Kennedy family members denounce RFK Jr.'s decision to endorse Trump as a 'betrayal of values'

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s family denounced him for "betraying" their family values after the former presidential candidate gave his full-throated support Friday to former President Trump.

"We want an America filled with hope and bound together by a shared vision of a brighter future, a future defined by individual freedom, economic promise and national pride," a statement signed by five of the former third-party presidential candidate's siblings said.

"We believe in Harris and Walz," the statement continued. "Our brother Bobby's decision to endorse Trump [Friday] is a betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear. It is a sad ending to a sad story."

The statement, signed by Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, Courtney Kennedy, Kerry Kennedy, Chris Kennedy and Rory Kennedy, was shared by Joe Kennedy III, a grandson of Robert F. Kennedy, who wrote that it was "well said."

Jack Schlossberg, RFK Jr.'s cousin, wrote that his relative was "for sale" and now "works" for Trump.

"Never been less surprised in my life. Been saying it for over a year — RFK Jr. is for sale, works for Trump. Bedfellows and loving it," Schlossberg wrote in an X post. "Kamala Harris is for the people — the easiest decision of all time just got easier."

Schlossberg, the son of Caroline Kennedy and the grandson of JFK, has been a vocal critic of his cousin's campaign.

When RFK Jr. first announced his candidacy, Schlossberg called him an "embarrassment."

The 31-year-old has been an ardent supporter of Harris and recently spoke at the Democratic National Convention.
