Kerry Kennedy jumped on X to champion Dr. Anthony Fauci’s “right to privacy” and call him a “hero” after his journal entries went viral.
She published the gushing post on Tuesday, accusing Senator Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, of “jeopardizing” everyone’s right to privacy when he published the diary excerpts, and included an instance where her own name was mentioned as proof.
Look:
Mum admired you, Dr. Fauci, and considered you a hero, as do I.
Excerpt from Dr. Fauci’s diary: “I received a call from Ethel and Kerry Kennedy explicitly inviting (me) up to Hyannisport for 4th of July weekend. They were so nice over the phone. They said that they loved and… pic.twitter.com/18pOH8ccF0

“Mum admired you, Dr. Fauci, and considered you a hero, as do I,” she wrote. “Excerpt from Dr. Fauci’s diary: ‘I received a call from Ethel and Kerry Kennedy explicitly inviting (me) up to Hyannisport for 4th of July weekend. They were so nice over the phone. They said that they loved and admired me and were so pleased that the Kennedy family could honor me.'”
“There’s a right to privacy in our country, and the left, right, and middle can all agree that publishing someone’s personal diaries is a clear violation,” she continued. “There’s an exception for excerpts that reveal wrongdoing, corruption, or abuse. Sen. Rand Paul jeopardized all our rights when he wholesale published thousands of pages of Dr. Fauci’s personal diaries. That’s no way to treat a citizen. That’s no way to treat a hero.”
Despite locking the comments, she couldn’t stop X users from weighing in on her take:
This post is moronic. It also proves @KerryKennedyRFK inability & unwillingness to be accountable. Just admit you were wrong, Kerry. (which, in turn, means you’d be admitting your brother @RobertKennedyJr was right-and we know you don’t have the intestinal fortitude to do that) https://t.co/QIBp9o9Za6

This was a “diary” on his work server. He was a government employee. He deceived the American people. He lied. Is this a joke?! He’s no hero. He’s a criminal. https://t.co/QbiAXrDgVp

People died alone in care facilities, prohibited from seeing their families, but sure, tell us how devastatingly harmful reading diary excerpts from a public health official is. https://t.co/EC11uLLgHc

This person is a lawyer and thinks a government employee has a legal right to privacy with respect to files stored on government computers. 🤦♀️
If Fauci considered them “personal diaries,” then he should have kept them on his personal computer at home. https://t.co/rI4XxMGdTU

You still admire him? After knowing he lied to you & your Mum?
Or does it just KILL you knowing your brother was 100% correct?
This elitist bitch cares less about the lives that Mendacious Midget™️ ruined than she does about his diary getting published.
Unreal https://t.co/NVbPBeFsc1

What makes her unable to understand the news? @RandPaul didn’t publish Fauci’s pink diary that was left in an Airbnb.
It was on his work servers.
He worked for us via the government. https://t.co/dWYk5Zo4wq
