Kennedy family in turmoil over RFK Jr.'s Trump endorsement
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s sister Kerry Kennedy cannot agree with her brother's endorsement of Donald Trump in the upcoming U.S. presidential election. "I am outraged and disgusted," she said, distancing herself from Robert Kennedy Jr.
Kerry Kennedy, sister of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., sharply criticized her brother's decision to support Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate.
The statement on Sunday’s MSNBC program expressed deep disappointment and opposition to her brother's actions, emphasizing that they are contrary to the values their father, Senator, and U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, fought for throughout his life.
"I am outraged and disgusted," said Kerry, distancing herself from Robert Kennedy Jr.
The Kennedy family, associated with the Democratic Party for several generations, strongly distances itself from Trump's support.
Kerry Kennedy also expressed her strong support for Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, emphasizing the importance of the upcoming election for America and how Donald Trump is a significant threat to basic freedoms.
According to Kerry, her brother Robert's actions are in stark contrast to their father's legacy and to RFK Jr.'s life choices, especially regarding his environmental efforts, which seem diametrically opposed to the policies proposed by Trump.
Kennedy made a decision
A few days ago, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent candidate for President of the USA, announced that he was suspending his campaign. Kennedy filed documents in Pennsylvania indicating his withdrawal from the White House race. During a press conference, he announced that he would support Donald Trump for re-election.
"These are the principal causes that persuaded me to leave the Democratic Party and run as an independent, and now to throw my support to President Trump," said Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
As Kennedy said during his speech, he made his decision because the Democratic Party, from which he originally came, "has become the party of war, censorship," and large corporations, and "in trying to save democracy, they have dismantled it." He justified his support for Trump with the issues of "freedom of speech, the war in Ukraine, and the war against our children."
