Caroline Kennedy, the niece of the late U.S. President John F. Kennedy, and cousin of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has issued a public statement accusing her relative of predatory behavior. The accusations come as RFK Jr. is set to appear before confirmation hearings for his appointment as Trump’s health secretary. Caroline Kennedy describes her cousin’s conduct as lacking the integrity and responsibility expected from a public figure, especially one who will be responsible for overseeing the nation’s health.
She claims that RFK Jr.’s actions have brought scandal to their family’s legacy and his potential position in Trump’s administration may bring further damage to the values they were raised with. Caroline Kennedy states that her cousin’s behavior has tainted the Kennedy name and influence, leaving her deeply disappointed.
The Kennedy family has had a long history of involvement in public service, so Caroline Kennedy’s accusations carry significant weight. Her decision to speak out against her cousin may hinder RFK Jr.’s chances at securing a cabinet-level position in the Trump administration.
This development has created tension within the Kennedy family, which has been known for unity and strong family bonds. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has yet to respond to Caroline’s accusations. With the confirmation hearings looming, the issue will undoubtedly continue to generate controversy and debate.
