Kathleen, Courtney, Kerry, Chris, and Rory Kennedy release a statement after RFK Jr’s endorsement of Trump

[justinspoliticalcorner]

Joan McCarter at Daily Kos:

Members of the storied Kennedy family spent the weekend disavowing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. following his rambling announcement that he was suspending his independent presidential campaign in swing states and throwing his support to Republican candidate Donald Trump.

Five of Kennedy’s siblings fired off a response right after his announcement.  “Our brother Bobby's decision to endorse Trump today is a betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear,” they wrote. “It is a sad ending to a sad story.” Kerry Kennedy appeared on MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki” Sunday to deliver a blistering attack on her older brother and express unwavering support for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. “The stakes this November couldn't be higher, which is exactly why my whole family will be fighting so hard to reelect Kamala Harris and Coach Walz, who've been champions for the values that my family has fought for for years,” Kerry Kennedy told Psaki. “I’m outraged and disgusted by my brother's gaudy and obscene embrace of Donald Trump,” she said. “I completely disavow and separate and dissociate myself from Robert Kennedy Jr. and this flagrant and inexplicable effort to desecrate and trample and set fire to my father's memory."

[...] The extended Kennedy family joined in blasting RFK Jr. over the weekend. Robert F. Kennedy’s grandson Joe Kennedy III retweeted the Kennedy siblings’ statement with a simple “Well said.” And cousin Jack Schlossberg, son of JFK’s daughter Caroline Kennedy, was scathing in his assessment while reiterating his personal support for Harris. [...]

RFK Jr. sibling Max Kennedy didn’t sign on to the initial rapid response Friday, but wrote his own piece for the Los Angeles Times Sunday.  “I’m heartbroken over my brother Bobby’s endorsement of Donald Trump,” he wrote.

Kennedy family members spoke out against Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s family legacy-betraying decision to endorse Donald Trump for President after ending his run for Presidency (but keeping himself on the ballot in non-swing states).

RFK Jr. accused of betrayal for his endorsement of Trump.

His followers don't like it.

RFK Jr voters on ‘frustrating’ suspension of campaign: ‘He’s playing politics’

On Facebook, where Kennedy groups have amassed thousands of members across the country, some expressed bitter disappointment. In their view, Kennedy was a way to buck, and even break, the two-party system in the US – and while the end of his campaign hurt, backing one of the major party candidates was seen as far worse. Just before his formal announcement, Jenn Morgan said that if Kennedy “drops out and endorses Trump, then I will not be voting at all”. using an emoji with its tongue out on her post, meant to display the emotion “feeling disgusted”. [ ... ] “What’s this about??? Did you actually endorse this buffoon?” wrote Marcia Horn Kayhanfar in a top Kennedy Facebook group. “What a let down.” “I thought he was wanting to heal the divide, not make it deeper,” added Joey Martin, in the group “Robert F Kennedy Jr. America’s Best Hope”, which has 22,000 members. “I thought he wanted to give those who don’t want to vote out of fear an option. Is he now being divisive and saying that we should vote against what we fear? Did he give up on the dream and hope?”

His family doesn't think much of it either.

Kennedy family members describe RFK Jr.'s decision to endorse Trump as 'betrayal'

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his independent campaign for president Friday and endorsed Donald Trump, a move that further exacerbated the rift in the storied family known for producing Massachusetts Democrats. "Our brother Bobby's decision to endorse Trump today is a betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear," five members of the family wrote in a joint statement distributed by RFK Jr.'s sister, Kerry Kennedy. "It is a sad ending to a sad story." "Robert F. Kennedy Sr. would be rolling over in his grave," said Stephen Kennedy Smith, a cousin.

Sad!

The worm in RFK Jr.'s brain has so far not commented.

I don't think this endorsement will make much difference. His poll numbers have been tanking severely over the past few weeks.

While a few of his followers might vote for Trump, some may vote for other third-party losers or may just sit out the election. Would hardcore anti-vaxxers vote for Trump even though he's not exactly what they refer to as a "pureblood"?

Wow. I mean WOW. RFK Jr's siblings put out this statement today.

In part: "We believe in Harris and Walz. Our brother Bobby's decision to endorse trump today is a betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear. It is a sad ending to a sad story."

"Audio reveals Kerry Kennedy praising 'heroic' Harry and Meghan for fighting 'structural racism' within the Royal Family… only for him to deny calling them racist after all"

[trexalicious]

"Showbiz royalty is here in the form of Gayle King, the powerful CBS News host, friend of Oprah Winfrey and sometime confidante of Harry and Meghan. Gayle is wearing an eye-popping lime green dress that clings to every curve and she exudes brisk in-the-know bonhomie. Do you really think the British Royal Family is racist, I ask her? 'No I do not. And neither do they,' she says, meaning the Sussexes. Then what the heck are we all doing here, eating mini mozzarella balls on sticks and wondering why host Kerry Kennedy — daughter of Robert F. Kennedy — is wearing such a short dress?"
