Despite apologizing for the ad, it remains pinned to the top of Kennedy’s X/Twitter account.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Sunday apologized for a campaign ad run by a political action committee supporting him during Sunday’s Super Bowl that pulled from the 1960 campaign for his uncle, former president John F. Kennedy.
Kennedy, who is an independent, issued the apology following condemnation of the ad — which was disseminated by American Values 2024 — from his cousins Mark and Bobby Shriver, sons of Eunice Kennedy Shriver.
« I’m so sorry if the Super Bowl advertisement caused anyone in my family pain, » Kennedy wrote on X/Twitter on Sunday night. « The ad was created and aired by the American Values Super PAC without any involvement or approval from my campaign. FEC rules prohibit Super PACs from consulting with me or my staff. I love you all. God bless you. »
Despite Kennedy’s apology, however, the ad is still pinned to his account as of Monday afternoon.
