Perhaps the greatest fictional TV POTUS of all time supports Robert Kennedy Jr. ‘s bid. not in the White House, and Martin Sheen certainly won’t be showing up as a hot prop at an RFK Jr. fundraiser anytime soon.
About a week ago, invitations were sent out for a self-proclaimed “gala” on January 22 to celebrate the independent candidate’s 70th birthday.e Birthday. Sheen, Mike Tyson and Dionne Warwick were scheduled to attend the event as “well-wishers”. Thursday there are some oldies from Jed Bartlet west wing The workforce has publicly stated that their old boss has no plans to attend.
By Bradley Whitford and Mary McCormack, Sheen even says he remains a strong supporter of incumbent Joe Biden, not RFK Jr.
“The Indian Wells fundraiser is a PAC event,” RFK Jr’s campaign told Deadline today. “The campaign has nothing to do with the organization of this event. The Campaign does not know who is present and cannot confirm or deny anyone’s attendance, whether for entertainment or as a guest.”
Deadline contacted the event’s organizers, Silent Majority 4 RFK Jr., about the alleged participation of Sheen and others. We’ll update this post if they respond.
Now 83 years old Grace and Frankie Alum Sheen and the equally iconic 83-year-old Warwick, who also mocked the gala and said she wasn’t involved, both clearly won’t be attending the Palm Desert event, that’s pretty much a certainty.
The son of Senator Robert Kennedy and nephew of President John F. Kennedy, former environmental attorney RFK Jr. ran for the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination last spring. He was certain that he would be up against Biden and the Democratic Party Kennedy in this effort. was accused of “rigging” the primary process and switched to an independent campaign in October 2023. His inoculations and appearances with, among others, the much-accused conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and right-wing extremist organizations did not gain him much traction among his fellow Democrats.
Even members of Kennedy’s own family spoke out against him.
“Our brother Bobby’s decision to run as a third-party candidate against Joe Biden is dangerous for our country,” said a social media post signed by four of his siblings last fall. “Bobby may have the same name as our father, but he does not share the same values, vision or judgments,” added Rory Kennedy, Kerry Kennedy, Joseph P. Kennedy II and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend. “Today’s announcement is very sad for us. We condemn his candidacy and believe it is dangerous for our country.”
RFK Jr. was born shortly after JFK’s assassination in November 1963 and is the third of RFK and Ethel Kennedy’s eleven children.
Played by Sheen in seven award-winning seasons of the series created by Aaron Sorkin The west wingPresident Bartlet was always a fan of the Kennedys. Just like the real 35e POTUS and his family, Bartlet is a Democrat and a Catholic (just like Joe Biden). Sheen also played JFK in the 1963 miniseries kennedy and RFK in 1974 The rockets in October.
Although Sheen and Warwick will not appear at the January 22 event, at least one Hollywood star will be in attendance: RFK Jr. ‘s wife. Control your enthusiasm Star Cheryl Hines is a strong supporter of her husband and his campaign and has been a regular part of the route.
