Joe Kennedy Sr. Was An Awful Father and Human Being
Many people regard President John F. Kennedy as an amazing President before he was assassinated. And they give a lot of credit to his father, Joe Kennedy Sr., for raising not just one, but multiple sons who would go into politics. But it turns out that Joe was actually an awful person. He swindled a woman named Gloria Swandon out of her money, under the guise that he was “investing” it for her. Then he forced his daughter, Rosemary, to get a lobotomy because she was rebellious and had mood swings. He brought her to the hospital to get the procedure done, and did not even tell his wife about it until it was over. The operation completely ruined Rosemary’s life. She was no longer able to speak intelligibly, lost the ability to walk, and had to be put in an institution.
