Carol Platt Liebau: RFK’s Country Before Party "A Bridge Too Far"
Manage episode 437602271 series 3343739
It was a sight few Americans thought we’d live to see. A Kennedy endorsed a Republican. Yes: Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. endorsed Donald Trump.
It’s not our parents’ Democratic Party—and RFK was effective in driving that point home. He called out the Democratic Party as “the party of war, censorship, corruption, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Ag and Big Money.”
It enraged five of his siblings, who promptly denounced their brother. It’s remarkable that this is what finally broke the family code of silence.
Generations of Kennedys have remained discreet and loyal, even as JFK and RFK Sr. exploited Marilyn Monroe and Ted Kennedy left Mary Joe Kopechne to drown in a car at Chappaquiddick.
How shameful after all their other scandals that, for the Kennedys, it’s only RFK’s decision to put country before party that’s finally “a bridge too far.”
