Kennedy family set to step up its efforts to help Biden's campaign

[ShazzieB]

WASHINGTON — For President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent candidacy looms as a potential political spoiler. But for members of the extended Kennedy family, the possibility that one of their own could tip the race for presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump poses a different risk — spoiling a legacy.

Some members of the extended Kennedy clan already have issued statements making it clear they stand with Biden this fall. But a gathering of dozens of Kennedys at the White House last weekend marked the beginning of a more active effort by the family to boost Biden’s re-election effort and push back against one of their own.

“There was a point of having everybody there,” a senior member of the Kennedy family said of their gathering at the White House on St. Patrick's Day. The visit, which was captured in a photograph with Biden on the steps of the Rose Garden, included three generations and four branches of RFK Jr.'s relatives.

It’s an effort the White House and the Biden campaign are welcoming, though not directing themselves. Multiple sources familiar with the family’s advocacy say the Biden team is letting the Kennedys take the lead on helping the president's candidacy and then working to support them as needed.

Thanks, Kennedys, for being willing to take a stand against your deranged family member!

1. hear. hear.

[Fiendish Thingy]

2. Would love to see a spot featuring Caroline.

Or even better, RFKjr’s mother (yes, she’s still alive) endorsing Biden.

5. As an ambassador it might Caroline probably can't do much

But he son put our a video a while ago & I'd bet he wouldn't have done that without her ok.

6. I truly hope Ethel Kennedy is doing well at 96.

But I also hope she has no idea what her son is doing.

[All Mixed Up]

12. I read that it was Ethel who was actually behind the gathering...

But she's too old to travel.

[soldierant]

13. thank you.

I didn't realize Ethel was still with us. I would think she'd be a powerfukl voice! (And video exists now.)

3. Excellent, thanks!

[Joinfortmill]

4. This is a good thing.

9. Please also point out he is a serial cheater and drove his wife to commit suicide because she was despondent

Over his cheating.

[Pototan]

10. Well, RFK Jr. has that in common with Trump

[kimbutgar]

11. Yes he a similar despicable person

I started doing some research in him and what I found was so appalling! He is apiece of crap and has no business being in public office let alone the presidency.

And two tabloids

If he gains any traction I hope these articles resurface and destroy him. He’s even been accused of cheating on his current wife Cheryl Hines,

16. Look, he's an asshole but "research" using tabloids is suspect.

The one okay source, People, is a book review, not an analysis. And ALL the links you provided rely on one NY Post article claiming to have his diary. As far as I can tell, no one else has seen this diary. Do men cheat? Yes. Both RFK Sr. and JFK were cheaters. Seems like a family thing but let’s hear you condemn them.

So how are they different from TSF? Well, as far as I can tell, all their affairs were consensual, no rape, no porn stars, no marveling on how hot their daughters are.

17. If you didn't read the book review, I recommend it.

The author has written a string of celebrity biographies that are generally well thought of, based on my research. The RFK Jr. book and most of his others have been favorably reviewed in multiple sources.

Furthermore, the book isn't just based on tabloid accounts. The author did his own independent research which included talking to what sounds like a wide variety of people with a lot of different opinions on RFK Jr., both favorable and unfavorable.

Feel free to dismiss the tabloids,but I think this book has some real credibility.

[intheflow]

19. Fair enough.

I’ll look for the book!

15. "Ask not what your country can do for you..."

Kennedy family walking Jack’s walk. 🥰

18. Also happy that Caesar Chavez's family is telling RFK to stop using his image

or they will sue.

20. TY! Good to see this.. I missed it yesterday!!
