LIBBY COLLINS: Are you disappointed that more of your relatives, more of your family aren’t backing you?
ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR.: We have a complicated family, and I love my family. You know, we were all raised to oppose, to argue with each other, to argue with intensity, with passion, but also love each other. I wish on my country the same thing.
There’s five members of my family who are working for the Biden Administration for many others who have NGOs that are entangled with the administration, and so I understand. And we — my family has a 40-year relationship with Joe Biden, so I understand that a lot of them are upset. I also have close — half of my family supporting me.
