Former Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy (D-R.I.) endorsed President Biden for the White House over his cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s third-party bid.

Kennedy, a mental health advocate, appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday to discuss his new book, Profiles in Mental Health Courage. He said Biden has been “the best president we’ve ever had on mental health.”

“And frankly, he’s also put the most money to community mental health around the country. So there is no other choice than Joe Biden. If you care about this addiction crisis and this mental health crisis, Joe Biden is your candidate,” he added.

When co-host Dana Bash noted that his comments sounded like an endorsement, Kennedy confirmed it was. “Of course it is. He’s the best, and he knows this issue, as you know, it’s personally affected him, and I think that every American can relate to what it’s like for Joe Biden because we’ve all had similar circumstances,” he said.

1. That is going to leave a mark.

2. I think RFK Jr. is made of the same impermeable material as teflon Don.

I don't know what happens to people but sometimes their psyche just changes to "I Don't Give A Shit". Supposedly RFK Jr. was once an environmentalist...

5. Years ago, I went to an Al Franken speech and book signing in Oakland CA. RFK Jr. was the opener. He was on our side.

8. If RFK, Jr. weren't the spitting image of his father, I would seriously have to question his parentage.
