Keli Carender, Young Republican Chairman in Washington State, agreed that Kennedy’s life was not one that awarded women much respect.
“A man who supports women's rights starts by immediately notifying the police when he has driven off of a bridge so that the woman stuck inside his car, drowning, might have a chance to live,” she said.
“I could not comprehend how a man that had blatantly committed criminally negligent homicide not only managed to wriggle out of any legal consequences, but eventually went on to become the ‘Lion’ of the Senate and the champion of women and the poor,” said Carender. “I was outraged to look back on all the years of support that women's groups gave to Kennedy.”
