I saw the film yesterday. While it is a dramatization, the script is factual and well balanced. It is not character assassination to point out that Ted Kennedy behaved in a cowardly manner and that Mary Jo Kopechne probably could have been saved if he had acted responsibly.

My only two criticisms of the film are these: 1) The movie made little reference to the fact that there was a house with a telephone within easy walking distance of the bridge. Kennedy walked by it without stopping to have a call placed to summon help; 2) the closing titles of the movie suggest that Kennedy subsequently became a mature and responsible adult and a model statesman as a result of Chappaquiddick — there is ample evidence that this characterization is largely untrue.

Being a Democrat means being for death of life and death of individual freedom. Wise up, Americans...this current Democrat Party needs to be destroyed politically, from top to bottom!!!

From Chappaquiddick (Murderer, Democrat, Ted Kennedy) to Broward County Florida, innocents were murdered and slaughtered because of the failure of Democrats to protect the innocent (Sheriff Scott Israel & the FBI)

Wake & Wise-up, Americans...Democrats care only for themselves...not any of you!!!

Ted unknowingly did America a favor by “Borking” Judge Bork.
Bork admitted he couldn't find the RKBA in our constitution or its amendments.

One must have character before it can be assassinated. Clearly, he did not. Call this an expose’.

Ironic. Sympathy for a white privileged politician guilty of wrongful death, negligence, and drunk driving.

NYT are shills for the swamp and the deep state.

Teddy is the poster child for the untouchable, too big to jail deep state swamp creature. In effect, he is emblematic of current swamp creatures that have committed crimes at the FBI, DOJ, 0bama, and Hitlery.

I haven’t seen it yet, but if truly depicts Teddy’s dirty deed and his success in evading justice, it will be very popular.

The little people are sick and tired of being ruled by a tyrannical state while the swamp creatures in government and politicians literally get away with murder.

Maybe in 20 years we’ll have a move in called Arkancide that tells all about the Klintoons.

“There actually was no “cover-up” of Kennedy’s car accident that led to the death of an aide” ... “no one but the most lunatic conspiracy theorists see this as anything but a tragic accident in which nothing much was covered up.””

Apparently this guy didn’t read what he wrote.

Three generations of our poorly educated had no clue what scum the guy was. Now they know as they sit there in open mouthed shock.

NY Times Op-Ed: Chappaquiddick Film Is ‘Character Assassination’ of Ted Kennedy

Anyone old enough to remember Chappaquiddick should see clearly how F'n FAR LEFT the NY Slimes leans.

Kennedy flees the scene of an accident where the girl he's with is left to drown and the Slimes wants the world to believe he's NOT getting a fair shake?

Here's an apt description that fits BOTH Kennedy and the NY Slimes.. WHAT A PIECE OF $HIT!

Gabler is a long time lackey. No surprise he would spew this irritable drivel in a futile defense of the psychopath Kennedy.

"outright falsehood = leftist lie"

Similar to their continuing "character assassination" of Joe McCarthy.

Somehow, though, they don't quite see it that way.

This reaction is Gabler being scared to death the film will undercut his sales of his upcoming book...

Who wants to read a book about the POS Ted Kennedy after seeing this film?

He's got to prop up the drunk and negligent homicide Senator.

The myth of Camelot is long dead and forgotten...

Kennedy’s character died of suicide not assassination.

“When it came to a woman’s life, he ran, leaving her to die.
A philanderer’s cowardice.
That’s all I need to know about this creep.”

No wonder Teddy’s wife became an alcoholic.
