I cannot stand the way this evil Kennedy family is idolized
I think Ted was evil. Not Hitler evil, but he certainly seemed to hate the America he grew up in.
Not sure about Bobby as I don’t know enough about him. But he seemed like a zealot and the zeal with which he pursed the Mafia probably helped to get JFK killed (though I doubt that was Bobby’s intent).
Probably the best Kennedy was Joe and he died in WWII.
Too me the Kennedy's are a bunch of spoiled self-entitled brats ! Their only principles was whatever was necessary to get elected and keep the public worshiping them. That includes JFK, the one exception in his life was his behavior post 109 sinking. However getting them into that scrape would have gotten a person from a normal background court martialed or at least sent home in disgrace.
Fat Ted - add drunk to entitled spoiled etc.
RFK - political chameleon went from a protégé of Roy Cohn (and Joe McCarthy who was a friend of the family !) to darling of the left without batting an eyelash.
Heck they were all political chameleons, Ted was once pro-life ! But their worshippers don't care they're Kennedys and that's all that matters !
Their kids same character or I should say lack-of-character traits. Just add serial substance abusers & hubris toward the elements (weather!).
Evil ? Maybe the father - old Joe . After all he was a Boston Irish mobster who made it big & when in public cleaned up nicely !
