In a surprising turn of events, renowned actor Bradley Whitford took a swipe at actress Cheryl Hines after she expressed support for her husband, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s endorsement of Republican nominee Donald Trump. The feud unfolded on social media when Whitford, famous for his role as White House Deputy Chief of Staff Josh Lyman on The West Wing, unleashed a scathing tweet targeting Hines for standing by her husband's controversial choice.
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." Alongside the tweet, he included a video of Trump boasting about how his Supreme Court appointees contributed to the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Cheryl Hines, renowned for her role in Curb Your Enthusiasm, remained silent on her husband's endorsement and did not publicly align herself with any political party. Instead, she emphasized unity and the positive experiences she had encountered while meeting individuals from different political affiliations. Hines tweeted, "Over the last year and a half, I have met some extraordinary people from all parties - Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. It's been my experience that the vast majority of all parties are truly good people who want the best for our country and for each other."
However, Kennedy's endorsement of Trump was met with sharp criticism from his own siblings, who labeled it a "betrayal" of their late father's values. In a joint statement, they expressed their disappointment and emphasized their belief in Democratic candidates Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. The statement read, "We want an America filled with hope and bound together by a shared vision of a brighter future, a future defined by individual freedom, economic promise and national pride. Our brother Bobby's decision to endorse Trump today is a betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear. It is a sad ending to a sad story."
The rift between Whitford and Hines underscores the divisions within the Kennedy family regarding political ideologies. While Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s endorsement of Trump may have surprised some, it is undeniable that his decision has caused a stir among those close to him. As the political landscape continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how this endorsement will impact Kennedy's reputation and the dynamics within his family.
With the presidential race heating up, tensions and disagreements among friends and family members over differing political stances may become more common. The episode between Whitford and Hines serves as a reminder of the passion and controversies that surround political endorsements, ultimately highlighting the challenges faced by individuals who find themselves at odds with loved ones over such matters.
