Today, it is rare that we hear anyone taking responsibility for their own actions. It is even more of a rarity that we hear a son expressing a heartfelt apology for the possible actions of his father.
In this historic radio segment, Saint John Hunt expresses sorrow for any pain that his father, E. Howard Hunt, might have caused to the family of slain President John F. Kennedy. His apology was given during a live broadcast on The Hagmann Report on the 54th “anniversary” of the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
The following is the text:
AN OPEN APOLOGY TO CAROLINE KENNEDY
It is with the deepest respect and honesty that I reach out to you. I feel a great deal of sorrow for actions involving my father which may have led to the death of your father.
In 1963 my father, E Howard Hunt as a CIA officer, had knowledge of plans to eliminate your father, President John F Kennedy. I know this because my father confessed this to me shortly before he died. It is a burden I will always carry.
I cannot imagine the loss you experienced at such a young age. In the ensuing years you have carried yourself with great dignity and reserve in the face of ongoing public speculation about your father’s death. No one has ever, to my knowledge, offered any kind of apology for this horrible and unforgivable crime. It seems an insignificant gesture to apologize, but that is all I am able to do.
So for what it’s worth, I am deeply regretful for my father’s role, whatever it may have been, in the death of your father. I am so sorry that history has been cruel to your family in ways most of us won’t even understand. From the bottom of my heart, I offer this sincere apology and hope that you find it comforting that someone cares enough about you and what you lost to come forward and say “I’m sorry.”
Sincerely, Saint John Hunt
