You know what's crazy? Lately there seem to be more and more extremists whose families are normal. Like RFK Jr or Jesse Waters

I don't know that I'd call the Kennedys normal. I don't know enough about Waters to comment on that. (Though I love that Ryan Grim clocked him once.)

The Kennedy family is a prime example of a assimilated Irish family, normal on the surface right fucking horrible within. My kin make fun of them.
