Tail-gunner Joe was definatly given a hatchet job.
Wasn’t Joe involved with one of JFK’s sisters, perhaps engaged? I know he did not marry her but I understand he was close to Joseph Kennedy. Also, if I am not mistaken, Eleanor Roosevelt did not support JFK for the nomination because he was “absent” on the day of the censure vote for Senator McCarthy.
And at least one running for POTUS. ;-)
