Kerry Defends Ted Kennedy: ‘He Stood Up And Owned Moments Where He Knew He Stepped Over the Line’
Washington Free Beacon, Oct 2, 2018,  Cameron Cawthorne

[...]

Following an exchange about sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh, who has denied all claims, Tapper asked Kerry about Kennedy and Clinton.

"I've heard Ted Kennedy's name invoked in the last week or two and Bill Clinton's name invoked in the last week or two by  conservatives saying Democrats seeded the moral high ground on a lot of these sexual assault and sexual harassment issues by standing by people like Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy because of the good things in their view that they did," Tapper said.

Kerry pushed back by saying that "many of us were critical" of Clinton and then pivoted to talking about how he personally did not believe that Clinton's actions were impeachable. Clinton's sexual relationship in the 1990s with Monica Lewinsky, who was a young White House intern at the time, led to impeachment proceedings against the 42nd president when he was caught lying under oath.

Tapper followed up by asking him about Kennedy, prompting Kerry to say that people have also been critical of his actions, adding that Kennedy was critical of himself.

"He stood up and owned moments where he knew he'd stepped over the line, so I think that—and he wasn't about to be nominated to a lifetime position," Kerry said. "In fact, he said to the people of Massachusetts, if you think I shouldn't stay here, then, you know—he took those returns and then he was elected another six times."

'Waitress Sandwich' Would Be Costly Today

Kevin Rennie     |     Nov 16 2017

ve been wondering what the cost of a "waitress sandwich" is today. In 1985, there was no price for the powerful to pay for one.

One night three decades ago, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. D-Mass., and his admiring protege Sen. Christopher J. Dodd, D-Conn., reportedly took their dates to a fancy Washington, D.C., restaurant, La Brasserie. Plenty of alcohol had been consumed.

When the meal was coming to an end, the two women accompanying the senators repaired to the ladies' room. A waitress, Carla Gaviglio, was summoned to the private dining room by two members of the world's most deliberative body.

In a lightning strike, Kennedy allegedly picked up Gaviglio and threw her on the table, knocking plates and other items to the floor. He reportedly lifted her up again and put her on top of Dodd, who was seated in a chair. Kennedy then engaged in an attack that continued until another employee entered the room and joined Gaviglio in screaming, causing others to enter the room.

Oh, those high-spirited U.S. senators. They had gone out on the town in our nation's capital and created a new dish, the waitress sandwich.  .  .  .

And to have the know traitor John F'n Kerry defending you is enough to make even Ted roll over in his grave. 

On second thought, maybe not.

Kerry is the perfect person to call murder 'stepping over the line'.

 John Kerry  is playing a little bit of revisionism here

The Democrat party, the media, and feminist were not critical of Bill Clinton’s behavior. In fact, they went after those women who accused him with a vengeance

On earth, there was no consequence to his sin.  He was honored and revered by the left his entire, rancid life.

Bottom line: Kennedy killed a woman and then tried to cook up a convincing story to keep his career alive.
He should have apologized to the family, submitted himself to the authorities for possible criminal charges, and most importantly QUIT HIS JOB!!!
He should have been totally penitent. But we know the Kennedys are never sorry about anything they've done. It's all about the power, money, and glory.

Ted Kennedy did not just step over the line.
 
He also drove over it.

John Kerry: Chappaquiddick is okay because Ted Kennedy 'owned up' to it

John Kerry: Chappaquiddick is okay because Ted Kennedy 'owned up' to it
By J. Marsolo

In 1969, John Kerry accused the U.S. military of terrorism and war crimes in Vietnam.  In 2003, Kerry described the U.S. military in Iraq as terrorists.

This week, Kerry appeared on CNN's The Lead with Jake Tapper to peddle his new book, Every Day Is Extra.  Kerry took time off from trying to undermine U.S. policy toward Iran and playing with his yacht to inform us that Teddy Kennedy, also known as Teddy the Swimmer,  "owned up" to Chappaquiddick:

    He stood up and owned moments where he knew he'd stepped over the line, so I think that – and he wasn't about to be nominated to a lifetime position, in fact, he said to the people of Massachusetts, if you think I shouldn't stay here, then, you know – he took those returns and then he was elected another six times.
