RFK Jr. responded with grace to a harsh statement put out by members of his family condemning his support of Donald Trump.
Kennedy was appearing on Fox News Sunday with Shannon Bream when he was asked about the statement, which was signed by five members of his family.
“You know, my family is at the center of the Democratic Party. I have members of my family that are working for the Biden administration. President Biden has a bust of my father behind him at the Oval Office, and he’s been a family friend for many years,” Kennedy told Bream.
“My family is—I understand that they’re troubled by my decisions. I love my family. I feel like we were raised in a milieu where we were encouraged to debate each other and debate ferociously and passionately about things and still love each other.
“They’re free to take their positions on these issues. There are many, many members of my family working at my campaign and who are supporting me.”
He added, “I think we all need to be able to disagree with each other and still love each other.”
The statement criticizing RFK Jr.’s decision to drop out of the presidential race and support Trump was issued on Friday and signed by Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, Courtney Kennedy, Rory Kennedy, Chris Kennedy, and Kerry Kennedy.
It read: “We want an America filled with hope and bound together by a shared vision of a brighter future, a future defined by individual freedom, economic promise and national pride. We believe in Harris and Walz. Our brother Bobby’s decision to endorse Trump today is a betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear. It is a sad ending to a sad story.”
RFK Jr.’s endorsement of Trump has electrified the presidential race, with pundits of the left and right predicting that it could decisively swing the election in Donald Trump’s favour.
In his announcement on Friday, before he joined Trump on stage at a rally in Arizona, Kennedy said that he would work with the Trump administration to “make America healthy again.” He described watching a generation of children grow up “damaged” as a result of poor diet and environmental pollution, and said that four more years of Democratic rule will “complete the consolidation of corporate and neocon power, and our children will be the ones that suffer most.”
“For 19 years I prayed, every morning, that God would put me in a position to end this calamity. The chronic-disease crisis was one of my primary reasons for running for president, along with ending the censorship and the Ukraine war.”
Now Kennedy is in a position to do that, and Trump has confirmed that he will head a task-force to investigate, and hopefully solve, America’s unprecedented health crisis.
“Nobody’s done more” than RFK Jr. to “advocate for the health of our families and children,” Trump said.
“Millions and millions of Americans who want clean air, clean water, and a healthy nation have concerns about toxins in our environment and pesticides in our food. That’s why today I’m repeating my pledge to establish a panel of top experts working with Bobby to investigate what is causing the decades-long increase in chronic health problems and childhood diseases.”
"I think we all need to be able to disagree with each other and still love each other," Kennedy told Shannon Bream on Fox
