Caroline Kennedy, 67, has made a fierce denunciation of her cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr., 71, whom the family calls Bobby. In a video statement released on Tuesday, Jan. 28, through her son Jack Schlossberg and in a letter sent to senators, she harshly criticized Bobby ahead of his confirmation hearings set to start on Wednesday, Jan. 29, for the position of President Donald Trump’s health secretary.
She labeled him a “predator” who is “addicted to attention and power” and argued that his comments about vaccines have “cost lives.” She also assailed his choices over the years and his lack of medical qualifications. She even recounted an alleged incident where he “enjoyed showing off how he put baby chickens and mice in a blender to feed to his hawks,” calling it “a perverse scene of despair and violence.”
