Editor’s Note: In November 1979, Senator Edward Kennedy seemed poised to seize the Democratic nomination for president from incumbent Jimmy Carter. But the aura of inevitability was dispelled when questions were once again raised about the fatal car crash at Chappaquiddick ten years before that left long-time Kennedy-clan campaign worker Mary Jo Kopechne dead in a submerged car off a one-lane bridge near Martha’s Vineyard. Kennedy, who had been behind the wheel of the car, escaped to safety and, for reasons never convincingly explained, waited ten hours to report the incident.

Ted Kennedy was untouchable.
The democrats have some nerve finger pointing at alleged moral wrongdoing by republicans in light of him, Bill the rapist Clinton, and Joe shower with his 12 year old daughter biden, just to name a few.
B🪦den pal. “Loyalist”
They already killed 2 Kennedys, this was just a reminder to ol Teddy to stay a senator and not try for the gold ring.
He got drunk
He drove off the bridge
He left her to drown, sentenced her to death
His family covered for him
That’s it.
The best explanation I have seen for this is that Mary Jo kicked Kennedy out of the car when he made a pass at her, and drove off the bridge herself, alone. Kennedy went back to the party and got taken to town without knowing what happened to her. They decided that it was best if he made up the story about him driving off the bridge.
Wasn't her body found in the passenger seat?
She was found in the back of the car, where an air pocket had formed.
This is what tge news is going to be like for at least a while. This is not a story. Not a topic of discussion not a mystery
They have no candidate Trump to hate on. No Trump crimes. No Trump family dirt. Nothing
Some half assed gossip about how Trump thought of desantis spelled wrong.
When the bad guys start getting orange jumpsuits the news will be so starved it will have no choice but to cover it.
CFP just headlined Jon Benet Ramsey
What will the 24 h news cycle look like a year from now
Not much to talk about.
Yep
I don’t think he was ever in the car.
No way he could have swam out
She drove it into the water.
He was walking behind and don’t think he even knew what had happened
Don’t forget about the vile behavior of Jeffrey Epstein, P. Diddy and Harvey Weinstein.
?CFP?
That’s exactly what happened.
The idea that he drove off the bridge then had the composure to roll down the window while upside down get out is impossible.
I think he told her to drive to the beach and hed meet her there.
Not seeing the car he may have assumed she drove home.
I don’t think he knew what had happened until the next day
No
Back window
Why would he say he was the driver? He said his window was rolled down, so why wouldn’t he be able to swim out? What’s strange is why wasn’t she able to swim out of the same window, especially if he tried to retrieve her?
She might have been disoriented.
Did he really try to retrieve her? He didn’t make any attempt to call the police.
Citizen free press.
Reminds me of a bumper sticker a family member had at that time: “More people died in Ted Kennedy’s car than in nuclear power plants.”
