2024 presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apologized just hours after a vintage ad promoting his campaign aired during Sunday’s Super Bowl LVIII, prompting an angry response from at least one other member of the clan.
The Super PAC responsible for the spot—a near-exact copy of the famous ad aired by Kennedy’s uncle, John F. Kennedy, during his own presidential campaign more than six decades ago—was accused of illegally helping to get RFK Jr. on election ballots in several states.
The ad used the classic John F. Kennedy jingle to urge voters to cast their ballots for the independent candidate: “A man who’s old enough to know / and young enough to do / Well, it’s up to you / it’s up to you / It’s strictly up to you!” (Notably, while his uncle was one of the youngest presidents ever elected at 43, Robert turned 70 earlier this year.)
