The DARK Side of RFK Jr., Ep. 11: Heroin

This week the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as Trump's Secretary of Health and Human Services is expected to be voted on by the full Senate.

After #Kennedy was recommended by the Senate Finance Committee last week, Senate Majority leader John Thune filed a motion to invoke cloture and end debate on #RFKJR's confirmation so that the floor vote may proceed without any resistance or further delay from Democrats.

Kennedy could be confirmed by the Senate as early as Monday.

In the latest episode of this History Book Club series, "The Dark Side of RFK Jr." we will explore Kennedy’s 14 year addiction to heroin.

His habit would lead to Bobby being busted for heroin possession in 1983 and the death of his brother David from a drug overdose a year later.

Over the weeks ahead, we will be reading and discussing excerpted chapters from "Robert F. #Kennedy Jr. and the Dark Side of the Dream," an unauthorized #biography of RFK Jr. written by Jerry Oppenheimer.

The author also penned a scathing biography of RFK's late mother, Ethel Kennedy, who passed away in October 2024 at age 96.

Join me for "The Dark Side of RFK Jr." -- a continuing book club series -- and let me hear your thoughts on the book in the comments. I'll try to answer all viewer questions in future episodes.
