| In 1969, Senator Edward Moore Ted Kennedy, D-MA, left a party on Chappaquiddick Island near Marthas Vineyard with Mary Jo Kopechne, 28; Kennedys car later went off a bridge into the water. Kennedy was able to escape, but Kopechne drowned. And Kennedy went home without reporting it. #EdwardKennedy #Chappaquiddick The Kennedy family called in every favor to pull this off. Chappaquiddick probably prevented Edward Kennedys election to President, but it didnt prevent him being a Senator? |
