BTW they hated each other. Doesn't sound like it here
RFK probably knew that LBJ recorded his phone calls.
They might not like each other, but governing the nation to is a higher priority.
jojopuppyfish it's called politics.
LBJ called Bobby a grandstanding little runt.
RFK called Johnson an animal.
The origin for this by the way was the fact that JFK offered LBJ the vice presidency, and Bobby tried to persuade him off the ticket, and Johnson never forgave him.
It was, as someone said, a matter of chemistry.
Bobby was clearly ambitious to get things done the way his brother would have done, and Johnson was insecure that Bobby was trying to discredit and undermine him.
Aides considered Johnson a manic depressive.
Glad you know what went on inside these 2 great mens minds.
@@randyharris3175 Schlesinger, Bohrer, Manchester, Caro, etc., give us many similar characterizations of the LBJ/RFK relationship. As a kid growing up near the Johnson political neighborhood, even I was aware of this.
@@randyharris3175 Are you historically illiterate?
There is also the story of how LBJ blackmailed JFK with a huge file that was delivered to JFKs hotel room. Suddenly LBJ was on ticket as Vice. Check out LBJs years as Governor in Texas. About 19 people or so.. disappeared..
Rfk had to pretend to like lbj
Why? that's nonsense.
The Kennedys clearly believed LBJ was involved in JFK's assassination
@@randyharris3175 They really hated each other. RFK did not want Johnson to be Vice.
Bobby so incredibly much smarter than the man in office. LBJ HATED how the "Irish mob" humiliated him. And there´s the party in Texas! The nation was grieving, but at a mansion in Dallas (Help me out here) there was champagne flowing for a week! LBJ attended that party with his mistress. Was nixon there? At least several oil barons and other traitors.
J is walking on ege shells ...bk walking with iron....
