RFK's Daughter Says The Kennedy Brothers Would Have Done The Ice Bucket Challenge

Obama declined -- though he did donate money to an ALS charity -- but Ethel Kennedy's daughter Rory Kennedy thinks the president should still take the plunge, she told HuffPost Live during a conversation about hew new film, "Last Days In Vietnam." She added that she thinks her father RFK and his brother John F. Kennedy would have been game for the viral challenge.

"I hate to project anything that they would have done, but I have to imagine they would have gone for it without a hesitation," Rory Kennedy said.
