The Fatal Feud Between Jimmy Hoffa and Robert Kennedy

Weird History | December 20, 2025



As a relative novice to politics and the labor landscape in the United States, Robert F. Kennedy worked as a lawyer for several Senate committees before being appointed chief counsel of the US Senate Select Committee on Improper Activities in Labor and Management in 1957. More commonly referred to as the McClellan Committee, it was where Robert Kennedy and Jimmy Hoffa had some of their most vitriolic exchanges.

Both Hoffa and Kennedy knew how to get under each other’s skin, and their public interactions could be full of tension or riddled with petty jabs at one another. The feud between Hoffa and Kennedy was far from collegial and definitely influenced the lives and careers of both historical figures.

    The fourth idea is about the location to meet, it is ideal to meet at a public location that has enough privacy as to not be interrupted by other patrons.

    Answer, the government. President Eisenhower warned us in his outgoing speech about the government and military industrial complex on their oversight. Always watch the government hold their feet to the fire.

    Quite honestly, this is the dumbest video of these two men I've seen. I was only 12, when the President was killed & i remember everything of those days. Not just from the news, but we lived there, in Hyannis. I saw Hoffa, in a rage, driving an enormous limo/car & he was speeding into my church parking lot, making my mother and me run out of his way‼️ Hoffa wanted the President to see how close he could get! BACK in those days, SS was nil. Hoffa was after the President, although I don't know if he ordered the assignation 😢

    Jimmy’s body was found last summer but the FBI will never admit it. It was found within one block of the Federal Building in Detroit under a road intersection that was literally within eyesight of the FBI offices. The ultimate nose tweak to the Feds.

    Gee, I am seeing a lot of content (all of a sudden on Youtube) that doesn't seem to be showing the Kennedy clan in the best of light. I wonder why?! We all know that Robert Kennedy Jr. has put his name in the hat for the Democrat nomination, but I am sure this is just coincidental. But one can't help but ponder whose side YouTube is on?

    There is nothing strange about the fact that Kennedy was aware of the existence of the Mafia. His father, Joe, may have told him stories – about bootleg alcohol, for example. And how elections are bribed with the help of organized crime…

    Didn't Robert Kennedy drive his car off a bridge with a friend a female and he got out of the car left in the car , got out of the water and went home and left her in the car drown and then the next day he brought it up to his brother there wasnt a investigation , never seen any charges laid against him is that the same guy lol , wasn't his brother John F Kennedy seeing another woman called Marilyn Monroe , behind his wife's back fckin her … is that same guy

    Ah the democrats, complete petty and corrupt. Hoffa may have been corrupt but the Kennedys were classic corrupt democrats. This video shows how the democrats focus on one person they do not like just like they are doing with Trump today. All while they cover up their own crimes like Joe and Hunter Biden.

    All 3 got whacked the 2 brothers because they did not listen to their bootlegging father dum asses and they had it coming to them and if this other kennedy runs in 2024 well do the math as for jimmy. Jimmy was a good man. But certain people wanted jimmy to retire. He did not well you know that story

    A blind man in Tennessee killed Jimmy Hoffa because Hoffa was planning to kill a person who the mafia and Jack Ruby had appointed to tell the whole truth about the JFK assassination 50 years after the JFK assassination. Hoffa didn't think this truthholder could stay quiet till all involved were dead. Hoffa was also afraid his family would fund out about his involvement in the JFK assassination.

    There is nothing mysterious about why FBI director denied there was something like the maffia. The maffia knew things about him that would bust his cleancut image and could prove it. They had photographs of him in – well – a not very standard outfit doing not very standard things some people might have found pretty embarassing. So Hoover kept away from open warfare with the mob and the mob kept their 5 aces in their sleeve.

    It wasn't a personal thing that Kennedy had on Hoffa it was Kennedy wanting to bust the prevent the mob from taking over the labor unions their real power in the mob it was Hoffa that madei it personal and he deserved his conviction Hoffa made the mob more powerful with his interest free loans

    the Kennedy was a Scorpio and Hoffa was an Aquarius.

    Why do Aquarius and Scorpios not get along?

    Because both signs have powerful characters and qualities that are significantly different from one another, it will be difficult for them to connect and respect each other. Scorpio will admire how unrestricted an Aquarius is, while an Aquarius will admire how secretive a Scorpio is.
