Lightfoot hits Kennedy compound to oversee wedding of RFK’s grandson
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | 7/31/2021 | Michael Sneed

Here ye!

Mayor Lori Lightfoot took time out last weekend for the perfect place to cool off from the city heat: officiating at the wedding of Chris Kennedy, grandson of the late, great Robert F. Kennedy, and his bride, Erin Daigle, at the legendary Kennedy family compound in Hyannis Port, Maine.

“Chris and Erin were supposed to get married last July 24 ... but COVID shut that down,” said the very proud father of the groom, former Illinois gubernatorial candidate Chris Kennedy, who raised his branch of the Kennedy clan on Chicago’s North Shore, where his wife, Sheila, grew up.

Lightfoot and the groom connected during his father’s race in 2018, before she became mayor, and has become a close family friend of the Kennedys.

“They met during my campaign and became kindred spirits,” Kennedy said.

“By the way, my son Chris and the mayor both have this in common: They like to fight above their weight; have a deep sense of social justice; and have never met anyone they are afraid of!”

This is actually the second time the mayor, a lawyer, was the officiant at the couple’s nuptials.

Last weekend’s ceremony “gave the mayor the opportunity to marry them twice, the first time last December at City Hall,” Kennedy chuckled. The couple had put off a family-style wedding until it was pandemic safe to travel.(snip)

On the political side, Sneed is told several Kennedy family members preparing for U.S. ambassadorships in the Biden administration (Vicki Kennedy to Austria and Caroline Kennedy to Australia) were there — as well as celeb Kennedy wives like actress Cheryl “Curb Your Enthusiasm” Hines, who was the TV wife of actor Larry David and is married to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

The “Kennedy worship” of what calls itself the “mainstream press” continues. And they have marry them the congenital idiot who calls herself the “mayor of Chicago” but is doing her best to destroy what remains of it.

I’m actually a bit surprised by this. The bride and groom are white. And Mayor Lightfoot doesn’t like to talk to white people. Maybe she used hand signals or something similar instead.

Goes to show, the Democrat Establishment has no problem with Lightfoot and her epic failures, public racism, etc.

This idiot won’t speak to white reporters but will allow herself to be used a a prop so the Kennedy’s can appear to be “Antirascist”

Laughable.

What kind of twisted people would have her preside over a wedding? Clearly, people void or spiritual and moral values.

Hyannis Port, Maine.

Pisspoor editing. The Kennedys aren't Down Easters. They are Massholes.

The press kept up their slobbering love affair with the Kennedys through all their criminal and immoral acts. Now, however, I really think it’s expired simply for lack of any even marginally interesting meme bets of the clan.

I’m sure this couple is very nice. Undoubtedly lib idiot fools,
But nice. My question is why they would choose to ruin their wedding photos with Lightfoot’s ugly mug, when undoubtedly there were any number of other prominent hacks who would have been happy to do the honors

I wouldn’t have thought that the Mayor of Chicago would have the authority to perform a wedding in Massachusetts.

Why did this couple not have a Roman Catholic wedding, with a priest presiding?

The problem of the “press” is that JFK was killed 58 years ago, Bobby 53 years ago. The “magic” that the media used to promote and constantly lie about died about 30 years after they did; the current generations (under 40) really don’t know about them and don’t care either; its sort of like promoting a cult of William McKinley to them. And there is nothing about the rising Kennedys that is either magnetic nor interesting.

Definitely safer in Hyannis Port than Chicago. However, Hyannis Port is located in the Cape Cod peninsula of MA, not ME as the Chicago-Sun reports. On the other hand, Cape Cod has experienced a wave of CoV Delta, which the media proudly declare has mostly infected fully vaccinated people. Alas, I digress...

The cool of the Kennedy's allowing a murderess officiate their wedding. How blacks have been murdered under Lightfoot’s reign of terror?

Lightbrain probably went on a private jet so she wouldn’t have to put on a mask.
