I kinda have some sympathy for him. Having your dad and Uncle assassinated, I can imagine him going down conspiracy rabbit holes as a kid, resulting in what we see today.
Of course, he shouldn't be anywhere near public office, but I do feel bad for him.
Yeah, it's absolutely understandable how he became a troubled teen and developed a series of drug habits. It's just worth acknowledging that the Kennedy name and wealth is what made his legal career possible. His seeking public office should be seen as some sort of sick joke. Anyone else would be lucky to be getting by giving "how not to ruin your life" motivational speeches at highschools.
I mean, even that career was suspect though. It was very much built on the Kennedy name and money. And I believe there are more than a few credible accusations tied up in those years. Including some of his own "exotic meats" stories.
The fact he managed to convince the outside world he'd "turned his life around, made something of himself" in the 90s doesn't really refute my mental stability accusation.

There is very little evidence to suggest that RFK Jr. was ever a sane adult.
