The Daily Mail reported in late December that The West Wing actor Martin Sheen and singing icon Dionne Warwick would attend a “multi-million dollar fundraiser” for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. this month. Both celebrities have since denied that claim.
“There’s a story going around saying that Martin Sheen is supporting @RobertKennedyJr for president. The story is incorrect,” Sheen’s West Wing co-star Bradley Whitford posted on X on Thursday. He included a statement from Sheen that read, “I wholeheartedly support President Joe Biden and the democratic ticket in 2024.”
Another former cast member, Joshua Malina, posted the same statement after expressing concern that Sheen was indeed a Kennedy fan. He welcomed Sheen’s repudiation, writing, “Huzzah!”
