Bradley Whitford, known for his role in The West Wing, recently made some harsh comments about Cheryl Hines, his fellow actor in Curb Your Enthusiasm. Whitford expressed his disapproval of Hines' husband, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who recently announced his support for Donald Trump in the presidential race. Kennedy Jr. had previously been running as an independent candidate, but decided to switch his support to the Republican nominee.
Whitford, 64, did not hold back in his criticism of Hines and Kennedy Jr., taking to social media to call out their actions. He specifically called out Hines for remaining silent while her husband publicly endorsed a candidate who has a history of disrespecting women's rights. Whitford's tweet read, "Hey @CherylHines, way to stay silent while your lunatic husband throws his support behind [Trump] who brags about stripping women of their fundamental rights. Gutsy. Great example for the kids. Profile in courage."
Whitford has been vocal about his disapproval of Trump in the past, and this recent incident only solidified his stance. He shared a video of Trump thanking the US Supreme Court for overturning Roe v Wade, a decision that limits access to abortion rights. This, along with Trump's history of sexual assault allegations, only added to Whitford's criticism.
In a separate tweet, Whitford referenced a previous case where Trump was found liable of sexually abusing E Jean Carroll, a former magazine columnist. Carroll had accused Trump of raping her in the mid-1990s, but Trump denied the allegations and called them a "hoax" and a "con job." The jury did not find Trump guilty of rape, but the judge clarified that this was due to a legal technicality and not because the allegations were false. Whitford pointed out this distinction in his tweet, saying that the evidence presented in court showed that Trump did, in fact, sexually abuse Carroll.
Hines, who is best known for her role as Larry David's wife in Curb Your Enthusiasm, has been married to Kennedy Jr. since 2014. It was actually David who introduced the two, according to reports. Earlier this year, Hines hinted that she may not support Trump, when her husband was asked if he would consider being Trump's running mate. Kennedy Jr. responded, "I don't think my marriage would survive it," to which Hines jokingly added, "I think he's right!"
After Kennedy Jr's announcement of his support for Trump, Hines released a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, saying, "I deeply respect the decision Bobby made to run on the principle of unity. 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. It has been an eye-opening, transformative and endearing journey."
Despite their differing views, it seems that Whitford and Hines have a good working relationship, as they have both appeared in the same TV show, The West Wing. It remains to be seen how Kennedy Jr's support for Trump will affect their marriage, but for now, Hines is standing by her husband's decision.
