Patrick Kennedy reveals the truth about wife’s candidacy

Patrick Kennedy is doing his wife no favors.

In an eyebrow-raising interview, he defended his shady efforts to set up a $500,000 super PAC attacking his wife’s opponents, claiming that setting up the super PAC was fine because it’s better for voters if his wife is “beholden to him.”

Patrick Kennedy also claimed the only reason Amy has a fair shot in this race is “because her last name is Kennedy.”
