Meet the Other Kennedy Who’s Gone MAGA — And She’s at the Heart of Trump’s Efforts to Dismantle the “Deep State”
While Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been the face of the Kennedy family’s embrace of Trump’s America First agenda, there’s another Kennedy making waves in Washington—and she’s not looking back. Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, the daughter-in-law of RFK Jr., has emerged as a key player in Trump’s administration, tasked with reining in the intelligence community’s “black budgets.” Her story, detailed by Townhall, is a fascinating tale of a Kennedy turning MAGA, and it’s one that’s reshaping the narrative of a family once synonymous with liberal politics.
Fox Kennedy’s role as associate director for Intelligence and International Affairs at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under Russell Vought is no small feat. She’s overseeing the entire CIA budget, along with the 17 other agencies that make up the intelligence community, a job that puts her at the heart of Trump’s efforts to dismantle what he calls the “deep state.” Townhall reports that Fox Kennedy, passed over for a CIA position herself, now wields significant influence, ensuring that “not a penny of taxpayer dollars is wasted.” Her approach is pragmatic, rooted in a desire to align the intelligence apparatus with Trump’s vision, a stark contrast to the family’s historical stance.
This isn’t just about policy; it’s personal. Fox Kennedy’s journey to MAGA land is a story of disillusionment with the status quo and a belief in Trump’s ability to disrupt it. “The federal government has been weaponized against the American people,” Vought told Townhall, a sentiment Fox Kennedy echoes. Her work with Tulsi Gabbard, now director of National Intelligence, and John Ratcliffe, director of the CIA, is part of a broader effort to “end the weaponization for good.” For Trump supporters, she’s a hero; for critics, she’s a betrayal of the Kennedy legacy.
The reaction on X has been mixed. Conservatives like Charlie Kirk and Dan Bongino have praised her as a “patriot,” while progressives decry her as a “turncoat.” But for Fox Kennedy, the choice is clear. “I like to be in the plumbing,” she told Townhall, a metaphor for her willingness to get her hands dirty in the fight for transparency and efficiency. As the Kennedy family continues to fracture over Trump, Amaryllis Fox Kennedy stands as a reminder that loyalty isn’t just about blood—it’s about belief. And she’s not looking back.
