Last fall Caroline Kennedy made a strong-worded statement about her cousin Robert F Kennedy Jrʼs health-related ideas (which got extra attention after his recent pick for a top health job by Donald Trump)
I grew up with him‚ so Iʼve known all this for a long time. Others are just getting to know him
The outgoing US ambassador to Australia pointed out that her family stands together on health topics: except for her cousin whose ideas dont match the Kennedy clans support for medical science and public-health systems
RFK Jr – whose dad and uncle were big-time Democratic leaders – switched from running as an independent candidate to joining Trumps team about 3 months ago. His work with Childrenʼs Health Defense group raised many eyebrows; while he says he just wants better vaccine testing most experts disagree with his health-related statements
In her wrap-up talk down-under Caroline Kennedy – daughter of former president JFK – also touched on other topics:
- US commitment to Indo-Pacific region will stay strong no matter whos president
- America will see its first woman president during her lifetime
- Australian-US partnership remains key for both nations
The ambassador (whos finishing her term) kept things light when asked if shed be that first female president – she simply smiled and moved on without giving a direct answer
