‘BEEN A JOURNEY’

RFK Jr. Thanks Wife Cheryl Hines for Sticking With Him on Election Day

The remarks follow a tumultuous period for the couple that saw revelations about Kennedy’s apparent relationship with a campaign reporter.

Speaking to Trump campaign supporters in West Palm Beach, Florida on Election Day, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. publicly thanked his wife, actress Cheryl Hines, for staying with him through both his failed independent presidential campaign and the revelations about his alleged “digital affair” with reporter Olivia Nuzzi. With Hines by his side, Kennedy expressed his gratitude for “the most supportive person in this room who has sustained me throughout this campaign, my wife, Cheryl Hines.” Hines responded by echoing his message of thanks and adding, “Ooh, it has been a journey!” In addition to the scandal surrounding Nuzzi, Hines was aggressively trolled on social media after her husband decided to end his own campaign and endorse Donald Trump. Now, Kennedy is poised to become a major player in a potential Trump second term with the former president saying he is open to implementing his extreme ideas like banning vaccines and removing fluoride from the water supply.
