed this supreme offense......If Kamala had made a Hail Mary pass and enlisted RFK Jr's support, do you think Caroline would have said any of this?

Wa St Blogger said...

Caroline not so sweet.

Wa St Blogger said...

"His basement, his garage, and his dorm room were the centers of the action where drugs were available..."

The choom gang nods approvingly.

Bob Boyd said...

There's nothing new about a Kennedy having a sordid history with drugs and chicks, but mice? That's for servants and cats.

Prof. M. Drout said...

RFK Jr has been in the public eye for what, 50 freakin' years? And it's just TODAY that the garbage Kennedy family finds it absolutely essential to screech?
Was Blasey-Ford with her fake little-girl voice not available to claim that RFK imaginarily assaulted her?

MadTownGuy said...

Caroline, No.

pacwest said...

I'd be happy to see Jr out on his ear, but a petty family squabble isn't the reason. Hegseth and Gabbard fall in the same category for me. I don't think they are capable if the heavy lifting required. But I learned not to prejudice Trump's instincts. More power to them.

Aggie said...

Gosh, it's a good thing he wasn't elected President, then.

Aggie said...

Dershowitz mentions the Patrick Kennedy (Teddy's kid) has endorsed Junior'. It sounds like Caroline has made herself a little toxic, but has the money to self-isolate - not as if she's doing us any favors.

Darkisland said...

Aggie,

Many people forget that the Kennedy family had more money than God. PJ Started the run with his tavern, Somerset Liquor Distribution and political connections. That gave Joe senior a good foothold but he was a Warren Buffett of his age. He made so much money that no matter how hard they have tried and no matter how much they bred, the children, grandchildren and greats have not been able to piss it away yet.

Not for lack of trying and they have made a pretty good dent in the fortune. But there is still plenty left.

Want to tax the rich? Go after the Kennedys.

Hawks eat whole animals. Why would he put them in a blender? Was that to feed hawk chicks whose parents abandoned them? If so any pinkies you are feeding predator animals would likely be frozen. So she is implying he is throwing live animals in a blender when he was likely chopping up thawed animals to create a slurry for baby hawks. What a POS. He should sue her for defamation.

JaimeRoberto said...

He's acknowledged that he had a drug problem, and that his kids are vaccinated despite his reputation. I guess the news here is that he fed his pet hawk.

RMc said...

Thread over. Please drive safely.

ThatsGoingToLeaveA said...

Dorm room? Like in college 40 years ago?

JAORE said...

I took part in a falconry experience in Ireland a few years ago. I rewarded my bird when he returned. It was a chopped up mouse. No blender, but that could be due to Caroline's mean spirited, poetic license....or ignorance.

mccullough said...

The falcon cannot hear the drug-addled, mice-blending, anti-vaccine falconer

Tortillapete said...

I'm just 18 months younger than Caroline, and after viewing that video I'm feeling younger still...

Jupiter said...

Can you quote something he said, or wrote, that exemplifies this "awful attitude"? Or is it perchance that you are sure he must have said and written many terrible things, because the lying liars who always lie for Big Pharma have assured you that it is so?

Christopher B said...

Not Fauci directly, IIRC, but something that seemed to be a pretty odd test. Also was something likely not to be sanctioned in the US that was conducted overseas.

Jupiter said...

It's a big tent.

Iman said...

Kennedy - warts and all - is without question more qualified than that clown Xavier Bercerra or his shim assistant.

Clyde said...

Caroline, no.

Jupiter said...

I suppose that she and all the rest are dreading four long years of all their rich Commie friends screeching at them about the latest awful thing he's done. That could really spoil your social life.

There is a good argument for a 100% inheritance tax, but it would destroy the economy.

"His basement, his garage, and his dorm room." I had a dorm room with two others, no basement, my '68 VW beetle was on the street.

Michael Fitzgerald said...

Ted Kennedy was a Democrat Party senator for how many years, 50? The Kennedy Crime Family is the Grandaddy of Democrat Party crime families, waaaaay more competent and greedy than the trailer trash Bidens who made hundreds of millions during Creepy Joe's 50 year career. Ted K replenished the family coffers with hundreds of millions of corrupt and stolen money, maybe Billions.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

In fairness, RFK jr is new to the vaccine question.

Butkus51 said...

She went full Maddow.

Goldenpause said...

Caroline outs herself as a loyal Democrat operative and a terrible close relative. Care to bet whether she actually composed the letter all by herself?

Steve said...

Michael Skakel and Teddy Kennedy straight up killed people and the clan closed ranks around them. I guess we've finally found something the Kennedys just can't defend.

Big Mike said...

You mean she is telling us that she and the other children of JFK, RFK, and Teddy did drugs? Just like any other rich, pampered, under-brained but overprivileged young people? I am so gobsmacked.

Tom T. said...

He made up a statistic that the HPV vaccine kills 10 times as many people than the cancer it prevents. (Or 37 times as many -- he's made up different numbers at different times). No evidence for any such number; just made up.

He has argued against the polio vaccine, making false claims about what's in it and completely fabricating a cancer risk that multiple studies have not found.

He has argued that measles can be treated with vitamin A and chicken soup. He pitched the Samoan government to let babies go unvaccinated against measles as a control group; 83 of them died. He now tries to act like he never talked to anyone in Samoan, because he's an unprincipled coward.

And of course he pushed the bedrock religious belief of the anti-vaxxers, that vaccination somehow causes autism. No theory, no mechanism, no evidence, no answer for the multiple studies showing no correlation, but he insisted that it was there somewhere.

Drago said...

What did Ted Kennedy say to Mary Jo Kopechne when she told him she might be pregnant?

"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it."

Ted Kennedy, the New Soviet Democratucals hero and "Lion of the Senate"...who literally sent an emissary to Soviet leadership (Andropov) to beg for support in working together against Reagan.

A literal quid pro quo.

A la Gen Milley and his ChiCom pals lining up against Trump and America.

Breezy said...

AFAIK, Bobby is against vaccines that have not been rigorously tested and deemed safe for people or groups of people. He’s not against vaccines in general. He believes Big Pharma can’t be trusted. It’s a completely reasonable position. Does Caroline really think that’s crazy, and so much so that Bobby should be denied this post?

Big Mike said...

One wonders. Why was the Kopechne family forced to cremate their daughter?

Kakistocracy said...

The issues of vaccines is a bit more nuanced that captured by most comments. There have been vaccines released with measureable mortality, only caught by observing 100,000+ patients after approvals, then leading to their withdrawal. So you have the difficult problem of whether those risks can be balanced against the irrefutable benefits of vaccines for smallpox, polio, measles etc -- which also involve herd immunity so that the risks of reinfection (even for the unvaccinated) are much reduced.

Kennedy is clearly an opportunistic money-focused anti-vaxxer now openly shown by his retention of fees from lawsuits which he intends to keep in office, and has NO interest in the potential scientific development. testing and improvement of this class of therapeutics.

He qualifies as a major public health hazard, not a HHS head.

Joe Bar said...

That's a pretty horrible thing for a family member to do. Now matter how you feel about a member's views, to attempt sabotage like this is reprehensible.

Chris said...

TomT. Can you name these studies that haven't found any risk with polio vaccines? Can you explain the huge uptick in Autism in this country? Can you explain why pharmaceutical companies are working so hard to hide vaccine injury? I know a couple whos son nearly died from the polio vaccine.

Chris said...

They do not eat whole animals. They tear them appart piece by piece.

mikee said...

Nobody can more dangerously focus on reform than a reformed addict. That they are pants-fillingly scared is fully justfied. There is a YUGE gravy train of government grants about to be run right off the tracks into the ditch.

Iman said...

Caroline Kennedy is one of those “honest brokers” who stood on stage and extolled the virtues of Joe Biden… how he was at the top of his game, sharp as a tack, yada yada…

‘nuff said…

Skeptical Voter said...

There's a writer over on Substack who says Caroline Kennedy is the reason he's ot longer a Democrat. Caroline has become simply a defender of the Establishment.
Sixty-five years ago a corrupt (former rum runner) wealthy politician from Massachusetts bought a presidency for one of his sons. I'm not dissing JFK-he was a moderately successful president--and a world class philanderer. But that was 65 years ago now, and the Kennedy clan has been riding on reflected glory ever since. Enough with the Kennedy mystique, and that includes RFK Jr. who should be judged on his own merits or lack thereof as if his name were Joe Jones.

JIM said...

Didn't Democrats enthusiastically confirm Buuty, Mayorkas, and Bacerra to cabinet positions they had zero qualifications for except some executive experience? They revel in their hypocrisy and wear it as a badge of honor.

Rusty said...

Who didn't. Amiright?

Stab! Stab! Stab!

Caroline's brother had addiction issues too.

IamDevo said...

I have plenty of reasons to dislike Kennedy, his position on gun conrol and abortion being among the most prominent. But there is one, overwhelmingly significant reason I support him: Trump nominated him.

NKP said...

I always thought Caroline looked a lot more like Bobby than Jack. It would be amusing if Jr. was actually her brother. Those wild and crazy Kennedy Boys seemed to have a way with women...
