Bill Maher Defends Cheryl Hines From Critics After RFK Jr. Backs Trump

Bill Maher is coming to Cheryl Hines‘ defense as she continues to face criticism over her husband Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s decision to endorse Donald Trump for president.

While the comedian made it clear on the latest episode of HBO’s Real Time that he “couldn’t support” RFK Jr.’s campaign for the White House, he slammed those who have chastised Hines on social media for standing by her husband.

“His wife is Cheryl Hines, who Larry David was quoted describing as ‘the best person I’ve ever met, the one person in Hollywood who doesn’t have a single enemy,’” Maher said. “Well, now she does… because she didn’t throw her husband under the bus when her husband made a decision about something, which she’s made plain she disagrees with.”

Hines has noted that she’s no supporter of Trump and his third presidential bid, with RFK Jr. telling TMZ last month that his wife is “a lifelong Democrat.”

Maher proceeded to call out “the obnoxious posers on the aforementioned far left,” for recent hateful tweets directed at the Curb Your Enthusiasm actress. This included actor Bradley Whitford’s comment on X (formerly Twitter), where he berated Hines for standing in silence while everything unfolded. “Way to stay silent while your lunatic husband throws his support behind the adjudicated rapist who brags about stripping women of their fundamental rights,” Whitford wrote in his post.

“Well, you know what I think is not gutsy? Mansplaining to a woman — but of course not to her face — how she should sacrifice her marriage, all so you could read something on Twitter that met with your approval,” Maher said in response. “You wanna know why I have a bug up my ass about the Left more than I used to? It’s shit like this. There’s an ugliness they never used to have. The liberals I grew up respecting, none of them were like this. Going after the wife, even the mafia doesn’t do that.”

The host added, “In theory, liberals are compassionate. In practice, this guy can’t even understand one of the most basic dilemmas common to all humans — that when you’re married, sometimes you have to swallow some shit.”

In August, RFK Jr. suspended his presidential campaign and endorsed the GOP candidate, Trump, and his running mate J.D. Vance.
