Many noticed that Kerry Kennedy had a raspy voice during her several interviews following Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent candidacy for the US Presidential race, which concerned many about her health. Many even speculated that she has a neurological condition.
The 64-year-old American lawyer, author, and human rights activist, Kenny Kennedy, took the limelight as she criticized her brother’s decision to run for the elections.
Further, she has discussed the topic with several news channels, including CNN and MSNBC, where viewers can notice her different voice and speaking patterns.
Looking at her family history, her brother Robert dealt with a condition called Spasmodic Dysphonia, which is a state that often results in a shaky, tight, or strained-sounding voice. Still, it doesn’t affect other functions of the vocal cords.

In a recent interview, Kerry’s voice trembled, which many users on Twitter commented on: “Kerry Kennedy, Robert Jr.’s sister, has a very strong message, and yet it seems like she has the same voice issues her brother has.”
Further, other family members suffer from the condition as well, but Kenny’s voice isn’t as serious as her brother’s, as he is tough to follow.
Sadly, the condition is genetic and has no known cure yet, so Kerry Kennedy has embraced her unique voice despite constant questioning.
Kerry Kennady has voiced her concerns about her brother’s association with Trump!
Before Joe Biden dropped out of the Presidential run, Kerry showed her full support to the candidate, going against her brother’s wishes.
Moreover, she slammed former President Donald Trump for spreading outrageous lies and officially announced her family’s support for Biden.
Kerry claimed that Robert’s behavior was dishonorable to their late father, Robert F. Kennedy’s entire legacy, and his contributions to the current political scene of the States.

However, the public reception of Kerry’s words wasn’t as expected, as people expressed on Twitter: “To me, Kerry looks like she was reading from a script. She kept looking down as if she had sticky notes on her monitor! It’s clear that she’s a puppet for the left and suffers from stage 5 TDS,” referring to her interview with Jen Psaki.
Despite knowing about her vocal condition, people haven’t held back on criticism, which has heightened since her recent appearances in the media.
Following the same interview, one of the users expressed, “What is wrong with the speaking voices of RFK’s children? RFK, Jr. can barely speak, and Kerry has the same staccato speaking voice. There is something wrong with their vocal cords or something else. Not easy to listen to.“
Regardless of her political standings, decency while commenting on Kerry’s voice is essential, as she cannot change her genetic condition.
