Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of President John F. Kennedy and former U.S. ambassador, has made a public statement urging lawmakers not to confirm her cousin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., for the position of Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS).
In a letter addressed to lawmakers, Caroline Kennedy expressed her concerns about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s qualifications for the role, both professionally and personally. She highlighted his lack of relevant government, financial management, and medical experience as key reasons why he should not be appointed as the head of HHS.
Caroline Kennedy also raised issues regarding her cousin's personal qualities, referring to him as a 'predator.' She accused Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of exploiting his family's tragedies for publicity and leading his siblings and cousins down a path of addiction.
She recounted instances where Robert F. Kennedy Jr. allegedly engaged in disturbing behavior, such as keeping birds of prey as pets and demonstrating cruelty towards animals by blending baby chickens and mice to feed to his hawks.
Caroline Kennedy's letter comes at a critical time as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been nominated by President Trump for the position of HHS Secretary, a role that involves overseeing the health of the American people. Her decision to speak out against her cousin's nomination reflects her sense of duty to protect the well-being of the public.
Caroline Kennedy emphasized that her decision to speak out was influenced by her position as a former U.S. ambassador and her commitment to upholding ethical standards in public service. She acknowledged the challenges of addressing family matters publicly but felt compelled to do so given the gravity of the situation.
As the debate over Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination continues, Caroline Kennedy's letter adds a significant voice to the discussion, shedding light on concerns about her cousin's suitability for the role of HHS Secretary.
