Caroline Kennedy filmed a blistering attack on her cousin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Tuesday, calling him a “predator” who is unqualified to be President Donald Trump’s health secretary. In a clip posted on X by Caroline Kennedy’s son Jack Schlossberg, the late President John F. Kennedy’s daughter said she felt an “obligation” to speak out and urged senators to reject her cousin’s nomination to lead the health agency. “I have known Bobby my whole life; we grew up together,” the former ambassador to Australia read from a letter. “It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because he himself is a predator.” The letter, which was also obtained by The Washington Post, called RFK Jr. out for profiting from the family tragedies and claimed that he shouldn’t be in charge of the “life and death situations.” Kennedy emphasized RFK Jr.’s “dangerous and willfully misinformed” views on vaccines, claiming that he has vaccinated his own kids while encouraging others from doing so with his “conspiratorial half-truths.” Schlossberg, Caroline Kennedy’s son, praised his mom for speaking out against the nomination. “I’m so proud of my courageous mother, who’s lived a life of dignity, integrity and service,” he wrote on X. “She’s the kindest funnest smartest you’ll ever meet.”
