Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (RFK Jr) has done the unthinkable. He has spoken a powerful truth about the Democratic Party that has been heard around the world.
Truth comes with costs. Not only did RFK, Jr defy the Democratic Party leadership by launching an independent campaign for the presidency, but he has also committed the unforgivable sin of endorsing Donald J. Trump. What he has done requires great courage and fortitude. He has become one of the profiles in courage that his late Uncle John F. Kennedy wrote about all those years ago in 1955.
Let me wax nostalgic for a moment. As children of the 1960s, both Kennedy and I share a lot in common. We are baby boomers whose 1954 birthdates are less than two months apart. Our age was the age of political protest, civil rights, and patriotism.
