‘Betrayal’: RFK’s Family Slams Decision to Endorse Trump
Breitbart ^ | 08/23/2024 | Wendell Husebø

The family of former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ripped his decision to endorse former President Donald Trump on Friday.

“We want an America filled with hope and bound together by a shared vision of a brighter future, a future defined by individual freedom, economic promise and national pride,” the family said in a statement.

“We believe in Harris and Walz. Our brother Bobby’s decision to endorse Trump today is a betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear. It is a sad ending to a sad story,” they said:

Kennedy endorsed Trump the day after the Democratic National Convention ended and following financial woes.

Earlier in August, a report indicated he would endorse Harris, but Kennedy immediately released a statement denying the report.

Anyone person has the right to speak for themselves and maybe if the Democratic party hadn’t gone so so far to the left, this endorsement wouldn’t have happened.

In other words, the rest of the Kennedy clan are all in with fascism.

The Kennedy’s are a rat pack of jumped up Irish bog people. The Kenedy’s came from criminal scum and criminal scum most of them remain.

Harris a total empty suit and wouldn’t be running anything if she got elected just like Biden.

Anybody who “believes in” Harris and Walz is betraying our country. Shame on them.

The Democrats repeat the same talking points and phrases endlessly. Current favorite is “a bright future”.
What about the previous miserable four years under the demented one and his cackling sidekick? What about that, huh?
Oh yeah, the memory hole, and to bring up the facts is thoughtcrime.

If they win again by hook or by crook, we are finished as a free nation. I’ll see all you good folks in the camps. God help us!!

Just remember Teddy’s campaign slogan: “A blonde in every pond!”

RFK Jr. may be an a-hole (check his wiki under personal life), but he’s our a-hole now and I hope he fights like hell.

He clearly knew this would be the reaction, he said so in his speech.

But - he did it anyway. Because he is a man who puts his values and beliefs above party or politics - and that includes family politics. Besides, since when have the Kennedys really been in favor of anything that is right and good? RFK Jr. is clearly the exception - I’m sure it won’t belong before Caroline sues him to stop using the term “uncles”...

Hopefully November will bring news that will compensate for a cold-war Thanksgiving in Hyannis Port!

This is the same family that chose Biden over RFK Jr.

What a great family.

Couldn’t just say they disagree.

They have to vent their spleens and insult a family member.

May a leprechaun piss in their beer and knock a knob on their pates.

I don’t see Ted’s name on that list. The name means nothing to the under 50 crowd other than east coast elitists.
