TAMMY BRUCE: An open letter to the Kennedys who turned on RFK Jr

On the day Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. suspended his presidential campaign and endorsed former president Donald Trump for the presidency, one would expect an outcry from the usual suspects. After all, this is politics. But the most malicious response came from Kennedy’s own family.

For daring to follow his conscience, Bobby was condemned by his siblings in a public statement promoted publicly by his sister Kerry Kennedy, and posted on the social media platform X. Kerry, who dropped the ‘Cuomo’ from her name after her 2005 divorce from Andrew, was the spearpoint of the denunciation within which they excoriated Bobby for betraying "the values that our father and family hold most dear."

RFK JR RESPONDS TO DRAMA WITHIN KENNEDY FAMILY, WIFE'S DISCOMFORT AFTER TRUMP ENDORSEMENT

Values are worth talking about, and in the midst of this extraordinary time for our country, a response had to made, which I originally posted on X. 

Here is that Open Letter to Kerry Kennedy:

You people are awful. Despite your family's checkered past and horrible behavior of so many of the men, Americans have stood with you out of loyalty, sentimentality, and too often, grief. Despite the questionable establishment of your family's wealth, the treatment of Marilyn Monroe, the general womanizing, the abandonment of Mary Jo Kopechne to her death, allegations of rape, one could go on and on, but the point is your family has stayed loyal and protective of family members who have done the most appalling of things. But the moment one of your own acts on his conscience for this country you attempt to throw him to the wolves and publicly condemn him. Never a word for the trail of abused or abandoned women left behind by a Kennedy, but because one of your men supports Trump in an effort to make the lives of Americans better, that alone is beyond the pale.

In your ugly treatment of your brother, you reveal the rot that has broken the hearts of the American people so many times over the years. Beyond that, the economic destruction of American families is something your family would never truly understand. You are not touched by the worry about having enough gas to get to work, or whether or not you can afford eggs this week, if you'll be safe walking in your own neighborhood, or if your child will be safe in their urban public school or even if they will know how to read and write while collecting their diploma.

You keep doing civil rights work and public service virtue signaling. But in the meantime, make a pledge to not keep doing damage, as Americans are simply looking for a way to reclaim their own futures, the safety of their families, and knowing that maybe, just maybe, they can leave their children a little better off with a future they can rely on. The condition of this country should shock everyone, even if their name is Kennedy. We know it at least shocks one of you who, like us, has had enough of the fear and hopelessness assigned to us for generations.

Americans are happy to see Bobby on our side as we refuse to comply and will not go gentle into the catastrophes to which we are expected to succumb. Instead, with Trump and all who join us, we will fight, fight, fight!

Drew Barrymore will try to ‘practice physical distance’ on talk show

Drew Barrymore is taking a different approach for the new season of her talk show.

The host of "The Drew Barrymore Show" told Entertainment Tonight she plans to give her guests a little more space during interviews.

"I’ll try to practice physical distance, which is not my strong point," Barrymore said with a big laugh.

She added, "Do you know how hard the pandemic was for me? I was alone in a studio by myself! I like to be around people!"

Barrymore also acknowledged, "[It’s] not everyone’s favorite, but I’m sorry to those people."

The talk show host went viral several times in the past for getting physically super close to her interview subjects on the show.

Jennifer Garner, Kerry Washington, Paris Hilton, Jennifer Aniston, Adam Sandler and Lionel Richie have all been hugged or had Barrymore get on her knees and take their hands as she enthusiastically speaks with them. 

In April, she spoke with Vice President Kamala Harris, taking her hands in hers after asking her to be "Mamala of the country."

One of the more infamous instances of Barrymore’s hands-on approach was her December 2023 interview with talk show host icon Oprah Winfrey.

She took Winfrey’s hands, caressed her arm, and held her close as Winfrey tried to shift a little on the couch.

While fans were critical online, Winfrey told TMZ at the time she enjoyed Barrymore's hands-on approach during the interview and admitted it provided her solace. She added that she thought Barrymore was endearing and said she loved the actress for staying true to herself. Winfrey then joked that she now demands that her longtime partner, Stedman Graham, offer similar stroking sessions.

"We’re always going to be big on joy and laughter and feeling good, and that’s something I always wanted to do but never thought we would launch in a pandemic," Barrymore told ET. "And trying to lean into the joy and the feel good and the comedy at that time was real weird and wacky."

"The Drew Barrymore Show" launched in December 2020, and received a two-season pickup, taking it into 2026.

"We had a lot of years of uncertainty, and it feels all the more delicious because of that," the 49-year-old said.

"When we wanted to launch in a pandemic, it wasn’t an obvious way to go, and it was a tremendous risk. And I think it led to the uncertainty, but it also led to the possibilities. And if we had not been given that chance, that unorthodox timing, we would not be here today."
