Jfk haters be accusing him of the most craziest shit. For example they’ll be like, “Jfk beat his wife so badly that she had to go to the hospital 565346 times!” Or smthn like, “Jfk was a communist and fucked Fidel Castro in the ass!” Like bro leave that man alone. 😭 And the most funniest part of it all, is that they say this shit with no proof whatsoever. They really said, “Source: Trust me bro” LIKE IM NOT LISTENING TO YOUR DUMBASS. 💀

Joan and Bobby campaigning together. Circa, 1968.

When he was alive, JFK never lost a chance to compliment Joan on how well voters responded to her when she stepped in for Jackie (who was pregnant much of the time) during his 1960 Presidential campaign. When Ted was in a plane crash and couldn’t campaign for re-election in 1964, Joan did it for him and was just as fantastic on the stump for her husband as she had been with Jack. So, having Joan stump for him as well was huge for Bobby’s campaign. - Camelot: Once There Was A Spot

Happy birthday Caroline Kennedy! (November 27, 1957)

John and I were lucky because our mother was a strong woman with high expectations and a strong sense of values. She encouraged us to pursue things we were interested in and not think about what other people wanted us to do. Those were good lessons. She was also into character building and depriving us of things we wanted. “You can’t have that” and “Who do you think you are?” and “I think I’m going to send you off on a wilderness expedition now!” [laughs] Of course, John and I complained constantly. We have this incredible extended family. We were surrounded by people who loved us and cared about us and who understood. My cousins and I—we all shared so much. I felt a wonderful sense of support, and we had tremendous pride in our parents and wanted to do well and live up to what they would’ve wanted. - Caroline Kennedy
