RFK Jr. says he may need to apologize to past women for alleged sexual assault: 'Had a very rambunctious life’

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. admitted that he may have to apologize to more women from his past after a former babysitter accused him of sexual assault. Kennedy said additional women coming forward is "quite possible" because he'd led "a very rambunctious life." 

Eliza Cooney, who worked for the Kennedy family when she was a young woman, told Vanity Fair in early July that Kennedy forcibly groped her in the late 1990s.

According to The Washington Post, Kennedy apologized to Cooney via text message after the report was published.

During a sit-down interview with CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent Major Garrett, Kennedy said his statement to Cooney "speaks for itself" and insisted it was a private correspondence not intended to go public.

Kennedy said that he had no memory of the alleged assault and found it to be "out of character."

"You know, human interactions are complicated. People have different interpretations of them and if I did anything to hurt somebody, I'm going to make amends for that," Kennedy said.

He also stressed that while he did not wish to make any public comments on Cooney's allegation, he does not wish to "leave anybody in the world feeling like I did something that was insensitive or inappropriate."

Garrett then asked Kennedy if he may have to make further apologies in the future.

"It's quite possible," Kennedy replied. "I'm 70 years old. I had a very rambunctious life."

TRUMP ACCUSES RFK JR. OF BEING A 'DEMOCRAT PLANT' AND 'WASTED PROTEST VOTE'

Kennedy, who left the party his family once ruled after it blocked his bid to challenge President Biden in the primaries, said the contest for the White House is a "two-man race" and only he can defeat former President Donald Trump after Biden's abrupt withdrawal.

Kennedy continued his campaign as an independent, and he has reached double-digits in some polls on a platform that decries "corporate capture," the affordability crisis, and "forever wars," according to his campaign website.

A Fox News Poll from July showed Kennedy receiving 10% of the general electoral vote in a three-way race with Trump and Biden.

Jim Gaffigan says comedy audiences are tired of political drama and just want to laugh again

Comedian Jim Gaffigan revealed in an interview why he's mostly steering clear of politics in his stand-up material these days. Gaffigan told Variety that comedy fans don’t attend stand-up shows to hear lectures. They go to escape the real world and simply laugh at silly jokes. When the interviewer mentioned the recent crossover between comedy and politics, Gaffigan responded, "People are coming to a show to have a break from some of this drama. That’s not to say there aren’t great comedians who talk about social commentary. The spirit of George Carlin is very important."  And he recalled his political jokes after President Donald Trump's first election victory in 2016 not landing how he'd imagined. COMEDIAN DUSTY SLAY REVEALS HOW FAITH AND SOBRIETY PAVED THE ROAD TO HIS STAND-UP SUCCESS "I remember when Trump was first elected, and my opening act had some political jokes.

Prosecutors on Friday presented their final witness in the federal trial of Ryan Routh, accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf club on Sept. 15, 2024.

McGreevy read aloud a handwritten note Routh allegedly left in a box at Lazaro Plata’s home in Greensboro, North Carolina. The note began: "Dear World, .. This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, but I am so sorry I failed you... it’s up to you now to complete the job." The letter also mentioned a $150,000 reward. McGreevy testified that bank transfers showed Routh had the money to pay that sum.
