The DARK Side of RFK Jr., Ep. 13: Skeletons

On Thursday morning the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as Trump's Secretary of Health and Human Services was confirmed by the full Senate.

Secretary Kennedy was sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch at the White House with President #Trump and members of Mr. Kennedy's family in attendance.

#Democrats vocally opposed #RFKJR's appointment in a 30 hour marathon debate on the Senate floor prior to Thursday's vote. Their arguments centered mainly on Kennedy's history of anti-vaccine activism, his fluctuating stance on abortion, his conflicts of interest and lack of proper qualifications. Yet, his serious character flaws and bizarre behavior that could be considered disqualifying factors at any other time in history were barely even mentioned.

When #RFK declared his run for the presidency in April 2023, he said in his speech: "I've got so many skeletons in my closet that if they could all vote, I would be king of the world."

In the latest episode of this History Book Club series, "The Dark Side of RFK Jr." we will open Bobby Kennedy Jr.'s closet full of skeletons and take a peek inside.

Episode 13 explores the sex addiction that destroyed Bobby and Emily's marriage, his secret quickie divorce and rushed marriage to Mary Richardson, who was already 6 months pregnant with his baby.

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.
