Faces in the Crowd

I noticed one face in this photo:


Can you tell which one?

I don’t know who she is, the photo is captioned by AP, “Robert Kennedy Jr., left, stands at a rally held in opposition to a proposed bill that would remove parents’ ability to claim a philosophical exemption to opt their school-age children out of the combined measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, Friday, Feb. 8, 2019, at the Capitol in Olympia, Wash. …)AP Photo/Ted S. Warren, File)

Thus she appears to be just another opponent of vaccines. She looks like she could be Irish. I read her idolizing look, she is looking directly at RFK, Jr., as yet another Kennedy fan girl. But, I thought, maybe it’s his wife, so I googled that. Didn’t know he has been married three times. In chronological order:

Emily Ruth Black, 1982-1994
Mary Richardson Kennedy, 1994-2010 (suicide 2012)

Cheryl Ruth Hines, 2014-present. Kennedy offered to separate from her in June. “…[T]he statement that drove Kennedy to propose the separation announcement were his comparisons between the Holocaust and CDC leader Anthony Fauci’s efforts to vaccinate Americans against COVID.

Richardson is obviously rules out as the woman in the photo since she had been dead for seven years. It is also definitely not Hines. If I strain in applying age progression I can’t rule out on photos alone that the woman in the 2019 rally photo is Black, Despite their split, Black and Kennedy have stayed friendly, and Black has even proclaimed their bond in public., but Lord that requires a stretch. 

To a personal standard of at least probability edging to clear and convincing, that is a Kennedy fan girl, which is an extremely non-select group.
