According to Vanity Fair’s reporting (which has not been verified by MSNBC), a woman named Eliza Cooney, who had been hired to babysit Kennedy’s children in 1998 when she was 23, alleged that he groped her or behaved inappropriately toward her on three occasions. Cooney told the publication that she wrote about the first incident in her diary at the time and that she had confided in her mother in 2017 during the height of the #MeToo movement. She said she had also told several of her friends about Kennedy’s alleged behavior last year, after he announced his run for president.
Kennedy did not respond to NBC News’ request for comment on the allegations. But asked about the assault allegations in an interview on “Breaking Points,” a YouTube show, he said he would not respond to the details, adding that he had a “rambunctious youth.” (Kennedy was in his 40s when the incidents are alleged to have occurred.)
“Listen, I’ve said this from the beginning: I am not a church boy,” he told the interviewer Tuesday. “I had a very, very rambunctious youth. I said in my announcement speech that I — I have so many skeletons in my closet that if they all vote, I could run for king of the world.”
Really? Being in one's 40s is being a youth? His goddamned uncle was president in his 40s. His dad was a United States Senator in his 40s. Baby Bobby was molesting his kid's sitter.
He and Dolt-45 should get along famously, they're both creeps who molest women.

I haven't read the details, but shades of Christy Noem I happened to read of Kennedy BBQ'ing a dog. That's not very presidential.

It must be a prerequisite for politicians. President Biden has many photos and videos of him smelling the hair or unwanted touching of women and girls.
I find anything that causes a person, male or female to consider themselves being touched or in any other way made to feel as if they were violated sexually or otherwise makes the person doing such a thing a lowlife. The sad fact is that with the way things are today, morality in our leaders doesn't seem to matter to those electing them.
Everyone should realize that 80% of the people who will vote come November have already made up their minds, and nothing will change that. The other 20% are the ones that could be swayed and the ones that the two mainstream candidates always battle over.
It will be an interesting evening on election day. As a lifelong Michigan resident I saw that Governor Whitmer apparently was falsely credited with saying that the Democrat candidate for president could not win here. She had to make a statement saying that she never said that. It is difficult to know just what to believe the way things are now.
Happy Independence Day. We are still the greatest nation in the world, and as a people we must figure out the way to keep it that way. Respect and acceptance would be a good way to start.
