Caroline Kennedy calls Robert F. Kennedy Jr. a ‘predator’ of members of Congress
Caroline Kennedy, a former U.S. ambassador and only child of President John F. Kennedy, scolded her cousin RFK Jr. in a letter to members of Congress.
Caroline Kennedy’s daughter Tatiana Schlossberg, 35, revealed her terminal cancer diagnosis in an essay published in The New Yorker on November 22nd.
Schlossberg wrote that after giving birth to her second child in May 2024, she learned she had acute myeloid leukemia after doctors noticed an imbalance in her white blood cell count.
Her doctors estimate she may have less than a year to live.
Schlossberg, the daughter of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, is an environmental journalist and author.
In her essay, Ms. Schlossberg wrote about the confirmation of her cousin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, and how health care has changed rapidly. The Kennedy family argued against his selection.
“I watched from my hospital bed as Bobby used logic and common sense to land the job, even though he had never worked in medicine, public health, or government,” she wrote. “Suddenly, the health care system I relied on felt strained and unstable. Doctors and scientists at Columbia University, including George, didn’t know if they would be able to continue their research or even work.”
