President Joe Biden welcomed over 30 members of the Kennedy family to the White House for a St. Patrick’s Day celebration on Sunday. Notably, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has embarked on a third-party bid for the presidency, was absent from the event.
Kerry Kennedy, the sister of Rfk Jr., took to X to share a photograph of the Kennedy family gathered alongside Biden, with the picturesque Rose Garden as the backdrop.
Biden expressed what a joy the Kennedy family was to host at the White House. In a message posted on X, he conveyed heartfelt regards, “From one proud Irish family to another — it was good to have you all back at the White House.”
Joe Kennedy III, Biden’s envoy to Northern Ireland, also took to X to share his enthusiasm for the gathering. With a touch of familial camaraderie, he remarked, “Small family gathering this afternoon!”

Curb Your Enthusiasm star Cheryl Hines has been married to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. since 2014. She’s on her second marriage, while Kennedy is already on his third.
Recently, the couple did a photo shoot for The Hollywood Reporter alongside Conor Kennedy and Kyra Kennedy, who are Kennedy’s children from his second marriage to Mary Richardson Kennedy. They had two other sons, Finn Kennedy and Aiden Kennedy, who died by suicide in 2012.
The blended family also included Hines’ daughter, Catherine Young.
Hines and Kennedy first met in 2004 at a celebrity ski fundraiser for Waterkeeper Alliance, which Kennedy funded. Before their divorces, the two families traveled and skied together.
In one instance, Hines and her ex, Curb star and creator Larry David, attended an event with no intention of skiing, but Kennedy urged them to join.

Last October, White House hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced a decision to switch parties in his presidential bid by exiting the Democratic party and running as a third-party Independent. The move was quickly denounced by members of his own family, including Oscar-nominated documentarian Rory Kennedy, who joined her siblings in posting a family statement.
“The decision of our brother Bobby to run as a third party candidate against Joe Biden is dangerous to our country. Bobby might share the same name as our father, but he does not share the same values, vision or judgment. Today’s announcement is deeply saddening for us. We denounce his candidacy and believe it to be perilous for our country,” read the Instagram post signed by Rory Kennedy, Kerry Kennedy, Joseph P. Kennedy II and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, a group that totals four of the 11 children shared by Ethel and Robert Kennedy.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. did not attend his 70th birthday party fundraiser gala after celebrity guests who were billed as attendees stated that they never agreed to go.
Martin Sheen, Dionne Warwick, Mike Tyson and Andrea Bocelli were listed as attendees but later said they never agreed to attend the fundraiser.
The fundraiser supporting Kennedy’s presidential campaign was hosted by the super Pac American Values 2024 and took place in Indian Wells, California, on January 4.
On December 28, 2023, the Pac announced on X:
“Superstar tenor @AndreaBocelli will perform at fundraiser for US presidential hopeful @RobertKennedyJr with ‘well wisher’ guests including Martin Sheen, @MikeTyson and @dionnewarwick,” they wrote.
American Values Pac’s major donor is right-wing billionaire Timothy Mellon, who gave $15 million, leading experts to conclude that it is a Trojan Horse for Republican interests.

Uipdated with statement from Rfk Jr gala organizers: The arguably greatest fictional TV Potus ever is not endorsing the White House bid of Robert Kennedy Jr., and Martin Sheen sure as hell isn’t showing up as a warm prop at any Rfk Jr fundraiser anytime soon.
About a week ago, invites went out for a self-described “gala” on January 22 to celebrate the independent candidate’s 70th birthday. Sheen, Mike Tyson and Dionne Warwick were reported to be attending the event as “well-wishers.” On Thursday, some of President Jed Bartlet’s old West Wing staff have gone public to declare their old boss has no intention of attending.
In fact, via Bradley Whitford and Mary McCormack, Sheen says he remains an avowed supporter of incumbent Joe Biden, not Rfk Jr.

Bill Maher had Robert F. Kennedy Jr. his on Club Random podcast to discuss the White House hopeful’s controversial stance on vaccines. The often-unfiltered host of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher then post a clip on Twitter with the headline, “Is @RobertFKennedyJr’s position on vaccines that unreasonable?”
Have a look and listen below, and judge for yourself.
In the clip, Democrat Kennedy cites a book he wrote that summarizes “over 450 studies.” Maher then asked about “the question for your campaign” before Kennedy interrupted as said, “I’m not talking about this stuff for my campaign, I’m just talking between you and me.” The host shot back: “That’s a ridiculous assumption. Of course you’re going to have to talk about it. Rfk Jr. interrupted again, saying, “Well, if somebody asks me, I’m going to.”

Washington — Groups of young activists involved in gun control, immigration, the environment, and race relations were honored at the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Awards in a ceremony that took place on the 50th anniversary of Kennedy’s final campaign victory and tragic death.
Those recognized included students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School for demanding action on gun violence and for their work in organizing March for Our Lives.
Cameron Kasky, an organizer of the march, told the crowd that his generation was “often shrugged off as selfish, image-obsessed, and ignorant people.” He said, “our generation has inspired each other by standing up, to keep moving forward, to keep bolstering the voices of others our age, and to work with people from other generations.”
“Bobby was tough. He was relentless. He looked at the world and saw something that could be so much better,” Kasky said, surrounded by other...

On Wednesday, the Arizona Republic newspaper endorsed Hillary Clinton for president. And while their readership may be a fraction of the New York Times's, their endorsement of Clinton is far more significant: Since the paper was first published more than 120 years ago, back in 1890, its editorial board has never thrown its weight behind a Democratic candidate. That's right: not Roosevelt, not Kennedy, not Carter, not the first Clinton - not even President Obama. Its history, the paper said, "reflects a deep philosophical appreciation for conservative ideals and Republican principles." But "this year is different," the paper's editorial board wrote. "The...

Kathleen Kennedy Townsend stood for no phonusbolonus during a Summer TV Press Tour 2013 discussion about her uncle, President John F Kennedy. Earlier in the day, PBS announced details of a series of primetime programs airing November 11-13, commemorating the 50th anniversary of JFK’s assassination. Among them, American Experience franchise is airing a four-hour, two-part JFK biography, which takes a new look at the enigmatic president. During that program’s Q&A, historian Tim Natfali said JFK “was a very smart man who was not an ideologist. He was a problem solver” and that “given that our world today is so ideological, it’s refreshing to meet a self assured leader who didn’t have to pretend to be an ideologue.” Townsend, appearing via Skype, objected in a pretty big way, saying Natfali’s description makes her uncle sound as though he didn’t have a view of the world...
