ICYMI: RFK Jr, Wife Considered Staging Marital Separation to Protect Her from Deranged Leftists

How bad are things on the left when it comes to dissenters within the tribe, particularly in Hollywood?

It’s so bad that the spouse of one prominent heterodox Democrat who came out against former President Joe Biden — and who is now in President Donald Trump’s cabinet — was offered a fake separation from her husband to spare her career.

In case you missed it, actress Cheryl Hines — best known for her role on HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” alongside Larry David — told CBS News her husband Robert F. Kennedy Jr. actually offered her a mock separation, to spare her the career damage that comes from showing disloyalty to the Democrats.

RFK Jr.’s offer came as he was preparing to run against then-President Joe Biden in 2023, amid his criticism of the COVID-19 vaccine mandates. But it came up yet again in Hines’ memoir “Unscripted,” now that her husband of 11 years is leading the Department of Health and Human Services.

As CBS’ Natalie Morales noted in the interview published this week, Kennedy “suggested the couple fake a separation to save her scrutiny.”

“Was that even a consideration at the time?” Morales asked.

“No,” Hines replied. “I didn’t understand how that was going to help. I didn’t. But I understood what he was talking about. I appreciated it.”

She added that she could “never get used to being a political spouse” and said many in Hollywood found it difficult to be friends with her, after RFK Jr. left the liberal fold.

As for her on-screen partner David, a very avid Democrat, Hines said, “That’ll be a question for Larry, but let’s be honest — he can’t love it.”

This isn’t a new revelation, mind you. It goes back to a 2023 profile in The New York Times during RFK Jr.’s presidential bid, titled, “Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Wants to Be President. Cheryl Hines Is Along for the Ride.”

From the piece:

Mr. Kennedy said it was a difficult time for them. “I saw how it was affecting her life and I said to her, ‘We should just announce that we are separated,’ so that you can have some distance from me,” he said. “We wouldn’t really be doing anything, we would just — I felt so desperate about protecting her at a time where my statements and my decisions were impacting her.”

He said he even wrote up a news release, though it never went out. Ms. Hines said that was never an option, although she was upset with Mr. Kennedy for his choice of words. “It was also frustrating to hear Bobby say things that could so easily be twisted into snippets that misrepresented his meaning and didn’t represent who he is,” she said.

Several months later, Mr. Kennedy approached her to say he was considering running for office. “It was definitely a discussion,” Ms. Hines said, “because he said, ‘If you don’t want me to do it, I won’t.’” She ultimately agreed.

Because RFK Jr. had strong opinions about vaccines and Biden that were viewed as dangerous, these personal elements had to be considered.

The Democrats subsequently rigged things for Biden until this happened:

At that point, RFK Jr. had already gone the independent route but would ultimately endorse then-candidate Trump two months later, during those “107 Days” that Kamala Harris is busy complaining about right now, arguing she simply didn’t have enough time to make her case since Biden hadn’t stepped aside early enough.

Now that Trump is president, RFJ Jr.’s ideas about American health and how to improve it have caught the ears of those in the White House.

He may not be sitting in the Oval Office, but his position with liberals is arguably worse now. Just running against Biden and against the COVID vaccine mandates was enough to trigger Tinseltown’s elite.

If this isn’t proof of Trump Derangement Syndrome being a psychiatric disorder that’s particularly prevalent in the Golden State — so much so that RFK Jr. and his wife were discussing faking a separation — I don’t know what is.

President Trump doubled expectations adding 130,000 jobs when only 55,000 was expected.

The unemployment rate also decreased from 4.4% to 4.3% according to CNBC

President Trump: Just in: GREAT JOBS NUMBERS, FAR GREATER THAN EXPECTED! The United States of America should be paying MUCH LESS on its Borrowings (BONDS!). We are again the strongest Country in the World, and should therefore be paying the LOWEST INTEREST RATE, by far. This would be an INTEREST COST SAVINGS OF AT LEAST ONE TRILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR – BALANCED BUDGET, PLUS. WOW! The Golden Age of America is upon us!!! President DJT

From the president’s Truth Social account:
Tweet by Donald Trump discussing US job numbers, borrowing costs, interest rates, and a balanced budget, emphasizing America's strength and economic potential.

At what point can the American people sue the Federal Reserve Chief for his dereliction of duty? Jerome Powell is now costing every American untold amounts of money by refusing to do his job!

CNBC host Rick Santelli reacted positively:

Even CNN was forced to share the good economic news.

A diverse group of lawmakers engaged in a congressional hearing, with individuals focused on their devices and discussions in a formal setting.

Democrat Rep. Jerrold Nadler (NY) had to be woken up by a staffer on Wednesday morning during a congressional hearing.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi testified at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the Epstein files, fatal shootings of two anti-ICE agitators and more.

Nadler fell asleep just minutes into Wednesday’s hearing.

A staffer walked over to Nadler and woke him up.

WATCH:

Later on during the hearing, Nadler and Bondi got into a shouting match over Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirators.

“How many [co-conspirators] have you indicted?” Nadler asked Bondi.

“Excuse me! I’m going to answer!” Bondi said.

“Answer my question!” Nadler demanded.

“I’m gonna answer the question the way I want to answer the question. Your theatrics are ridiculous,” Bondi said.

“Chairman Jordan, I’m not gonna get into the gutter with these people,” Bondi said.

Bondi and Nadler continued to talk over each other until Chairman Jim Jordan intervened.

According to the Tumbler Ridge Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), a mass shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia left nine dead and at least 25 more injured.

According to police, the sole suspect, described as a “gunperson’ wearing a dress, was found dead inside the school from “a self-inflicted injury.”

Per CNN:

Police found six people dead and dozens injured when they arrived at the high school in Tumbler Ridge, a town of just 2,400 people in northeast British Columbia, early on Tuesday afternoon. Another person died en route to hospital, police said.

The alleged shooter, who was found dead at the school with a self-inflicted injury, is believed to have killed two more people, whose bodies were discovered at a home in the township

Two victims were airlifted from the school to hospital with serious or life-threatening injuries. And about 25 other people were also being treated at a local medical center, police said.

Fox News reported that Superintendent Ken Floyd, North District Commander, said in a statement,  “This was a rapidly evolving and dynamic situation, and the swift cooperation from the school, first responders, and the community played a critical role in our response.”

“Our thoughts are with the families, loved ones, and all those impacted by this tragic incident. This has been an incredibly difficult and emotional day for our community, and we are grateful for the cooperation shown as officers continue their work to advance the investigation.”

Juno News, an independent outlet in Canada, claims to have spoken with someone connected to the suspected shooter’s family who says the suspect was trans and used “she/her” pronouns, but authorities have not confirmed the claim.

The Guardian reported that the police have identified the shooter, but didn’t publicly release their identity due to the integrity of the investigation.

The shooter’s identity, any potential connections to groups, and motivations remain under investigation.
