RFK Jr. Reveals Why Wife Cheryl Hines Showed ‘Discomfort’ Over His Support for Donald Trump

WASHINGTON, DC: Former independent presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr has claimed his wife’s response to his recent support for former President Donald Trump in the White House race was “the opposite of encouragement”.

Kennedy said Tuesday, August 27, during his interview on TMZ Live that his wife, actress Cheryl Hines, is not a fan of Donald Trump and that she feels “unease” about his support for the former president.

“She’s a lifelong Democrat and the idea of ​​me supporting Donald Trump was, as I said, something she never imagined, something she never wanted in her life,” Robert F Kennedy Jr. said Tuesday, according to The Hill.

“I think it causes her a lot of discomfort and I’m very grateful to her for supporting me, but she wasn’t someone who was calling for this change. I would say quite the opposite,” he added.

The environmental lawyer, who dropped out of the presidential race last week, claimed Trump contacted him shortly after the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.

Hines urged Kennedy to speak with the Republican candidate. Kennedy said the actress, best known for her role in “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” attended the meeting to ensure no rash decisions were made.

Robert F Kennedy Jr said he had to “suppress some strong feelings” in response to Bradley Whitford’s article when asked about it on Tuesday. However, he questioned why the actor chose to “harass women” rather than “challenge” him directly on the issue.

“This is a textbook example of harassment,” Kennedy said. “Here you have a man who, instead of challenging me, is going after my wife,” he said. “Who would do that? What kind of person, what kind of man would do that?”

“If she was uncomfortable she could have used her voice,” one noted, while another wrote: “SHE was the one who convinced him to listen to what Trump had to say. She is clearly the stupid one in this relationship.”
