'Predator': Caroline Kennedy Warns Senators about RFK Jr. in 'Searing' Letter
Caroline Kennedy Urges Senators to Reject Her Cousin’s Nomination
THE NEW YORK TIMES: In a harsh letter to lawmakers considering Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination for health secretary, Ms. Kennedy called her cousin unfit for the job and a “predator” who led family members to addiction.
Caroline Kennedy wrote a scathing letter to key senators on Tuesday, calling her cousin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a “predator” addicted to attention from airing dangerous views on vaccinations and who is unfit to be the nation’s health secretary.
She urged lawmakers, who will be questioning Mr. Kennedy at his confirmation hearings Wednesday and Thursday, to reject his nomination. She cited his lack of experience, misinformed views on vaccines and personal attributes. In the letter, she described how he led other family members “down the path of drug addiction.”
“His basement, his garage, and his dorm room were the centers of the action where drugs were available, and he enjoyed showing off how he put baby chickens and mice in the blender to feed his hawks,” Ms. Kennedy wrote. “It was often a perverse scene of despair and violence.”
Her letter was first reported in The Washington Post.
Ms. Kennedy expressed particular outrage over the new disclosures in his ethics agreement filed with the Senate, which she described as outlining how his “crusade against vaccination has benefited him in other ways.” » | Christina Jewett and Sheryl Gay Stolberg | Tuesday, January 28, 2025

THE TELEGRAPH: The Vatican has blocked the appointment of Caroline Kennedy as US ambassador, according to reports.
Vatican sources told Il Giornale that their support for abortion disqualified Ms Kennedy and other Roman Catholics President Barack Obama had been seeking to appoint.
Mr Obama was reportedly seeking to reward John F Kennedy's daughter, who publicly gave her support to his election bid. She had been poised to replace Hillary Clinton as New York senator, but dropped out amid criticism that she lacked enough experience for the job. >>> By Alex Spillius in Washington | Saturday, April 11, 2009

NEWSDAY: ALBANY - In a first peek at her positions on policy matters, Caroline Kennedy supports gay marriage rights, restoring a ban on assault weapons and keeping the Bush administration's tax cuts in place for now.
She backs President-elect Barack Obama's drawdown plan for U.S. troops in Iraq and also supports abortion rights.
Kennedy aides offered the positions yesterday, after The Buffalo News last week sent her inquiries involving several policy areas she would have to consider if she were selected by Gov. David A. Paterson to succeed Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
In a trip to Buffalo and other upstate cities last week, Kennedy publicly announced her interest in succeeding Clinton, who has been nominated to become U.S. secretary of state in the new Obama administration.
In response to the questions about where she stands on the issues, Kennedy responded through an e-mail statement from her spokesman, Stefan Friedman.
Gun control: She supports gun control efforts and specifically wants restored the ban on assault weapons that was lifted during the Bush administration.
Gay marriage: She supports "full equality and marriage rights for gay and lesbian couples."
Death penalty: She opposes the death penalty.
Iraq: Kennedy "supports President-elect Obama's plan to work with our military leaders to begin a responsible withdrawal." >>> McClatschy Newspapers | Sunday, December 21, 2008

LE FIGARO: La fille du président assassiné serait tentée par le siège new-yorkais que Mme Clinton laissera vacant au Sénat en devenant la secrétaire d'État d'Obama.
Après avoir boudé la politique et fui les caméras jusqu'à sa 51e année, Caroline Kennedy aurait-elle été finalement rattrapée par le démon qui entretient la légende de son illustre famille ? Après avoir joué les premiers rôles dans la campagne de Barack Obama, la fille du président John F. Kennedy serait-elle tentée par le flambeau que son oncle Ted, malade d'un cancer, pourrait lui transmettre au Sénat, où son père avait lancé sa carrière il y a cinquante-six ans ? >>> Jean-Louis Turlin | Lundi 08 Décembre 2008
