Tammy Bruce: An Open Letter to the Kennedys Who Betrayed RFK Jr.

The day Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his presidential campaign and endorsed former President Donald Trump, there was bound to be an outcry from the usual suspects — this is politics, after all — but the most venomous reaction came from Kennedy's own family.

For daring to follow his conscience, Bobby was denounced by his brothers in a statement publicly promoted by his sister, Kerry Kennedy, and posted on social media platform X. Kerry, who dropped “Cuomo” from her name after divorcing Andrew in 2005, was at the forefront of the condemnation, in which they slammed Bobby for betraying “the values ​​most cherished by our father and our family.”

RFK JR responds to Kennedy family drama and wife's discomfort after supporting Trump

Values ​​are worth talking about, and in the midst of this extraordinary time for our country, I needed to respond, a response I originally posted on X.

Below is an open letter to Kerry Kennedy.

You guys are awful. Despite your family’s checkered past and the terrible behavior of many of your men, Americans have supported you out of loyalty, sentiment, and too often, sadness. Your family’s questionable establishment of wealth, treatment of Marilyn Monroe, general womanizing, driving Mary Jo Kopechne to her death, rape allegations, the list goes on and on, but the point is that your family has been loyal to and protected family members who have done the most horrific things. Yet the moment a member of your family acts in good conscience for this country, you throw him to the wolves and seek to publicly condemn him. It’s insane that one of your guys is supporting Trump to improve the lives of Americans, while never saying a word about the trail of abused and abandoned women the Kennedys left behind.

Your disgraceful treatment of my brother exposes the corruption that has permeated the American heart so many times over the years. Not only that, but the economic devastation of American families is something your family will never truly understand. You are unmoved by worries about whether you have enough gas to get to work, whether you can afford to buy eggs this week, whether it is safe to walk through your neighborhood, whether your children will be safe in their inner city public schools, whether they will be able to read and write when they receive their diplomas.

You continue your civil rights activism and public service demonstrations. But in the meantime, pledge to do no more damage. Americans are simply looking for a way to restore security for their futures and their families, to know that maybe, just maybe, they might have a future they can count on for their children. The state of this country should shock anyone, even if they have the name Kennedy; at least one of you who, like us, is tired of the fear and despair that has been imposed on us for generations.

The American people are glad to have Bobby on our side, because we refuse to submit and will not settle for the catastrophe we are expected to succumb to. Instead, with Mr. Trump and all who join us, we will FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!
