Is it nepotism when his family is like "please Bobby, don't do this" and "please guys, don't listen to Bobby, he's got some screws loose not 'good points'"?
If you're running on your name alone and that name hasn't been popular for 50 years then yeah.
3 years ago noone knew this tiny face chucklefuck existed.
I mean, that's just running on name recognition, not nepotism.
Dude is crazy and unqualified, but he's not benefiting from nepotism. He'd need to actually be benefiting from some kind of family connections for that, and the entire Kennedy clan is running away from him.
Joe Kennedy III is a good example of a current day Kennedy nepo baby, even if he failed in his Senate bid.
