So poor Teddy got a bump on the head and wasn’t responsible for his actions afterward? But then, being the upstanding moral person that he is, he felt guilty and took responsibility. And that opened the door for those nasty conservatives to attack him ever since. Oh, the poor martyred saint!!
Fortunately there's enough evidence and witnesses around to refute Hersch's absurd claims. If he had sustained a bump on the head, hard enough to cause a concussion and/or bruising, why no bandages around the head of ole Teddy after the accident?
That would have been played to the hilt if that were the case.
Scrub, scrub, scrub. Sorry. Too late. Story is etched in stone in the brain of 90 percent of the population. He “was a bad driver” is not an excuse for leaving that woman to die in his car. This is not 1970 and the Kennedys can no longer buy off the media.
What!?!
History revisionism is alive and well.
“Ted was a terrible driver. He never paid much attention to where he was going.”
Same for his political career.....
“He took a tremendous blow on the head,” says Hersh. In interviews following the crash, Kennedy displayed confusion and amnesia, he says.

Man! The comment I could make. But it’s distasteful and disrepectful of Mary Jo.
Better leave it unsaid.
Moronic mental gymnastics.
This is truly what they believe: Power entitlement. Treat yourself well and to hell with the peons...they are there for your amusement.
You belong to history and deserve a legacy - so make one up.
Always dreaming up new ways to weasel out of responsibility.
The Kennedy family has always been a group of disreputable vermin. Let the historians try to whitewash this. There are those of us who remember.
Ted and his handlers were guilty of criminal conspiracy in not coming to the aid of his passenger or notifying authorities in a timely manner.
Deal with it.
Ted also boasted of numerous affairs near the time of his death.
Deal with it.
The body and the car were found in a tidal channel on Chappaquiddick Island, Massachusetts, on the morning of July 19, 1969. After the discovery, Kennedy gave a statement to police saying that on the previous night Kopechne was his passenger when he took a wrong turn and accidentally drove his car off a bridge into the water. After pleading guilty to a charge of leaving the scene of an accident after causing injury, he received a suspended sentence.
Bump on the head, that no one ever saw made him wait ALL NIGHT. Not.
vaudine
Two facts they can NEVER change
One, he was a drunk and two, he was a spineless murderer.
Seymour Hersh? He is a far-Left lunatic like Howard Zinn, trying to re-write history to un-defile the Communists losers.
And here it begins, the re-writing of the history to clear the name of one of the anointed ones from America’s Camelot.
I still think he was just a fat a$$ drunk that got away with killing the poor girl but money covered it. He went on to help tear America apart. That’s the real legacy.
Yes, enough so that he spent the next 12 hours with his handler/lawyer concocting his story. A sick piece of shit whose legacy need not be renovated, period, if you ask me.
By the way, Ted, congratulations on the year of sobriety!
