Cheryl Hines Wants Secret Service for RFK Jr.’s Campaign, DHS Already Denied Him
BACKGRID
Cheryl Hines fears for her husband Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s security whereas he is on the presidential marketing campaign path — and she or he’s imploring President Biden to make an exception and grant him Secret Service safety straight away.
The actress and comic was at LAX Thursday when she was requested about marketing campaign security as a result of RFK Jr. is a Democratic candidate for president … and, after all, resulting from his household’s tragic historical past.
Cheryl says “nice measures” are being taken to guard Kennedy, however says what they actually wished is the Secret Service — however she factors out RFK Jr.’s request has already been denied … which she finds very odd.
As you understand, Robert was solely 9 years previous when his uncle, former President John F. Kennedy, was assassinated in 1963, and 5 years later, his father, Robert F. Kennedy, was shot and killed in L.A. whereas operating for president.
Cheryl says she is aware of it is uncommon for candidates to be assigned a Secret Service element so early within the marketing campaign, however says if ever there have been a necessity for an exception … RFK Jr. can be it, and she or he’s asking Biden to rethink their request.
BTW, there is a Kennedy precedent right here. When RFK Jr.’s late uncle, Sen. Ted Kennedy, ran for president in 1980 … his competitors, President Jimmy Carter, instantly granted him Secret Service safety.
