Robert F. Kennedy’s famous name, populist stances and loyal following have earned him President Donald Trump’s support, but will that get him the votes he needs from the Republican-controlled Senate to become the nation’s top health official?

In a letter to senators, Caroline Kennedy etches a damning sketch of her cousin, the latest condemnation Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has received from members of his family.

If confirmed by the Senate, Kennedy would head the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which oversees many of the country’s health agencies, from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Caroline Kennedy has released a scathing letter describing her cousin Robert F Kennedy as a cruel, unqualified and dangerous.

Caroline Kennedy, a member of the famed U.S. political family, urged senators on Tuesday to reject her cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination to lead the top U.S. health agency, calling him a "predator" and his healthcare views "dangerous.

"He put baby chickens and mice in the blender," she says of her cousin, chosen by President Trump to head HHS.

Caroline Kennedy called her cousin, Robert F. Kennedy, a 'predator' ahead of his confirmation hearing for Health and Human Services secretary.
