Whatever one thinks of Donald Trump or Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., it’s hard not to be impressed by the dignified way Cheryl Hines has stood by her husband’s decision to back Trump. Hines rose to stardom as an actress playing the part of Larry David’s wife in the smash comedy success Curb Your Enthusiasm.
For the last several days she has been the target of vile and shameful attacks from her colleagues in Hollywood. We can’t repeat them here because we are rated PG. Remember, these are the same beautiful people who endlessly boast about how tolerant they are. (Hines, by the way, isn’t even a conservative. And she’s been critical of Trump.)
Unlike RFK, Jr.’s revolting family members who staged a press conference to call him a “traitor,” Hines has not withered even though she has acknowledged that she may never again land a major role in Hollywood for her apostasy. When asked why she supports his decision, her answer was beautifully put: “Because he is my husband. I would never want to hurt Bobby. I love him.”
We guess standing by your man is a quaint and outdated concept, but we still find it admirable.
Ironically, the Kennedy family presents a Profile in Courage Award each year. Hines should win it.
Fat chance.
