Cheryl Hines, a well-known actress and wife of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., recently appeared on the popular talk show 'The View'. Despite her husband's controversial stance on vaccines and misinformation, Hines defended him and her appearance on the show went 'great'.
Hines, who is no stranger to politics, was asked about her husband's qualifications to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. She pushed back on the suggestion that her husband, with no medical background, is unfit for the role. Hines argued that her husband has spent his career studying toxins and people's health, and that he is qualified to serve in this position.
However, the conversation took a turn when Hines parroted some of her husband's anti-vaxx talking points, claiming that vaccines can cause developmental issues in children. This sparked a debate, with co-host Sunny Hostin pointing out that Kennedy has spread a lot of misinformation and chaos. Hines, however, deflected by accusing former chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci of spreading 'disinformation' about the COVID vaccine.
Despite the controversy, Hines seemed pleased with her appearance on 'The View'. Her representative told Entertainment Weekly that it was a great, balanced conversation, and that Hines wasn't annoyed at all. This is a stark contrast to the criticism her husband has faced for his stance on vaccines and misinformation.
In addition to her appearance on 'The View', Hines is also promoting her new memoir, 'Unscripted', which discusses the highs and lows of fame, family, and an unexpected foray into politics. The book is set to be released next month and promises to offer humor, wisdom, and unflinching honesty.
