A surprise campaign ad from Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s super PAC, American Values 2024, aired during the Super Bowl. It was a 30-second ad that cost $7M. It was money well spent.
The ad set the Democrats on fire, and not in a good way. It used a vintage look and campaign slogans, along with video clips and a jingle. The incorporation of his uncle John F. Kennedy’s legacy was brilliant. It’s very 1960s.
Our momentum is growing. It’s time for an Independent President to heal the divide in our country. ????????#Kennedy24 pic.twitter.com/6rwXW3AwAp— Robert F. Kennedy Jr (@RobertKennedyJr) February 12, 2024
After I noted that the ad was a cool one, I began to notice the outrage building from the left.
Delicious. That is how I described the meltdown that Democrats had over Kennedy’s campaign ad.
The Biden Democrats’ outrage over RFK, Jr.’s Super Bowl ad is just delicious. Pass the popcorn.— Karen Townsend (@penguinponders) February 12, 2024
The ad is pinned to the top of Kennedy’s X account. He apologized to his outraged family members, though, which I was disappointed to see. But, it’s his family.
I’m so sorry if the Super Bowl advertisement caused anyone in my family pain. 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…— Robert F. Kennedy Jr (@RobertKennedyJr) February 12, 2024
Some of his siblings and other family members have treated him very badly simply because they disagree with some of his political stances, especially his opinion on the COVID-19 vaccine. They are Biden supporters and that’s their right. However, airing their hard feelings against their brother is unseemly.
But some members of Kennedy’s family complained about his use of family images. Kennedy’s cousin, Bobby Shriver, the son of Kennedy’s aunt Eunice Kennedy Shriver, wrote on X, « My cousin’s Super Bowl ad used our uncle’s faces- and my Mother’s. She would be appalled by his deadly health care views.
