Summary

Caroline Kennedy urged senators to reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination as head of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, calling him a “predator” unfit for the role.

In a letter, Kennedy accused her cousin of troubling behavior, including a past fascination with violence and drug use, and criticized his lack of relevant experience.

She also condemned his anti-vaccine activism as dangerous and hypocritical, noting he vaccinated his own children while discouraging others from doing so.

RFK Jr.’s confirmation hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.
