I imagine it's hard to live up to anything when your Dad, and his brother, were murdered for being decent people. And much of the population hated them for it.

I'm not defending RFKJr. He's like a rabid dog - he may have been lovable, but now he's just a menace, and an ugly one at that.

But sometimes it's important to take a hard, painful, honest look back at how the menaces were born.

@oldclumsy_nowmad @gbsills @ProPublica It's amazing how the Kennedy family's extensive ties to organized crime were memory holed the instant JFKs head exploded.

They weren't killed because they were bootleggers.
