Join Sara and Sydney this week as we discuss Chappaquiddick, an incident in 1969 involving then Senator Ted Kennedy and the mysterious death of Mary Jo Kopechne, a young campaign worker. Kennedy drove off a bridge on Chappaquiddick and his passenger, Mary Jo, did not survive. The incident wasn’t reported for hours and the response from the Kennedy family has sparked controversy ever since.
