Cheryl Hines Pushed RFK Jr. Into Trump’s Arms

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s wife Cheryl Hines has taken quite a bit of heat since last week, when her husband withdrew from the presidential race and threw his support behind Donald Trump, as social media users and industry peers chastised her for her “silence.” But it turns out Hines may have had more to do with the pair reconciling their differences than people assumed.

During a sit down on The Tucker Carlson Show, Kennedy revealed how he came to have a face-to-face meeting with Trump prior to ending his own campaign. “I had these meetings with President Trump,” he began, describing the first phone call he received from the campaign “three hours after Trump was shot.”

“He told me that night I’d also been advising President Trump, which delighted me because I thought ‘Oh my gosh, there’s another candidate besides me that’s listening to the truth,’” he continued. “He said that there was interest in the Trump campaign [and] by the president, of including me and then he talked about vice president, which I wasn’t interested in. But he said, ‘Would you be interested in talking with President Trump?’ And I said ‘I don’t think so.’”
