RFK Jr.’s Siblings Call Trump Endorsement a ‘Betrayal’ of Their Dad’s Values: ‘A Sad Ending to a Sad Story’
People ^ | 8/23/24 | Kyler Alward

Moments after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his independent presidential bid and endorsed Republican candidate Donald Trump, members of his famous Democratic family weighed in with words of disappointment.

In a scathing joint statement released on Friday, Aug. 23, five of Bobby's siblings — who are all children of the late U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy — publicly distanced themselves from his decision to join forces with Trump less than one year after leaving the Democratic Party.

"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 statement reads. "We believe in [Kamala] Harris and [Tim] Walz."

Fortunately, RFK, Jr. is willing to put principle above party, unlike these siblings. The current Marxist-tinged, corrupt Democrat party is antithetical in many ways to the party of John and Bobby Kennedy. Thank God Bobby Jr. was brave enough to stand strong against today’s Democrat party, the embodiment of the current oppressive system that has done so much to crush him and anyone who opposes them.

No big deal. His family kicked him to the curb long ago because he didn’t toe the line, and he dared to entertain ideas outside of the RAT box.

Must be hard to swallow knowing that their father worked for Sen Joe McCarthy
Oh the horror! A Kennedy supporting a Republican.
That’s right RFK Sr was working for Joe McCarthy and owes mist of his political start to Sen McCarthy.

Yes. She was also the founder of the Special Olympics. Her family’s support for abortion would break her heart.

“Sure sounds like his family is betraying him.”

They did that a long time ago. He’s a pariah, like Dershowitz.

It’s a shame that the other siblings are such mindless party hacks, putting party above principle, country and even family.
They dishonor their father, who actually was not a party hack like them. Let’s not forget that RFK was a friend and staff member of Sen Joe McCarthy, R-WI. Hell, Joe McCarthy was Kathleen’s godfather.

Kerry is an alcoholic who was married to Andrew Cuomo, Kathleen is a minor Democrat politician, Courtney married an IRA leader, and Rory makes documentary films that are almost always slanted left. Not sure what Christopher has going on, but they’re all partisan democrats and incapable of thinking for themselves.

You beat me to it. They literally recited the DNC talking points heard everywhere.

"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 statement reads. "We believe in [Kamala] Harris and [Tim] Walz."

Definition of a NPC.

This business about the “values” of a prospective leader’s ancestors really should stop.

The problems of 2024 are not the problems of 1968 or 1963.
