Robert F Kennedy Jr apologizes for Super Bowl ad that referenced JFK

[BidenPresident]

Kennedy released a statement late Sunday night on social media, apologizing for any pain the ad may have caused his family members and noting that the commercial was funded by a pro-Kennedy super-PAC, which he said his campaign did not get to approve before it aired. Nevertheless, the ad was also pinned to the top of Kennedy’s X account.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent campaign for the presidency has long traded in on his father’s and uncle’s famous legacies, but never before as blatantly as in this Super Bowl ad. It’s basically a remake of President John F. Kennedy’s 1960 campaign — and it’s probably not going to go over well among his family, which has accused him of tarnishing the Kennedy name because of his controversial views on vaccines and foreign policy. The catchy song — which is basically unchanged from the original — takes a swipe at his competitors, President Biden and Donald Trump, with the lyrics, “A man who’s old enough to know, and young enough to do.”
