RFK's son Max Kennedy and his daughter are arrested for drunk and disorderly conduct

Keeping the Kennedy tradition alive and well.

------------------------------------------

According to Barnstable Police Officer Armando Feliciano, who arrived at the scene just after 1am, the father-daughter duo 'incited...an angry mob' among members of the party. 

Caroline, 23, reportedly refused to give police her information and admitted to being drunk while she was booked.

Her father, 52, was described to be 'sweating profusely' and had 'noticeably' blood-shot eyes. 

They were charged with disturbing the peace and violating a noise ordinance. Both of the Kennedys were bailed out that same night.

Details of their arrests emerged a day after the father-daughter duo's mug shots were revealed.

Max Kennedy, 52, and his daughter, Caroline Kennedy, 22, were arrested early Sunday morning.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has ramped up calls to remove "reprehensible" Confederate statues from the halls of Congress -- but left unsaid in her public denunciations is that her father helped dedicate such a statue decades ago while mayor of Baltimore. 

It was May 2, 1948, when, according to a Baltimore Sun article from that day, “3,000” looked on as then-Governor William Preston Lane Jr. and Pelosi’s father, the late Thomas D’Alesandro Jr., spoke at the dedication of a monument to honor Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson. 

The article said Lane delivered a speech, and Mayor D’Alesandro “accepted” the memorial.

“Today, with our nation beset by subversive groups and propaganda which seeks to destroy our national unity, we can look for inspiration to the lives of Lee and Jackson to remind us to be resolute and determined in preserving our sacred institutions,” D’Alesandro said in his dedication. “We must remain steadfast in our determination to preserve freedom, not only for ourselves but for the other liberty-loving nations who are striving to preserve their national unity as free nations.”

He added: “In these days of uncertainty and turmoil, Americans must emulate Jackson’s example and stand like a stone wall against aggression in any form that would seek to destroy the liberty of the world.”

With President Trump cautioning that the drive to purge Confederate statues could represent a slippery slope, the White House has flagged Pelosi's family history as she fuels the statue opposition. 

Counselor Kellyanne Conway tweeted an earlier article from RedAlertPolitics noting Pelosi's father's role. 

"That's rich," she wrote. 

Last week, more than a half century after Pelosi’s father honored the Lee-Jackson monument, it was removed from its post along with three other Confederate statues in Baltimore, according to the Baltimore Sun. The removal came as numerous monuments were removed, vandalized or otherwise being debated in the wake of the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., where a counter-protester was killed. 

Pelosi’s office did not respond to Fox News’ request for comment on her father’s involvement with one of the Baltimore monuments.

Pelosi Statement on the Passing of Senator Robert Byrd

"Senator Robert Byrd’s extraordinary life has been shaped by service to his state, love of his country, and commitment to the common good. Throughout his historic career in the House and Senate, he never stopped working to improve the lives of the people of West Virginia. While some simply bore witness to history, Senator Byrd shaped it – and strove to build a brighter future for us all."

That was then. This is now.

Pelosi Calls for Removal of Confederate Statues From Capitol

Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement calling on Speaker Ryan to join Democrats in supporting legislation to remove Confederate statues from the Capitol:

-----------------------------

"The halls of Congress are the very heart of our democracy. The statues in the Capitol should embody our highest ideals as Americans, expressing who we are and who we aspire to be as a nation."

"The Confederate statues in the halls of Congress have always been reprehensible. If Republicans are serious about rejecting white supremacy, I call upon Speaker Ryan to join Democrats to remove the Confederate statues from the Capitol immediately."

"There is no room for celebrating the violent bigotry of the men of the Confederacy in the hallowed halls of the United States Capitol or in places of honor across the country."

------------------------------

Why is this suddenly a problem? When she was Speaker why didn't she act then? How is she going to handle Democrat Byrd's statue? Remember he was the one "who shaped history". He certainly did! If the Confederate statues have to come down certainly Byrd's statue, a former member of the KKK, would also have to get the axe.

Interesting to see how this works out.
