I was just a 12-year-old White House junior host who spilled a sterling silver bowl of spaghetti sauce on the rug in the Red Room on my first day in 1962, so I cannot say that I knew President John F. Kennedy.
But along with everybody else who knows anything about JFK, I can say that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is definitely not him.
I say this as the son of Charles U. Daly, the last surviving member of JFK’s West Wing. I learned early on from my own father that JFK truly was about asking what you can do for your country and helping those who needed it.
