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.
im surprised the left haven’t demanded a ted kennedy national holiday
Ole Teddy can’t hold a candle to the Clintons death list.
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!
LOL!
That crime while terrible seems very small compared to the daily crimes democrats are involved with nowadays
Hear put this neck brace on we need to hold you up as a victim never mind the dead girl. Fat head ted was to first “victim” in a victimized society to come. Murderer much like the kkk leader senator byrd they embraced and kissed his a## all those years, hypocrite fighters for black people
Democrats kill.
Odd that Marry Jo left her keys and purse behind..and told no one she was leaving the party. SO, was she blind stinking drunk or did teddy force her into his car? Teddy was a pig...so....
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.
All on the same weekend.
