Fury As Social Media Blast RFK Jr’s Family
Members of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s family publicly showed their support for President Joe Biden by posing with him in a St. Patrick’s Day photo, noticeably excluding RFK Jr.
However, tensions escalated on Friday when Kennedy his decision to endorse former President Donald Trump for President over Vice President Kamala Harris.
The Democratic National Committee rallied around Harris, granting her the nomination without any votes being cast, a move which infuriated Kennedy. The Democratic Party also launched several lawsuits against Kennedy to keep him off the ballot in various states.
Kennedy hit back when announced he would be removing his name from ballots in crucial swing states and endorsing Trump. In his statement, Kennedy also delivered a pointed critique of the Democratic Party’s strategies.

“My dad is one of 11 children from the swing state of Wisconsin, so naturally, there is a wide range of political views in our family. But when he ran for Congress in 2010 as a Republican, his Bernie Bro parents and several of his Democrat-identifying siblings never would have dreamed of disavowing him publicly over these disagreements,” Evita Duffy-Alonso posted. “Family always supersedes politics because family means everything. If your blood doesn’t have your back, no one does. Turning on your family is commie, disordered, and sick. Shame on the Kennedys.”
