RFK Jr. Does Damage Control on Cheryl Hines: She’s Not MAGA!
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. seems desperate to make sure no one thinks his wife, Curb Your Enthusiasm star Cheryl Hines, is on board with the MAGA movement. In fact, he insists now, Hines only pushed him to meet with Donald Trump “out of compassion.”
“Cheryl’s reaction was the opposite of encouraging,” RFK told TMZ Live on Tuesday, referring to the meeting he took with Trump that would ultimately lead to his endorsement of the former president’s campaign. “She attended the meeting just to make sure there were no hasty decisions made” about his joining the Republican ticket, he added.
Kennedy said on The Tucker Carlson Show this week that it wasn’t until Hines urged him to “hear [Trump] out” that he agreed to meet with the Republican presidential candidate. Before that, he had assumed it would be a “non-starter” for Hines, who’d previously agreed with him that their marriage would not “survive” if he became Trump’s VP.
