Caroline Kennedy Denounces Cousin RFK Jr as a 'Predator' Ahead of Confirmation Hearing

In an emotional letter, Caroline Kennedy implores senators to reject her cousin RFK Jr's nomination for health secretary, labeling him a 'predator' due to his vaccine views.


Caroline Kennedy's critique of her cousin targets both his professional qualifications and personal history, suggesting his nomination could endanger public health policies.


In a letter made public on Tuesday, Caroline Kennedy urged US senators to block her cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from becoming the next Secretary of Health and Human Services, describing him as a "predator." The missive arrives just before RFK Jr.'s confirmation hearing, creating an explosive backdrop. Growing up with her cousin, Caroline expressed her deep concerns regarding RFK Jr.'s stance on vaccines, deeming it incompatible with a leadership role in health policy.

Caroline argued that RFK Jr.'s views are not only dangerous but also indicative of a profound lack of credibility. She mentioned in her letter, which was distributed through social media, that his history reflects poorly, stating, "He lacks any relevant government, financial, management, or medical experience." She warned that his anti-vaccine rhetoric could have significant public health implications, especially as the president's nominee is expected to align with scientific consensus.

RFK Jr., a long-time critic of vaccines, has suggested that vaccines could pose risks while attempting to advocate for enhanced vaccine safety standards. Caroline, however, was adamant that he preys on vulnerable parents while failing to properly assess the safety of vaccinations, saying, "Bobby preys on the desperation of parents of sick children." She pointedly noted his previous acknowledgment of vaccinating his own children while discouraging others from doing so.

In addition to his controversial vaccine views, Caroline raised personal concerns about RFK Jr.'s character, recalling his struggles with substance abuse and alleged instances of animal cruelty. She claimed that his lifestyle choices had influenced other family members negatively and recounted disturbing behaviors from his youth, including mistreatment of animals.

Caroline's missive culminates with the assertion that both her late father, President John F. Kennedy, and her uncle, Robert Kennedy, would be appalled by RFK Jr.'s actions and beliefs. As RFK Jr. approaches the hot seat during the confirmation process, the ramifications of this family feud could shake the foundation of his nomination and raise pivotal questions about his capability to lead one of the nation's most significant health agencies.
