Sorry, however this man desires to be president?!?
In case you didn’t know, Cheryl Hines is married to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. — son of the late Attorney General and nephew of President John F. Kennedy. And he’s adopted his well-known household into politics — to the purpose he’s thrown his hat into the ring for 2024!
Yes, RFK Jr. is a Democrat, however like fellow fringe candidate Marianne Williamson, he’s determined to problem incumbent Joe Biden for the nomination. As if the get together would select another person over the one that can boast the qualification of at the moment being President of the United States.

But Cheryl is standing by her man’s aspect as he embarks on this pointless endeavor. In truth, the couple gave a joint interview in The New York Times over the weekend during which she confirmed her assist. She stated:
“I support Bobby and I want to be there for him, and I want him to feel loved and supported by me.”
She’s positively sending a message of assist. For him being President. The motive that is coming throughout as so wild is due to what occurred with them final yr — what we noticed AND what we didn’t.
Let’s rewind…
OK, so the platform RFK Jr. might be finest identified for today just isn’t getting employees a correct wage, ensuring everybody has entry to healthcare, getting billionaires and firms to pay their share, not one of the stuff Dems normally deal with. It’s being an anti-vaxxer. Kennedy was approach forward of the curve on this one! Long earlier than right-wingers recommended COVID vaccines have been monitoring gadgets or secret euthanasia or some other nonsense, RFK Jr. was main the cost in opposition to extra frequent vaccines. Like measles, mumps, and rubella, that sort of factor. Way again in 2005 he was pushing the debunked idea that autism was attributable to vaccines.

In 2022 there was a a lot greater base for anti-vaccine conspiracy theories. We marvel if that’s why Bobby went so overboard — as a result of he infamously stated throughout a rally:
“Even in Hitler’s Germany, you could cross the Alps into Switzerland, you can hide in the attic like Anne Frank did. I visited in 1962, East Germany with my father and met people who climbed the wall and escaped. Many died doing it, but it was possible. Today the mechanisms are being put in place that will make it so none of us can run and none of us can hide.”
Yeah. He not solely invoked Anne Frank and in contrast what she went by means of to being handled with medical developments, he someway got here down on the aspect of claiming the Holocaust wasn’t as dangerous. Oof.
Even Cheryl needed to converse out in opposition to that one. The Curb Your Enthusiasm star was tagged in a response to the Auschwitz Memorial‘s tweet about it. They wrote:
“Exploiting of the tragedy of people who suffered, were humiliated, tortured & murdered by the totalitarian regime of Nazi Germany – including children like Anne Frank – in a debate about vaccines & limitations during global pandemic is a sad symptom of moral & intellectual decay.”
Someone requested Cheryl if she stands together with her husband, to which she responded:
“My husband’s opinions are not a reflection of my own. While we love each other, we differ on many current issues.”
Another tweeter recommended a response for her, writing:
“How about this? ‘No one should compare anything to the horrors of the Holocaust. My husband was wrong to do so.’”
To which Cheryl truly wrote, “I agree with you.” The subsequent morning, she launched a stronger assertion, saying:
“My husband’s reference to Anne Frank at a mandate rally in D.C. was reprehensible and insensitive. The atrocities that millions endured during the Holocaust should never be compared to anyone or anything. His opinions are not a reflection of my own.”
“Reprehensible and insensitive.” But presidential? Sure! LOLz! Kennedy clearly felt the backlash, together with in his own residence, as a result of he later issued his personal apology, tweeting:
“I apologize for my reference to Anne Frank, especially to families that suffered the Holocaust horrors. My intention was to use examples of past barbarism to show the perils from new technologies of control. To the extent my remarks caused hurt, I am truly and deeply sorry.”
Anyway, that’s what all of us noticed. What occurred behind the scenes was a lot, a lot stranger!
In the NYT profile, Bobby acquired very critical about defending Cheryl amid the controversy. He was so determined to get her out of sizzling water, in truth, that he had a daring concept. They might faux their divorce! He defined:
“I saw how it was affecting her life and I said to her, ‘We should just announce that we are separated,’ so that you can have some distance from me.”
What? Sorry, WHAT?! He continued:
“We wouldn’t really be doing anything, we would just — I felt so desperate about protecting her at a time where my statements and my decisions were impacting her.”
OK, we now have an alternate choice. Maybe in case you see how a lot backlash there’s to your concepts, with even your individual spouse voicing her offense, possibly rethink? Look how deep you’ve gone down the rabbit gap and notice it’s time to tug again? No? Anything however that, huh?
Because he wasn’t apologizing for the sentiment, not likely — he wasn’t apologizing for saying the world was being oppressed by vaccines and secret cabals of scientists. He wasn’t apologizing for the wild ideas of nanotech monitoring gadgets or 5G magnetizing or no matter else. He was actually solely apologizing for bringing Anne Frank into it.
Here’s the wild factor. This was greater than an idle concept. Kennedy even wrote up a press launch for this faux separation! Thankfully they got here to their senses and didn’t pull this crap. After all, that’s the sort of factor which may make voters assume you’ve a screw free, proper? Now, let’s speak significantly about Bill Gates‘ satellite tv for pc monitoring…
The humorous factor to us is, RFK — who legitimately has confirmed a really likable candidate in some polls, in all probability due in no small half to his familial identify recognition — someway thought it was a good suggestion to inform individuals about it anyway! After they selected to not do it! WHAT IS HE THINKING???
If we needed to guess, we’d say he thinks it’ll make him come throughout as chivalrous or one thing, the very fact he was keen to make this sacrifice to guard his spouse’s on-line advantage. But in our estimation, revealing you’re the kind of man who might give you this harebrained scheme solely exhibits how fully out of your gourd you actually are! We imply, it’s successful to your on-line status! You’d faux a divorce over that?!?
For her half, Cheryl advised the Times she by no means even thought of giving Bobby the inexperienced mild to deceive the general public a few separation. For one factor, the scandal wasn’t as dangerous as all that. He claimed it had value her jobs, she corrected that every one that occurred was “there was a pause for discussion about how his candidacy might affect” a mission “but it has been resolved.” But additionally she didn’t need to as a result of she’s a way more smart particular person, proper? Well, possibly not…
Frankly, from her solutions she doesn’t all that taken with distancing herself from her hubby’s line of considering. She advised the outlet:
“It was also frustrating to hear Bobby say things that could so easily be twisted into snippets that misrepresented his meaning and didn’t represent who he is.”
TWISTED??? What he stated wasn’t twisted, it was simply, effectively… twisted. Everyone acquired precisely what he was saying, and everybody was rightly horrified as a result of it’s a horrifying factor he stated!
As far as Cheryl’s view on vaccines, she
“I see both sides of the vaccine situation. There’s one side that feels scared if they don’t get the vaccine, and there’s the side that feels scared if they do get the vaccine, because they’re not sure if the vaccine is safe. And I understand that. So if Bobby is standing up and saying, ‘Well, are we sure that they’re safe and every vaccine has been tested properly??’ That doesn’t seem too much to ask.”
Wow, that’s disingenuous. That is completely NOT what he’s asking. That’s what the scientists making this stuff are asking. That’s why they do all that testing. They’re those doing their analysis. People are solely scared about vaccines due to fearmongers like RFK Jr who acquired of their heads, with no proof in anyway, that vaccines are dangerous. Remember, he has been on this soapbox for practically 20 years now. This was by no means a few rushed coronavirus vaccine for him, he’s simply in opposition to vaccines usually. Yeesh.
It’s a extremely good factor these two didn’t get faux divorced. Because it’s beginning to sound like they deserve one another.
Oh btw, longtime pal of the couple Larry David gave the Times his personal view the couple’s claims of his assist, texting the outlet:
“Yes love and support, but I’m not ‘supporting’ him.”
Ha! OMG, we will even hear that in his voice…
What do YOU take into consideration all this, Perezcious readers?? Could YOU vote for an anti-vaxxer who says stuff like this? What about somebody who’ll deceive the general public about divorcing his spouse??
