Caroline Kennedy attacks 'predator' RFK Jr.
[NYPOST] The daughter of former President John F. Kennedy is speaking out against Health and Human Services Secretary designate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., lambasting her cousin as a "predator" with "dangerous" views on vaccination who is "unqualified to fill" the role.

Former US Ambassador to Australia Caroline Kennedy strongly urged senators in a video message posted on X to reject President Trump’s nominee, the day before the first of two high-stakes Senate hearings.

"He lacks any relevant government, financial, management or medical experience. His views on vaccines are dangerous and willfully misinformed," Kennedy said, reading her missive to members of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, who will quiz RFK Jr. on Thursday. "These facts alone should be disqualifying, but he has personal qualities related to this job, which for me pose even greater concern."

"It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets, because Bobby himself is a predator," added the former first daughter. "He’s always been charismatic, able to attract others through the strength of his personality, his willingness to take risks and break the rules."

That included, Caroline Kennedy claimed, other siblings and cousins following RFK Jr., a recovered heroin user, down the dark path of addiction to "illness and death."
Completely ignoring the Kennedys who preceded your generation down that well-trodden path, dear girl, reaping the benefits of entirely too much money and not nearly enough character.

Wow. Come up with that all on your own, or watching some Agatha All Along?

An Obama Product, serving in Japan during those days, and Australia under the Brandon residency. A cog who has earned her face.

#7 I'm curious, what kind of birds? Like, is she saying he is a charismatic, virile dude totally into raptors?

Doesn't say in wiki, because it is a 20 page hit job which sounds like it was written by a mid 40s white woman.

If Ted Kennedy had driven a Volkswagen, he would have been President.
