In a surprising turn of events, actor Bradley Whitford, known for his role in "West Wing," has recently called out fellow actor Cheryl Hines for remaining silent after her husband, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., suspended his campaign for president and publicly endorsed Republican Donald Trump.
Taking to Twitter on Saturday, Whitford sarcastically criticized Hines for her lack of response to Kennedy's endorsement. He accused her husband of supporting an "adjudicated rapist" who openly brags about stripping women of their fundamental rights, referencing a video in which Trump thanks U.S. Supreme Court judges for overturning Roe v. Wade, a landmark abortion case.
Whitford's tweet read, "Hey @CherylHines, way to stay silent while your lunatic husband throws his support behind the adjudicated rapist who brags about stripping women of their fundamental rights. Gutsy. Great example for the kids. Profile in courage."
Hines, who is best known for her role in the hit show "Curb Your Enthusiasm," had previously praised her husband's decision to suspend his campaign and endorse Trump. In a message thanking campaign workers on Friday, she stated that Kennedy's decision was based on the principle of unity.
This public clash between Whitford and Hines comes after an earlier remark made by Hines in a January interview with Variety. When asked if Kennedy would consider being Trump's running mate, he humorously responded that he didn't believe their marriage would survive such a political arrangement. Hines agreed, further suggesting that it could strain their relationship.
Whitford's criticism of Hines has sparked a debate among fans and followers of both actors. While some applaud his courage and candor, others argue that Hines has the right to remain silent on her husband's political decisions.
It remains to be seen how Hines will respond to Whitford's tweet and whether this public feud will have any lasting impact on their working relationship or the perception of their respective careers.
