Former First Daughter Caroline Kennedy on Tuesday sent a letter to senators undorsing her cousin Robert F Kennedy Jr to be US Secretary of Health and Human Services, per the Washington Post. “I have known Bobby my whole life, we grew up together,” wrote Kennedy, rattling off that “It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because he himself is a predator,” that through “the strength of his personality,” other family members followed Bobby “down the path of drug addiction… His basement, his garage, his dorm room were the centers of the action where drugs were available, and he enjoyed showing off how he put baby chickens and mice in the blender to feed his hawks. It was often a perverse scene of despair and violence.”
Caroline did give props to Bobby for “pulling himself out of illness and disease” but lamented the “siblings and cousins who Bobby encouraged down the path of substance abuse suffered addiction, illness, and death while Bobby has gone on to misrepresent, lie, and cheat his way through life.”
