Many questions encompass Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s determination to run for president in 2024 on the Democratic ticket. Questions like, does he have any coverage positions moreover vaccines being dangerous? And can his remarks about Anne Frank come up on the marketing campaign path? However largely, what does Larry David, the person who unintentionally set RFK Jr. up together with his spouse, Cheryl Hines, and is Hines’s boss on Curb Your Enthusiasm, consider all this? And horror of horrors, is he truly supporting Kennedy’s bid for workplace?
Fortunately, the reply is a convincing no, regardless of what the nation’s main anti-vaxxer may need individuals to suppose. Talking to The New York Instances for a profile of Hines, the son of Robert Kennedy and nephew of John F. Kennedy stated of his marketing campaign for the White Home, “I really feel quite a lot of assist and love from most of her buddies, together with Larry.” That may lead one to imagine David was backing Kennedy’s candidacy, however the Curb creator wish to disabuse individuals of that notion. In a textual content to the Instances, he wrote, “Sure love and assist, however I’m not ‘supporting’ him.”
That most likely has one thing to do with, amongst different issues, the truth that Trump ally Steve Bannon has reportedly been “supportive of Mr. Kennedy’s marketing campaign” and “float[ed] the concept of a Trump-Kennedy ticket,” whereas rabid conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has “additionally expressed enthusiasm.” (Kennedy insisted to the Instances that he has “by no means spoken to Mr. Bannon or Mr. Jones about my presidential marketing campaign.”) There’s additionally the gross incontrovertible fact that when requested twice by the paper of file if he would “reject an endorsement from Mr. Jones, who misplaced a $1 billion lawsuit for repeatedly saying the 2012 Sandy Hook taking pictures that killed 20 first graders and 6 educators in Newtown, Conn., was a authorities hoax,” Kennedy selected to not reply.
Final yr, Trump legal professional Alan Dershowitz complained to The New Yorker that David snubbed him in a Martha’s Winery grocery retailer over Dershowitz’s affiliation with the Trump administration, and when pressed, advised the lawyer, “You’re disgusting.” So given the individuals apparently backing Kennedy’s bid for workplace, it’s not that shocking David wouldn’t be in favor of it. Nevertheless it’s good to know Curb viewers can now watch season 12 with out cringing.
