Kerry Kennedy , sister of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. , declared that her father would have detested almost everything Donald Trump represents as she slammed her brother for endorsing the former president on Friday.

Im outraged and disgusted by my brothers gaudy and obscene embrace of Donald Trump , she told MSNBC host Jen Psaki on Sunday.

And I completely disavow and separate and dissociate myself from Robert Kennedy Jr. in this flagrant and inexplicable effort to desecrate and trample and set fire to my fathers memory, she added.

Kerry Kennedy made the comments after the conspiracy theorist suspended his independent presidential campaign and endorsed Trump at a press conference, later embracing him at a rally in Arizona.

She told Psaki that a number of Kennedy family members are backing Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz whereas Trump is a threat to most basic freedoms that are core to who we are as Americans.
