Kerry Kennedy has said she is “disgusted” by her brother Robert F Kennedy Jr’s “obscene” backing of Donald Trump.

In a scathing rebuke of her brother, Kennedy said by dropping out of the presidential race and endorsing Trump, RFK Jr has “set fire” to their father’s memory.

Their father, the late senator Robert F Kennedy, who served as the former attorney general, was assassinated while running for president in 1968.

What, you don’t drive around all day with a rotting bear corpse in your car?

There is not a person, who is not disgusting themselves, who is not disgusted by RFK’s open and pathetic desperation during this blatant spoiler campaign.

His family has had a lot of glory and a lot of shame, but this and the Q anon co-opting of JFK Jr. should collectively drive the final nails into the coffin of any golden Kennedy legacy the name still carried.

Perhaps Kerry Kennedy has been in severe denial about her brother then. Nobody else was even surprised.

I’m surprised it took this long. Does that count?
