Caroline Kennedy calls RFK Jr. a 'predator' and urges Senate to reject his nomination
In a strongly worded letter, Caroline Kennedy urged the Senate to reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for the role of Health and Human Services Secretary.
In a letter Tuesday urging the Senate to reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination for health and human services secretary, Caroline Kennedy referred to her cousin as a "predator."
Caroline Kennedy, a former U.S. ambassador to Australia and the daughter of President John F. Kennedy, said RFK Jr. was unqualified to lead HHS, which oversees 13 federal agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
Among her many criticisms in the letter to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, Kennedy said that “siblings and cousins who Bobby encouraged down the path of substance abuse suffered addiction, illness and death.”
She also accused her cousin of lacking any relevant experience for the role and said he holds “dangerous and willfully misinformed” views on vaccines. She read the letter aloud in a video posted on X by her son, Jack Schlossberg.
“Bobby is addicted to attention and power,” Caroline Kennedy said, using her cousin’s nickname. “Bobby preys on the desperation of parents of sick children — vaccinating his own kids while building a following by hypocritically discouraging other parents from vaccinating theirs.”
