What They Are Saying: “RFK Jr. Doesn’t Deny Groping Allegation in Wild Interview”

“Doesn’t Deny Groping Allegation In Wild Interview”… “Unacceptable”… “Bizarre”…”Very Revealing”… “RFK Jr Doesn’t Want To Be Right” 

In new reporting yesterday, Vanity Fair uncovered disturbing new details about RFK Jr. The story quoted a former family babysitter who said he sexually assaulted her and it exposed how, during his second marriage, RFK Jr. sent nude photos of women to his friends–likely without their consent. 

Rather than deny the allegations, RFK Jr. doubled down on his actions in a new interview with Saagar Enjeti on the Breaking Points podcast—“ 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.”
