We all have one in our family, right? No? Well, I sure do. Members of the Kennedy family released a statement to "denounce" Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s presidential run as a third-party candidate, and they did not hold back. JFK Jr's siblings are not a fan. His four siblings signed the statement- former Maryland Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, former Rep. Joseph Kennedy II, Rory Kennedy, and Kerry Kennedy.

"The decision of our brother Bobby to run as a third-party candidate against Joe Biden is dangerous to our country," the statement reads.

"Bobby might share the same name as our father, but he does not share the same values, vision or judgment. Today's announcement is deeply saddening for us," it added. We denounce his candidacy and believe it to be perilous for our country."

I feel validated:

I believe this to be true, too:

RFK Jr., a vocal anti-vaxxer, has a long history of controversies. He, like many Republicans, criticized our former country's top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, amid the raging pandemic. RJK Jr. published a book 'The Real Anthony Fauci.' He even went as far as to compare Covid vaccine policies to actions taken by Nazi Germany. Yeah, he's a Republican.
