'Chappaquiddick' Trailer Reveals Unsavory Ted Kennedy

If anybody feared that the upcoming Chappaquiddick movie would be a whitewash of Ted Kennedy, the recently released trailer should disabuse them of that notion. Legal Insurrection describes the movie as the "portrait of a weasel." Kate Erbland of IndieWire reviewed it as a Compelling Teddy Kennedy Biopic That Pulls No Punches.

I might have to watch that one. Will even venture out to a movie theater to see it, to which I haven’t graced the inside of in decades.

Beyond weasel.

That fat, never worked day in his life, scumbag, piece of shlt is well beyond weasel status. May he be enjoying his place in hell right about now. And may the Clinton's join him soon.

One more wonderful icon of the rat party. The entire Kennedy clan lived in Camelot’s bliss. JFK led a very similar life but cut short by the commies he challenged, somewhat.

There’s an alt theory that he wasn’t even driving the car when it went over the bridge. He’s a giant weasel in that version too.

I don’t know if I can stomach this movie. Not because of a lack of quality, but because the story itself is so disgusting.

Isn’t it nice of them to tell us the story, now, when nothing can be done about it. This reminds me of David Remnick’s condemnation of the Soviet Union’s despotism and economic failure —after the Soviet Union had already collapsed. But when the liberals were ridiculing President Reagan for calling the USSR an evil empire and their economy Mickey Mouse, where was David Reminck to support him? And where were these critics when Teddy was the powerful “Liberal Lion” of the Senate?

Ted Kennedy’s life gave us a good idea of what his brothers would have become had they lived into old age.

Imagine John F. Kennedy as an aging, divorced satyr during the 1990s, kept half-alive from Addison’s Disease by quack treatments.

Imagine Robert F. Kennedy morphing into an inflexible social liberal, marching in gay pride parades, advocating abortion on demand as a father of ten, and blaming America on CNN right after 9/11.

The Camelot myth could not possibly have been made if they had lived to become the shambolic bog Irish they always were.

I know someone that has a second cousin who has a friend that has connections with the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port. The word, although they are trying to keep it secret, is that if the Chappaquiddick movie is released, Ted Kennedy will not run for president on 2020.

Funny that this movie gets made now, that all the Kennedy brothers are dead and none of their progeny are prominent in political life. Just like Bill Clinton's harassment of women is now being condemned, after he and Hillary are out of the political picture. What's next, a movie about the evil FDR sending US citizens of Japanese descent to concentration camps, upheld by his stacked Supreme Court? Liberals are good at looking at bad stuff in the rear view mirror.

Somehow, I can't help thinking it will be made into an anti-Trump screed.

At one time I read a very detailed timeline format re Chappaquididick - the reason it took him so long to raise the alarm was because of the time he spent trying to talk one of his cousins into saying he was driving. Don’t know whether that is covered in the “new movie”.

“Kate Erbland of IndieWire reviewed it as a Compelling Teddy Kennedy Biopic That Pulls No Punches.”

Sorry, Newsbusters, but here is the subtitle of that same Erbland review:

“A nuanced portrait of Kennedy during one of the worst (and most formative) events of his life.”

Nuanced?? Formative?? What nuance can there possibly be to this story? I certainly haven’t seen the movie yet, but until a conservative I trust does and tells me differently, I will never expect Hollywood to tell the REAL story on this. NEVER.

Don’t forget this POS gave us the immigration act of 1965 that has almost destroyed our country!

Just like the corrupt Clintons and that muslim Marxist reprobate evil demonic Obama creature, the rules never applied to Teddy during all this years of his life on this Earth,

They do now,
