Cheryl Hines shuts down ladies of The View as they demand she answer for RFK Jr's policies

The View co-hosts took Cheryl Hines to task over her husband Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s position as Health and Human Services Secretary under the Trump administration. Without having Kennedy there to speak for himself, the hosts interrogated Hines, who had not been a Trump supporter prior to her husband's endorsement of him.

Sunny Hostin claimed that Kennedy "is the least qualified Department of Health and Human Services head that we've had in history." And instead of letting Hines speak, she rolled over her response with the help of a clapping crowd.

When Hines did get to speak, she said, "less qualified than an economist?" The Biden administration's Health and Human Services Secretary had been the attorney general of California and had no experience in healthcare. One of the key points for Biden in appointing Becerra was that he was the first Latino HHS secretary—his identity was his qualification.

Hostin claimed that Kennedy "spread a lot of misinformation, a lot of chaos, a lot of confusion. And I think it's just a very dangerous thing."

"Listen," Hines said, "we all have different views. And when you say 'misinformation,' we could go back to Covid when people, Fauci, were saying, 'when you get the vaccine you cannot transmit Covid, it will stop Covid.' And that was disinformation." 

Hines pointed out that Kennedy had been censored for his position, which turned out to be correct. Kennedy has also been demanding answers as to the increase in autism among American children and despite his efforts to find out what accounts for that increase, he has been attacked and smeared.

Hines defended her husband, knowing his positions and points, and was able to fend off the onslaught from the five women, who appeared intent on discrediting Kennedy, not talking about Hines or her career as an accomplished actress and barely touching on her new book. The five women of The View likely consider themselves to be feminists.

They demanded that she answer for her husband's positions on Tylenol, vaccines, autism, and other issues while barely letting her speak. Sunny Hostin also demanded that Hines answer for Kennedy's endorsement of Trump. That endorsement was a key component of President Donald Trump's ability to win the election after many of Kennedy's supporters moved to the Trump camp.

Hostin said the endorsement "was striking given the Kennedy name and Kennedy legend with the Democratic Party. And you write in your book that friends called voicing concerns saying, 'you can't let Bobby do this. He's going to get Trump elected. You've got to stop him.' Obviously that didn't happen," Hostin went on. 

"How did you feel about his decision to suspend his campaign and support Trump and did you share any concerns that you may have had about that?" Hostin asked Hines.

"Well, I always share all of my concerns with my husband," Hines replied. "I had not been a political person. So with Bobby, that was a very difficult decision to make with President Trump. It was a crazy year and a half with Bobby running, and at the end of the day, President Trump and Bobby sat down and talked and yes, they did have a lot of common goals."

"So it was very important for President Trump and for Bobby to work together and say 'no, Americans are not going to pay more than other countries for our drugs,'" she added.
