Leave it to notorious philanderer Bill Clinton to spice up a eulogy for Ethel Kennedy with inappropriate comments about how she used to “innocently” flirt with him.
The cringe reference is not only bizarre, it’s downright creepy and it raised eyebrows at a ceremony meant to convey respect and condolences on the passing of Robert Kennedy’s widow. Instead, Clinton made it all about himself in a disturbing but not unpredictable way in front of family members and powerful politicians.
“During his remarks at the Kennedy matriarch’s funeral Wednesday afternoon in Washington, D.C., Clinton revealed to the crowd what he really thought of Robert Kennedy’s widow,” the Daily Mail reported.
“I thought your mother was the cat’s meow,” Clinton commented concerning the late 96-year-old to family members. “She would flirt with me in the most innocent ways.”

Then the former president joked about how Kennedy had 11 children.
“I remember once I said ‘You know we’re not at replacement population anymore and all the politics are anti-immigrant, what are we gonna do?'” Clinton quipped. “We need more people like you.”
It’s the second time in a week that Clinton has referred to the “Replacement Theory” concerning illegal immigrants.

RFK Jr. attended a private ceremony for Ethel Kennedy on Monday in Cape Cod, Massachusetts with his wife Cheryl Hines despite the falling out he’s had with his family over his support for former President Trump.
Both President Biden and former President Barack Obama attended the funeral and made their own stir by speaking with each other while looking tense at the event.
Users on X just couldn’t resist yet another gaffe and awkward appearance by an aging Bill Clinton:
