Kennedy’s comments are published in a new book entitled “Jacqueline Kennedy; Historic Conversations on Life with John F. Kennedy.”
The book is based on interviews she had with former Kennedy aide Arthur M. Schesinger Jr. with specific instructions that they were not going to be made public until after her death.
She called King a “phony” after she heard that there were FBI tapes of King with women in his hotel. Kennedy also criticized King for mocking Cardinal Richard Cushing, who celebrated mass during her husband’s funeral at St. Mathews Cathedral.
