« Curb Your Enthusiasm » actress Cheryl Hines clashed with co-hosts of « The View » and defended her husband, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
On Tuesday, during a discussion of Hines’ upcoming memoir, « Unscripted, » the actress was pressed about her husband’s work in the Trump administration. RFK Jr. had originally run as a Democrat in the 2024 election, but eventually dropped out of the race and endorsed President Trump instead, a move many consider to have been a decisive one in the election overall.
Since then, Kennedy has faced backlash from prominent Democrats and liberal commentators — including the hosts of « The View. »
« Bobby’s background, everything I have seen him do, he has dedicated his career to suing big corporations because of toxins that are — have been affecting people’s healthcare, people’s health, I should say, » Hines said as she defended her husband, citing her husband’s well-known environmental lawsuits.

« But the problem, respectfully, is that your husband is the least qualified Department of Health and Human Services head that we have had in history, » Hostin argued.
Hines objected, questioning the proposition that her husband – who specifically studied toxins — might be deemed less qualified than an economist to perform this role.
« He has also spread a lot of misinformation, a lot of chaos, a lot of confusion, and I think it’s just a very dangerous thing, » Hostin argued. « I say it with the utmost respect. »
« Some of it’s good, and some of it’s not, » co-host Joy Behar replied.
« When you say misinformation, disinformation, we could go back to COVID, » Hines began, recalling all of the controversies about medical information and institutional narratives during the COVID-19 pandemic.
« He has connected circumcision to autism, » Hostin interjected.
« May I finish? » Hines said, recalling when medical professionals and institutions initially claimed that getting the vaccine will stop one from catching or transmitting COVID-19 – guidance later revised by the CDC. « That was ‘disinformation,’ ‘misinformation.’ »

She recalled that her husband was censored at the time for asking for actual medical proof of such claims from officials at the time.
Co-host Sara Haines then offered a point that the panel could all agree on, a prospect that delighted the embattled Hines, replying, « Oh, thank you. What do we all agree on? »
« The MAHA movement, ‘Make America Healthy Again,’ you praise your husband’s campaign to make food and baby formula safer which I think everyone can get on board with, tell us about that, » Haines said.
« I am very proud of Bobby and he has worked really hard to get a lot of petroleum-based food dyes out of our food which also and… Even baby formula, we’re finding out there’s arsenic, there’s lead, » Hines replied. She then turned back to Hostin, turning her previous words about RFK Jr. being unqualified compared to his predecessors and asked, « The question is, who was running HHS when they allowed lead and arsenic in a baby formula? How is that person not dangerous? »

As the interview concluded, co-host Whoopi Goldberg later encouraged Hines to come back on the show sometime in the future.
« Really? » Hines asked with a shocked look.
« Because we don’t often get people on this show who we can ask these questions to, and I appreciate that you came on and so I’m saying, ‘Come back.’ »
« My husband was gonna come on, and I said, ‘Maybe don’t,’ » Hines quipped.
« No, because do you know what? » Goldberg said. « If we can have the discussion back and forth it then becomes people’s — they can decide what they believe, and they’re not just hearing one side. »
