West Wing star Bradley Whitford laid into actress Cheryl Hines for staying “silent” about her “lunatic husband” Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s endorsement of former President Donald Trump on Friday.
After Kennedy announced he would be suspending his independent presidential campaign and endorsing Trump, despite his wife’s vocal opposition to the 45th president, Whitford tore into Hines in a social media post.
“Hey @CherylHines, way to stay silent while your lunatic husband throws his support behind the adjudicated rapist who brags about stripping women of their fundamental rights,” he wrote. “Gutsy. Great example for the kids. Profile in courage.”

Following Kennedy’s announcement that he would be dropping out of the race and endorsing Trump, Hines wrote in a statement:
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.
On Monday, Kennedy told Tucker Carlson he had been asked by Trump “to help pick the people who will be running the government” in a potential second Trump administration.
