This Is How the mob got JFK elected #shorts
JFK is known for many things. He was the president, usually regarded as one of our country’s greatest. He was the youngest person ever elected at the time, the only Catholic, and he started the space race that got us to the moon. But one thing that JFK is perhaps most known for, and continues to dominate pop culture for, is that on November 22, 1963, he was shot and killed in Dallas, Texas. The official story of what happened, who killed him, and how, remains to this day a source of extreme controversy.
How JFK was elected
We tend to think of “the mob” as a group of well-dressed thugs that sells drugs, knock over liquor stores, and make people offers they can’t refuse.
And we tend to think of the Kennedys as these great leaders that started the Peace Corps and pushed for civil rights and catapulted the country into the 60s.
JFK’s dad was Joe Kennedy, a rich man who made his fortune by bootlegging alcohol during prohibition. Joe Kennedy had serious mob connections as a result of bootlegging, and he wasn’t afraid to call in favors to help himself and his family gain power.
He was obsessed with making his family as powerful as possible.
He hoped his oldest son Joe Kennedy, Jr. would be president one day.
But fate had other plans for him. Joe Junior was an army pilot and was killed in battle during World War II. So it was up to Joe’s second son John, to become the family’s political head.
Why JFK was assassinated
So why did the mob want JFK killed after everything they’d done to get him elected?
There are actually a few different reasons the mob wanted Kennedy gone.
The first reason was vengeance. When Castro successfully led a Communist revolution in Cuba, the mafia lost a huge source of income.
Havana was like a second Las Vegas. There were casinos and hotels all over the city that Americans flew to whenever they wanted a quick getaway, and most of them were controlled by the mob. When Kennedy failed to get rid of Castro with his Bay of Pigs mishap, the mob took a hit they weren’t prepared for.
Secondly and most importantly, the Mafia had to put an end to JFK’s brother’s crusade against the mob. Joe Kennedy promised that the mob would be safe with JFK in office. What he didn’t count on was that when he helped JFK’s younger brother, Robert Francis Kennedy, become Attorney General under JFK, RFK would make it his personal mission to topple organized crime in the country.
