Recently, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent presidential contender, responded to a serious sexual assault accusation. Eliza Cooney, who worked as a live-in nanny for Kennedy and his then-wife in the late 1990s, is the source of the accusation.
Kennedy, according to Cooney, stroked her leg inappropriately during a business meeting and then showed up shirtless in her bedroom, requesting that she put lotion on his back. Cooney shared her experiences with Vanity Fair. When Cooney claimed that Kennedy had touched her inappropriately in the kitchen, and that another domestic worker had stopped him, the situation worsened months later.
Kennedy responded to these accusations by calling the Vanity Fair piece “garbage” and declaring, “I am not a church boy,” during an appearance on the Breaking Points podcast. I was a very, very rowdy young person.” “I am who I am,” he underlined, declining to remark on the details of the accusations.
After years of silence, Cooney chose to come out during the #MeToo movement and eventually told her mother, friends, and attorney Elizabeth Geddes about the incident.
Kennedy, who is well-known for his divisive remarks and colorful background, has had many difficulties during his campaign.
After starting his presidential campaign inside the Democratic Party, he is now running independently and might be a danger to both Biden and Trump in crucial states.
Kennedy’s candidacy is still generating controversy and attention despite his 9.1% national polling percentage. His most recent comments will undoubtedly spark more discussion as the campaign goes on.
