RFK Jr. On If More Assault Victims Will Come Forward: “I don’t know. We’ll see what happens.”

Damning reporting from Vanity Fair last week exposed how RFK Jr. sexually assaulted his family babysitter, Eliza Cooney. When asked about the assault allegations, RFK Jr. declined to rebut them, saying, “I am not a church boy…I have so many skeletons in my closet that if they could all vote, I could run for king of the world…I am who I am.”

Today, two new stories from the Washington Post and the Boston Globe raised more questions about RFK Jr.’s troubling treatment of women. When asked by the Boston Globe if other women might come forward with similar assault allegations, RFK Jr. once again failed to deny his actions and responded, “I don’t know. We’ll see what happens.” Reporting from the Washington Post uncovers that in the wake of the Vanity Fair story, RFK Jr. repeatedly contacted the former babysitter via phone and a late-night text to give, as Cooney describes it, a “disingenuous and arrogant” excuse. 

In response, Democratic National Committee Spokesperson Matt Corridoni released the following statement:

“RFK Jr. continues to offer dismissive and inadequate excuses in response to these sexual assault allegations. Like Donald Trump, RFK Jr. is not only plagued by scandal and a closet full of skeletons, but he has no shame or regard for the women he assaulted and harassed. His flippant admission that more women may come forward and so-called apology to his former nanny completely embodies his self-serving nature. Eliza Cooney says it best herself: RFK Jr. is ‘disingenuous and arrogant.’”
