OMG: 'Chappaquiddick' review in NYT sees other Kennedy-defending hot takes & says 'hold my beer!'

As Twitchy told you earlier, Jill Filipovic’s take on the new film “Chappaquiddick” was indeed hot, but there’s plenty of heat to go around for those who also think the movie was unfair… to Ted Kennedy:

Wait, what!?

Here’s are snips that sounds like they could have been written by a Kennedy family publicist:

Ted Kennedy has not passed into the public domain in this sense, so one tampers with his life at the peril of turning it into tawdry melodrama. This is especially true of the Kennedy family, who remain politically active, and divisive.

Contrary to the film’s implications, Mr. Kennedy immediately and forever after felt deep remorse and responsibility for the accident; it haunted him. By the end of his life, however, the then white-maned senator had managed to transcend celebrity and emotional paralysis and become what he had long aspired to be: an indispensable legislator whose achievements included the 18-year-old vote, the Americans With Disabilities Act and the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
[…]
Fake history is no better than fake news; it’s maybe worse. It is very possible that over time, through the osmosis of social media, the despicable Kennedy of this movie will eradicate the honorable if flawed real one.

Kennedy was so “haunted” that it didn’t trouble him in the least to name one of his dogs “Splash”? This review was yet another that sent heads to desks:

And the movie just came out, so the hot takes about “Chappaquiddick” are probably far from over.
