Re the recent claim in the news by Jack R. Worthington II (born in Texas in November 1961) that he is the illegitimate son of President John F. Kennedy.
Follow-up reports have said that his mother’s uncle, a Texas judge, was a long-time ally of Lyndon Johnson, and that Johnson introduced her to Kennedy.
What makes this unlikely is that during the time when Jack II would have been conceived, Kennedy was only in DC and Virginia, while Jack II’s mother was married, and she and her husband were undergraduates at college in southwest Texas.
Is there any evidence in the historical record that Lyndon Johnson served as a procurer of women for John Kennedy? Given the frosty relationship between the two men, it just sounds unlikely.
I’m sure there’s no mention of this in Robert Caro’s magisterial biography of Johnson (3 volumes so far, taking us up to the Kennedy assassination). And if Caro couldn’t find any record of this I’ll lay odds that it just wasn’t there to be found.
I would not put ANYTHING past lyndon Johnson-the man was incredibly corrupt. His senate run was an example-he had friends stuffing ballot boxes with forged ballots. Also, he was a big friend of Billy Sol estes-who later went to jail for multiple wire fraud and mail fraud convictions. Judgeships? No problem-if you were willing to pay, johnson would sell you one.
Has this guy in Canada agreed to a DNA test? Just think-“Uncle” ted might have a new nephew!
Robert Caro’s book is the book on Johnson. It’s the work of a lifetime and still not complete. First volume came out in 1982, next one in 1990, third in 2002. Three massive books and we’re still only up to 1960!
