Cheryl Hines Says She Feared RFK Jr. Would Be Shot During 2024 Run, Still Fears for His Safety

Her CBS interview focuses on the early security gap that has continued to worry her.

Overview

  • In a CBS Mornings interview, Hines says she was 'very worried' her husband could be shot like his father and uncle and that the concern has not faded.
  • She cites the lack of Secret Service protection when he launched his campaign, noting he later received temporary Secret Service coverage and now has a U.S. Marshals Service detail.
  • Hines says Kennedy does not share every threat he receives, which she believes is meant to spare her worry.
  • Kennedy suspended his 2024 presidential bid in August, endorsed President Trump, and now serves as secretary of health and human services.
  • Hines describes public attacks from several Kennedy relatives as 'disappointing,' with accounts that even his mother, Ethel Kennedy, was surprised by the family split.
