When members of the Kennedy clan gathered to celebrate St. Patricks Day, they did so with a very special guest of honor: the president of the United States.
That one of the best-known family dynasties in the country might choose to hang out with its most powerful man isnt necessarily surprising. But it did mark a sharp rebuke to the one relative noticeably absent from a warm family photo the group snapped together on Sunday: Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is currently mounting his own quixotic independent campaign for the White House.
Its not enough to wish the world were better, you must make the world better, Kerry Kennedy, the younger sister of RFK Jr., wrote in a X post sharing the photo. @POTUS President Biden, you make the world better.
Small family gathering this afternoon! Joe Kennedy III, the political candidates nephew, added in a retweet.

Just as an aside, can anybody tell what is at the foot of the woman in the print dress to the left of Joe (to our right)? Looks like it is almost resting on the foot of the woman next to her.

(204 posts)As a freshman in college during JFK's presidential campaign who worked diligently for him, this is a powerful statement to me about the solidarity of the Kennedy family and all true patriots that we support common sense and Democracy in this nation.

He was originally in Congress from MA (which is why I remember seeing him a lot but not recently) and is now in the Biden Administration as a Special Envoy to Northern Ireland.
