In a shocking turn of events, Joe Kennedy III publicly condemned his cousin, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as “a threat to the health and wellbeing of every American.” The statement, which has garnered over 1.2 million views, sheds light on the deepening rift within the iconic Kennedy family.
The once-unified Kennedy clan is now divided over RFK Jr.’s alignment with President Donald Trump and his controversial appointment as HHS Secretary under a “Make America Healthy Again” platform. Joe Kennedy’s call for his cousin’s resignation marks a significant escalation in the family feud.
Family Feud Escalates
In 2024, five of RFK Jr.’s siblings issued a joint statement criticizing his support for Trump as “a betrayal of our family’s values.” Caroline Kennedy later penned a letter urging senators to reject her cousin’s cabinet nomination, labeling him as a “predator” addicted to power and attention.
During a Senate Finance Committee hearing on September 4, RFK Jr. faced accusations from Sen. Ron Wyden of replacing CDC scientists with “cranks” and “conspiracy theorists,” putting children at risk and causing confusion among parents.
Call for Resignation
Joe Kennedy’s social media post called for RFK Jr.’s resignation, citing the absence of core values in the Secretary’s office and the harm he is causing to the American people. Even Jack Schlossberg, President John F. Kennedy’s grandson, joined in criticism of RFK Jr.’s testimony during the hearing.
