In addition to arguing her cousin lacked the relevant government, financial management and medical experience to fill the role of HHS Secretary, Caroline said her cousin's personal qualities were also a disqualifying factor. In the letter, Caroline called her cousin a "predator," arguing he has sought to exploit his family's tragedies for publicity and led his siblings and cousins down a path of addiction.
"It's no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets, because Bobby himself is a predator," she said. "I watched his younger brothers and cousins follow him down the path of drug addiction. His basement, his garage, his dorm room were always the center of the action – where drugs were available and he enjoyed showing off how he put baby chickens and mice in a blender to feed to his hawks."

Caroline did concede that such moments were "a long time ago," and that she admired her cousin for finding his way out of his addiction. "I admire the discipline that took," she said. "But siblings and cousins who Bobby encouraged down the path of substance abuse suffered addiction, illness and death, while Bobby has gone on to misrepresent, lie and cheat his way through life."

RFK Jr.'s confirmation remains uncertain as both Republicans and Democrats have taken issue with his stance on vaccines and other public health issues. Lawmakers from more rural states have also raised concern over the potential that RFK Jr. could severely disrupt the agriculture sector as a result of his staunch views on healthy eating.
He will face questions from both the Senate Committee on Finance and the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions this week. However, only the Finance committee will ultimately vote on whether to advance RFK Jr.'s nomination to a full floor vote.
