Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Offered to Publicly Announce Separation to Shield Cheryl Hines

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. offered to announce his separation from his wife, Cheryl Hines, to protect her from scrutiny of his political statements. Hines supports her husband's political aspirations but disagrees with his controversial statements, including his anti-vaccine views. Kennedy's recent comments include comparing the Holocaust to CDC leader Anthony Fauci's efforts to vaccinate Americans against COVID-19 and suggesting that drugs are responsible for America's ongoing gun violence and school shootings. Kennedy founded the World Mercury Project, a nonprofit that advocates against vaccines for children.
