On This Day in History: Democrat Ted Kennedy Killed an Innocent Woman and Got Away With It

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.

Got away with it. Look at what the unions did to her family to help get him off the hook.

POTUS Trump should pardon Sirhan Sirhan on the anniversary of Chappaquiddik. Not related but the swimmer needs to be have the truth to his legacy put out. Trump coda done it in 2019-the 50th anniversary. I like round numbers.

I have a friend who went to UVA with Ted. I asked him if there was anything good he could say about him. His response: “Well, he threw great parties.”

Everybody needs to know how to use their feet and legs to kick out side or rear windows in a submerged car. You have little time to do it, too.

My dad always said “John got a man on the moon. Ted couldn’t get a woman across a bridge.”

Mary Jo: Ted, I’m pregnant!
Ted: (Whack! Whack! Whack!) Mary Jo? (Thinking to himself: This slut bitch has to go.)
Mary Jo (having trouble breathing): Ted?
Ted (Thinking to himself, what would John do? What would Bobby do? They had the secret service to take care of Marylin and others. Damn! I have to do this myself. I know, the bridge!)
Splash!
Ted (Thinking to himself, that ought to take care of Mary ‘ho’!)

I read that book on it..Chapadiwick or something. Shameful.

The lousy bastard went to a motel and slept through the night after her death then went to authorities the next morning. Obviously to sleep off a drunk.

The rest is history, he changed or immigration laws and thus the country forever.

Yes, Dead Ted got away with murder. But so does Jao Xiden who essentially killed servicemen on the Afghanistan withdrawal. I get vomit in my throat thinking that murdering POS has a spot in Arlington, let’s hope they keep that dementia-riddled pathological and serial liar out of that special place reserved for real heroes.

If you’ve ever driven or walked across that “bridge”, you’ll know he’s guilty as hell, which ironically, is probably where he is right now.
