When an RFK walked with children - instead of trying to kill them.

Oct 1, 2025 9:57 PM

In the mid-1960s, Robert F. Kennedy walked with children in Eastern Kentucky to highlight his belief that we needed to re-invigorate the war on poverty. Yes, it was partly a photo op to boost his presidential prospects, but THIS RFK fully supported universal health care, childhood vaccinations and other common sense provisions. And his like of children was genuine. Greatness skips a generation.

(story in Courier-Journal of Louisville by William Greider, who went on to the Washington Post and got the famous David Stockton confession that Reaganomics was a fraud.)

We can never know exactly how an RFK Sr. presidency would have been. He certainly would have better than Nixon, of course.
