R.F.K. JR.’S DISOWNMENT
R.F.K. Jr.’s family has a few endearing pet names for him. Growing up, most of the Kennedy clan simply called him “Bobby.” Lately, though, they’ve gotten more creative. His nephew Jack Schlossberg, son of Caroline Kennedy, called him a “Russian spy.” Which we think is so Bolshe-chic! His other nephew Joe Kennedy III (son of R.F.K.’s brother Joseph Kennedy II) branded him a “threat to the health of the well-being of every American.” But, comrades, it doesn’t stop there. His younger sister Kerry recently christened him “incompetent and misguided” and then followed up with a demand for his immediate resignation—a shot fired in the family’s ongoing cold war. Not that anyone’s asking, but we at AIR MAIL call him “Connor Roy.”
R.F.K. JR.’s firing
Adding to the long list of people who want R.F.K. Jr. canned is Trump’s former surgeon general Jerome Adams. In a recent CNN interview, Adams urged the president to fire Kennedy for limiting access to vaccines, especially for the coronavirus. “He’s putting us at risk,” Adams warned, adding that Trump should act “for the sake of the nation.” A White House insider says Trump watched the entire segment on TV. Hardly shocking, since the president himself has admitted to clocking four to eight hours of television a day. The first hour, our source notes, is devoted to reruns of The Apprentice. The rest he splits between news and soap operas—CNN serving as the former; Fox News, the latter.
