If Abraham Lincoln and Christopher Columbus no longer pass woke muster in Boston, then it’s time for the Kennedys to go.
And everything with their names plastered on it — the JFK Library and JFK federal building, his statue at the State House, the Kennedy School of Government across the river, the Rose Kennedy Greenway, the Edward M. Kennedy Whatever They Call It, etc.
Everything must go!
Profiles in Courage? The Kennedys were more like Profiles in Caucasity, as that woke Harvard gal said this week before she too got canceled.
Let’s start with President Kennedy. Just for starters, he believed in tax cuts (“a rising tide lifts all boats”). He was a Cold Warrior (“the long twilight struggle”). He wasn’t into welfare and reparations (“Ask not what your country can do for you … .”).
He palled around with Sen. Joe McCarthy. When Nixon ran for the Senate in 1950, JFK gave him a grand in cash. His best friend in Congress was George Smathers, an arch-segregationist from Florida.
JFK didn’t hate Jews the way his father and his brother Bobby did, but wasn’t real down for the civil rights struggle. He wouldn’t let Sammy Davis Jr. perform at his inauguration.
His top supporter in the South was Alabama Gov. John Patterson, who won his election holding up a giant photo of Arkansas cops beating blacks in Little Rock, Ark., and telling his supporters, “When I’m elected, this is what we’ll have in Alabama.”
Patterson was so incorrigibly racist that in 1960, when Jackie Robinson realized who JFK had thrown in with, he endorsed Nixon for president.
And let’s not forget — JFK tried to kill Fidel Castro, patron saint of all looters and statue-smashers. As his vice president Lyndon Baines Johnson later told CBS of the Kennedys’ efforts:

I think the EMK Institute got its start from DOD funds, thanks to JF’nK.
God forbid the Kennedys pay for anything themselves.

USS Oldsmobile?
I’ve never understood the American obsession & love affair with this family. Drunken, corrupt murderers rapists & thieves. And they walk away from it all because of their name & their money.
There never was anything to admire or respect them about.
Why do you think A.O.C. promoted Markey instead of Kennedy? Why did she care about the Massachusetts races anyway, she is from New York. After pondering this it occurred to me that maybe she has BIG ambitions for her future, such as the Presidency. Markey is older and will be retiring fairly soon, Kennedy however is young, attractive and has the the gold standard of political legacies. Kennedy is a likely choice for presidency some day so it looks like Alexandria is thinking far into the future.
