Robert Kennedy Jr’s family hit the roof when they saw his Super Bowl commercial tonight. It was made to mimic a JFK ad from 1960, exploiting the family’s name and reputation.
Bobby Shriver immediately Tweeted:
“My cousin’s Super Bowl ad used our uncle’s faces- and my Mother’s. She would be appalled by his deadly health care views. Respect for science, vaccines, & health care equity were in her DNA. She strongly supported my health care work at @ONECampaign & @RED which he opposes.”
What Kennedy did was a disgraceful grab to ignite nostalgia for his father and uncle. It was tacky. Shriver — defending his mother. Eunice — did the right thing. The whole thing backfired.
Kennedy, a conspiracy theorist, is embarrassing his family and his assassinated uncle and father. It’s like he’s killing them all over again. He is, in a word, a tool.
PS If Bobby Shriver was mad, imagine his sister, Maria, and his cousin, Caroline. The latter must be livid. She publicly denounced RFK Jr. Almost his entire family has disowned him politically. He’s achieving nothing at all.
Our momentum is growing. It’s time for an Independent President to heal the divide in our country. 🇺🇸#Kennedy24 pic.twitter.com/6rwXW3AwAp
