Have you ever wondered "how did RFK Jr. become the Secretary of Health and Human Services despite not having a medical degree?" If so, you're not alone and this week Katie takes us through Part 1 of our series on the Kennedy family in general and Rosemary Kennedy in particular, starting with Rosemary's father, original Batman Villain and all around horrific specimen of homo sapiens, Joseph Patrick Kennedy. Strap in because it's a DOOZY.
