RFK Jr. Praises Ethel Kennedy’s ‘Tough Love’ On Social Media
HuffPost
The former independent presidential candidate said he credits his mother “for all my virtues” and is “grateful for her generosity in overlooking my faults.”
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. took to social media on Thursday to honor his mother, Ethel Kennedy, with a lengthy post praising her, in part, for inventing “tough love.”
Ethel Kennedy died Thursday at the age of 96, a week after she was hospitalized after suffering a stroke.
RFK Jr.’s post came hours after his estranged wife, Cheryl Hines, and various members of the Kennedy family posted their own social media tributes.
Still, he made up for the delay by making it lengthier than other tributes to his mom.
In the post, Kennedy said God blessed his mom with “a rich and eventful life,” and said “even as she declined in recent months, she never lost her sense of fun, her humor, her spark, her spunk, and her joie de vivre.”
