Cheryl Hines, wife of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has increasingly aligned herself with the MAGA movement, attending Donald Trump's inauguration and sitting behind her husband during his contentious confirmation hearings for the Department of Health and Human Services. Hines' embrace of this world comes as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faces criticism over his anti-vaccine views and his role in a measles outbreak in Samoa.
Cheryl Hines looks on as US Secretary of Health and Human Services nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. testifies during a Senate Finance Committee hearing on his nomination to be Health and Human Services Secretary, on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, January 29, 2025. For years, Cheryl Hines worked to publicly distance herself from the more extreme anti-vaccine campaigning of her husband, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
But Hines’ willingness to support her husband’s controversial positions this week shouldn’t be that surprising, especially to anyone who has carefully followed Kennedy’s leadership of the anti-vaccine nonprofit Children’s Health Defense.
NBC reported that Kennedy and Hines visited Samoa nearly a year after the country’s ministry of health temporarily suspended its vaccine program after two babies died after receiving the measles vaccine. It was subsequently discovered that two nurses had mistakenly mixed the vaccine with a muscle relaxant.
“You are a very influential man,” Warren told Kennedy, with Hines and conservative pundit Megyn Kelly prominently seated behind him. “In fact, you are called the leader of the disinformation dozen,” she said, referring to Kennedy being named one of the top spreaders of misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines.
As NBC News acknowledged, Kennedy’s role in the measles outbreak is complex. During Thursday’s hearing before the Senate health committee, Kennedy again rejected accusations that he is “anti-vaccine” but was evasive when pressed about whether he believed some widely used vaccines were safe and effective.
