I love the Kennedy family story as much as the next American (I even read a book about Rosemary!), but current 2024 presidential candidate Robert F. And when it comes to political weakness, I have only one word to say: Enough is Enough. To put it mildly, these are some big days for Kennedy, whose “courtesy” with New York magazine reporter Olivia Nucci was based on that while it’s always incredibly nice and classy for a 70-year-old man to brag about a 31-year-old woman sending him nudes, I don’t believe this particular slut’s media politics one bit, I can’t even focus on enjoying the schadenfreude.
Strangely, the Olivia Nucci scandal has actually been the most common rumor since Kennedy launched his 2023 campaign. Last May, three months after Kennedy attributed the memory loss and brain fog he experienced in 2010 to “a bug that got into my brain and ate part of it and then died” (yes, that’s true), he admitted to dumping a dead body. That same month, Kennedy’s daughter Kick told a story that her father beheaded a dead whale and tied it to the roof of his minivan for a five-hour drive. (Of course, there are some more salacious parts to their story, too, from sexual assault allegations to the fact that Kennedy “refused to take sides on 9/11.”)
Since the election of Donald Trump in 2016, like many of us, I have become pretty good at engaging in political discussions so that I can get a general idea of what is going on, but not much in the way of scary, powerful information about people. Kennedy, however, is threatening that delicate balance with his endless barrage of nasty and bizarre media attacks, and I, in a way, want to go back to a time when I knew nothing about him, except that I had a hunch he was married. For RFK Jr., maybe ignorance really is bliss.
