Frank is dead to me for this.  # Segments On the last show, ([[BDE258]]), I wanted to discuss with y'all an article that had caught my eye from earlier in the month that I feel didn't get a lot of attention. But during the show, we ended up digging a little deeper and there's a lot more to it. So, tonight will be the first of a series (I'm not sure how many episodes yet, probably three) digging into the full history of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The [article](https://archive.ph/ZF6YW):  RFK gave an exclusive interview to [[Newsweek]] on November 1st, "clarifying the nature" of his involvement with [[Jeffrey Epstein]]. > Amid mounting curiosity over Kennedy being listed as one of the passengers, a spokesperson for the former Democrat exclusively told Newsweek that he had "flown one time on [[Jeffrey Epstein]]'s private plane. It was in 1993 from [New York City] to Palm Beach [Florida] to visit RFK Jr.'s mom for Easter." > > The spokesperson added that the private jet trip was made possible by Kennedy's then-wife, [[Mary Richardson Kennedy]], who was friendly with Epstein's partner at the time, Ghislaine Maxwell. Richardson Kennedy passed away in 2012. Kennedy has been married to Curb Your Enthusiasm star Cheryl Hines since 2014. > > "Mary, Kennedy's wife, and two of their kids were on the flight," the representative said. "Mary knew Epstein's girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, who learned that they were going to Palm Beach for Easter and offered their family a ride." Let's look at this line again: **"Richardson Kennedy passed away in 2012."** Six words, rather innocuous, and I didn't think anything of it the first several times I looked at this article. You may have already known about Mary Kennedy's suicide, or the fact that RFK Jr. has had three wives throughout his life, or about his sex diary scandal from about a decade ago… but I didn't.  In fact, aside from being appreciative of his work throughout 2020 and beyond and in advocating for medical freedom, or the fact that he's now running as an independent for president in 2024... I don't really know too much about him. But I'd like to. So if you're keen, I'd like to dig into his history, family life, scandals, good moments, and beyond, and flesh out a full portrait of who he is. I was planning on doing this for all the major contenders for president before too long, and he's [gaining ground](https://archive.is/3hUCv) with younger voters rapidly.  So why not start with him? Here's how his [campaign site](https://archive.ph/MT3vL) describes him:  ## RFK's Early Years %%Footer Starts Here%% ---  --- # Keep Digging %%Space%% ## Tags #Stream/BDE ### Footnotes & References
