Robert F. Kennedy Jr, Who Was Named By Trump as Health & Human Services Secretary, Tells His Life Story (Flashback)

Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appeared on VladTV last November to share about his family's fascinating and storied past. His father was Robert F. Kennedy, also known as Bobby, who was the brother of John F. Kennedy and son of Joseph Kennedy. RFK Jr. detailed how close-knit the Kennedy family was, discussing both happy times, such as dinner with his grandparents and boating expeditions with his grandfather, and tragedies, including the loss of two uncles during World War II. He also addressed rumors regarding his grandfather's involvement in bootlegging, explaining that Joseph Kennedy didn't enter the alcohol industry until after Prohibition ended and further proclaiming that he was a prohibitionist himself. RFK Jr. refutes legacy-tarnishing rumors that were circulated at the time of his father's assassination as an intentional CIA-led effort to discredit the family's name. RFK Jr. also addressed JFK's presidency and assassination before he opened up about J. Edgar Hoover, his father's assassination, Fidel Castro, the "Kennedy Curse," his presidential campaign, and much more.
