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."

Right? So they’re NOT disappointed that uncle Ted left a woman to die by drowning, had a cousin who raped a woman on the beach in Florida or NUMEROUS other crimes??? Hokay. I guess democrat families think none of that is horrible but a Kennedy endorsement for Trump is their line in the sand?

Sick people. Always have been.

“”But they are unable to recite a thing RFK Jr. said. Instead, their condemnation amount to no more than a plea for robotic, mindless party loyalty.””

That would appear to be the case. Good for RFK, Jr....Independent thinkers is what the country needs - not robots!

He has sisters who didn’t make the best choices in life so I hope they’re keeping their displeasure at his decision to themselves.

Those siblings are too young to remember the real Democrat Party. RFK Jr. would not be considered weird by his dad or his uncle.

The RAT party today is a hell of a lot different than the Democrats in 68. They need to blow it out their ying yangs.

His voice is caused by a neurological medical problem named Spasmodic dysphonia. It isn’t something he can fix.

I guess that they had no problem with RFK Jr getting railroaded out the race by the democrat party. And no problem with those corrupt progressive judges taking him off from the ballot in NY. His own sibling are just fine with all of that coming from the party they support all the way to hell.

Just remembered this quote in the NY Post from back in April:

“I think some of his siblings are jealous of him. Imagine if this happened in the Corleone family. The Kennedy siblings are all Fredos...”

I guess they don’t harbor any suspicion about what happened to the other Kennedy who died in a small plane crash while running against Hillary Clinton for a Senate seat in New York. Maybe they both weren’t running at the time but they both wanted to run and his run ended suddenly.

...He has a throat condition that causes spasms and strains his vocal cords...

I think that makes him into an incredibly gutsy man. Politicians live by talking and to choose such a profession with his handicap only makes me like him more. That he choose to toss aside his Party because he preferred to side with the truth only makes me like him still more. I would not vote for him, but only because of where he stands on the issues, otherwise he is the rarest thing I know , a Democrat with an honest Character.

It is better to READ his speech rather than hear him say it so here it is in all of its glorious truth:

I'm disappointed to hear that. What he did today, however, certainly took courage and integrity. Only Jesus was perfect.

King David was a deeply flawed man too.
