Dunno that I’d go that far. RFK was arguably the best attorney general we’ve had and had many highly progressive beliefs that he put into practice, including tackling poverty and homelessness by investing in communities. The guy was a brilliant attorney and even his work with the Senate Labor Rackets Committee was arguably more rooted in getting rid of the mob influence of guys like Hoffa.
I don’t love everything he did but he was undoubtedly qualified to be in office and would have been a much better president than Nixon.
…would have been a much better president than Nixon.
Well, to be fair, a stale slice of raisin bread would have been significantly less harmful than Nixon. Even his “good deeds” were strategically designed to benefit only corporations and people in power.
