This is one for the history books. RFK Jr. is the son of Bobby Kennedy and the nephew of John F Kennedy - two renowned American historical figures and responsible for shaping much of 20th century American politics.
RFK Jr. is trying to follow in their footsteps, but he has some big shoes to fill. He's running for President in 2024 and a political action committee spent 7 million dollars on an ad which aired during the Super Bowl. The ad featured a lot of images of JFK and tried to associate RFK Jr.'s bid for office with JFK's presidency.
Members of the Kennedy family saw the ad and weren't happy. They publicly called RFK Jr. out for this rather tasteless campaign tactic (also they think he's completely wacky) and reminded RFK Jr. that the Kennedy family believes in things like science and reason.
RFK Jr. apologized for the hurt caused to his family by the ad, but it wasn't in his hands to control. It was an ad created by an independent political action committee and he wasn't allowed by law to even know that an ad would be aired - let alone the contents of the ad!
He's sure sorry about that ad, but not about his stance on a number of conspiracy theory topics ~ which is another reason the Kennedy family isn't supporting his run for the presidency.
Blood is thicker than water, but not in family politics!
