The nondescript white cardboard box sat in a darkened corner of the attic, forgotten for years. It was only when the box was opened that its gruesome contents were revealed. Neatly folded inside, still stained with the blood of President John F Kennedy, rested the pink suit worn by First Lady Jackie Kennedy on November 22, 1963, when her husband was shot dead in Dallas.
The astonishing revelation that the Chanel outfit, one of the most symbolic items of clothing in history, sat unattended for two decades in the attic of the Washington DC home of Jackie's mother, Janet Auchincloss, is one of a series of bombshells in a new book

The more you learn about her the less you care.

This will be interesting. I was eight when JFK was assassinated and it was a big deal in our family. My Irish Catholic parents were thrilled. Just a few months before the election my Dad had been turned down for a job because they had never had "a Catholic" work for them before. The Irish part was just the icing on that cake. I would come home from school and watch the Press Conferences. I think it was the catalyst for my love of how our government works.
My third grade Catholic school class was devastated as the news of the assassination played over the PA as we all prayed the Rosary. Our tears were not political, they were for two little kids without a daddy. I remember so much about those four days, and watched as Oswald was murdered on TV.
Years later, as my family became Republican's, (Roe vs Wade sealed that deal) the news had leaked about the affairs, Marilyn, Old Joe's ambitions, etc., my parents were angry about being lied to. Especially the devout Catholic facade. They would never have supported him had they known.
Now come's Bobby Jr. I could not in conscience ever vote for him but I do love that he has thrown a great big monkey wrench in Joe's well oiled machine. He's saying things about the vaccine that many of the Dems may never have heard before. He acknowledges that there is an elite behind the scenes and that the FBI and DOJ have been weaponized. Will he wake up enough sane Democrats?
Now, the old Kennedy dirt is brought out to stop RFK. Sixty years they covered for the Kennedys. Can you imagine Donald Trump injuring a young girl in a accident and running away leaving her to die by drowning only to become the "Lion of the Senate? THAT'S called having the press on your side! It will be interesting to see how deep they will dig. Good Luck RFK.

She was his second wife. JFK was divorced from his first wife, courtesy of daddy Joe. And maybe hard to believe, but some of us never cared for her. She likely wasn't as popular as people think. And when did she clutch JFK's body? All I remember is her trying to crawly out the back of the car til a secret service agent pushed her back in.

To see your husband's head blow apart from 6.5 x 52 mm rifle will stick with you for life. She died young. All the money in the world never made her happy. It's a shame to be so superficial.

DM fixed the errant apostrophe from the headline, assuming it was ever actually there (the apostrophe, that is).
Kind of like Jackie clambered on the back hood after a piece of skull that flew from his head, assuming it was ever actually there (the piece of skull, that is).

This is not exactly breaking news. Jimmy Carter kept his pants on but he was a horrible president. My interest in JFK waned decades ago. He was a war hero who used that to enter politics. Audie Murphy and Alvin York were war heroes but they stayed out of politics. Jack and Jackie were photogenic but that's it. JFK betrayed the Cuban Freedom Fighters at the Bay of Pigs and almost started WWIII with the Missiles of October. He's no hero to me.

So Jackie was as big a whore as her husband. Didn’t know that.

Not much that hasn't been said before. I always heard the secretary kept Jackie's pink hat and then played dumb about it's whereabouts - even on her deathbed.

This little tidbit FTA was interesting: ~~"Jackie donated her suit to the US National Archives. It remains in a temperature-controlled room with strict orders from her for it to not go on display until 2103 – 140 years after the assassination." ~~

Jackie prostituted herself to Aristotle Onassis for 14 Million dollars
A lot of money to pay for a whore, but Onassis didn't want her for sex he wanted her to humiliate the United States. She sold high, but she sold.

I've always found Jackie's breathy, little girl voice irritating in the extreme. If memory serves, the Kennedy women described it as her "babykins" voice. I can forgive her golddigging since she came by it naturally - her mother was just as bad.

I read that she was not trying to escape the limousine but trying to recover his brains. Whatever you think of Jackie, that was the horror of horrors. In spite of his unfaithfulness she loved him.

Who wrote that headline?
The plural of Kennedy is Kennedys.
The day of the educated professional has long passed.

I believe she was retrieving a piece of her husband’s skull, #3.

Seems to me I remember reading about this decades ago, that Jackie was fed up with JFK's cheating and she wanted to divorce him. But Papa Joe paid her something like $3million to stay put. He was going to see a son in the WH, and darn the cost. As to the cheating, Papa Joe was the family king of cheaters. He especially loved the Hollywood stars like Gloria Swanson. Can't expect his sons to be moral and chaste given his example. Even his daughters were bed hoppers to the point where Joe lobotomized Rosemary because he didn't want a scandal.
Jackie was the least of the Kennedy family's problems.

"...bombshell"?
William Manchester's "Death of a President", p. 367. 1967: "Unknown to her, the clothes Mrs. Kennedy wore into the bright midday glare of Dallas lie in an attic not far from 3017 N Street. In Bethesda that night those closest to her had vowed that from the moment she shed them she should never see them again. She hasn’t. Yet they are still there, in one of two long brown paper cartons thrust between roof rafters. The first is marked 'September 12, 1953,' the date of her marriage; it contains her wedding gown. The block-printed label on the other is 'Worn by Jackie, November 22, 1963.'"

#12 and #14 are correct. The poor lady had just seen her husband's head blown apart. His brains were laying all around, and she was trying to retrieve a piece of skull and brain on the trunk lid. Also, Secret Service agent Clint Hill was half way on the back of the convertible Lincoln, and she probably saw him there and didn't want him to fall off.

Somebody is timing this to take whatever fondness people had for the Kennedy era and the RFK optimism and trash it some more. Jackie was always off limits. The people propping up Biden have a lot of power and are obviously fearful of any Kennedy nostalgia taking hold, maybe even as Trumps VP.

In 1963 JFK was a hero to many. The media since then have printed anything it could to diminish his reputation. If the public thought, in 1963, that the assassination was an inside job, there would have been chaos. Now? Not so much.

Bill and Hillary Clinton tried to portray themselves as Camelot II. We laughed, but it looks like they were closer than we thought.
Except Jackie liked men.
