On This Day in History: Democrat Ted Kennedy Killed an Innocent Woman and Got Away With It

Never Forget: Mary Jo Kopechne drowned July 19, 1969

What happened: On this day (July 19) in 1969, Mary Jo Kopechne drowned in Sen. Ted Kennedy's (D., Mass.) car after the notorious philandering boozehound drove it off a bridge on Chappaquiddick island.

What happened next: Nothing. Kennedy, the youngest brother of former president John F. Kennedy, fled the scene of the accident, which likely occurred sometime after midnight. He did not report it to police until 10 a.m. the following day.

• The Democratic scion faced no meaningful consequences for his actions and would go on to serve four more decades in the U.S. Senate until his death in 2009.

• Even in the post-#MeToo era, Democrats generally regard him as a legendary figure worthy of reverence and respect. The Kennedy family featured prominently at the 2020 Democratic National Convention, as did notorious sex pest Bill Clinton.

He also was the sponsor of the “HMO Act if 1974”. Step #1 in eventual government run Healthcare. I’m not sure if it was Nixon or Ford that signed the bill.

I often think of Mary Jo Kopechne.

I was born in the mid-70s and yet I often think of her lovingly.

I have been to where she was killed.

Never get into a car or a plane with a Kennedy.

Kennedys

Can’t Drive
Can’t Fly
Can’t Ski
Can’t Skipper a boat

But they know what’s best for us!

Mary Jo: Ted, I’m pregnant. What are we gonna do?
Ted: Well, Mary Jo, I guess we’ll just have to cross that bridge when we come to it.

“Or halfway cross that bridge,” thought the Loin of the Senate.

Remember the scene from the original “CSI” where Gil Grissom looks at a posed body in an elevator and sardonically says,”this is as phony as a Chappaquiddick neck brace?”

Kennedy walked past several occupied homes that had lights on.

My dad always said “John got a man on the moon. Ted couldn’t get a woman across a bridge.”

All on the same weekend.
