Robert F. Kennedy Jr. publicly apologized to his family on Sunday evening following criticism to an ad that was aired during the Super Bowl by a super political action committee (PAC) backing his independent presidential campaign closely resembled one from his uncle John F. Kennedy's 1960 presidential campaign.
The ad, produced by American Values 2024, closely mirrored the original campaign commercial for JFK and his running mate Lyndon B. Johnson. The new commercial replaced JFK's face with RFK Jr.'s and urged viewers to "Vote Independent."
