Kennedy family feud: RFK Jr. criticised for backing Trump

Kerry Kennedy, sister of RFK Jr., who withdrew from the White House race due to setbacks, sharply criticised him on Sunday's MSNBC programme.

So I’m outraged and disgusted by my brother’s gaudy and obscene embrace of Donald Trump. And I completely get out and separate and dissociate myself from Robert Kennedy Jr. in this flagrant and inexplicable effort to desecrate and trample and set fire to my father’s memory - said Kerry Kennedy.

Other famous family members also voiced their opposition to Robert Kennedy's support for former President Trump. They considered it a betrayal of the values their father and family hold most dear.

RFK Jr.'s father was U.S. Senator and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. His uncle, John F. Kennedy, was president. Assassins killed both.

Kerry Kennedy again declared her support for Vice President Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. In her opinion, if her father were alive, "the real Robert Kennedy would have detested almost everything that Trump represents."

- You know, I think this is really, the stakes this November couldn’t be any higher, which is exactly why my whole family will be fighting so hard to re-elect Kamala Harris and coach Walz, who have been champions for the values that my family has fought for for years. Donald Trump is the polar opposite. He is a threat to the most basic freedoms that are core to who we are as Americans. The right for women to control our bodies. The right to live in communities safe from gun violence, to love me love, - assessed Kerry Kennedy.

- I think that Donald Trump is incredibly dangerous to us. And I think what Bobby has done here is anathema to everything. Not only [what] our family stands for, but what Bobby has given his life to. You know, he spent so many years out there working on protecting the environment. And that’s the opposite of what Trump plans to do, - she emphasised.
