In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the “Chappaquiddick crash,” which resulted in the tragic death of Mary Jo Kapechne and an enduring “cover-up” scandal, the Associated Press posted a tweet Thursday. But critics quickly noted that the news agency left out some key details from its succinct summary of what happened that infamous night.
“50 years ago today, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy left a party on Chappaquiddick Island near Martha’s Vineyard with Mary Jo Kopechne, 28; some time later, Kennedy’s car went off a bridge into the water. Kennedy was able to escape, but Kopechne drowned,” AP tweeted.
