2024 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the reason he apologized to his family over a campaign Super Bowl ad was that he knew it would “irritate” some of his family members.

The apology Kennedy issued on Monday was in response to a 2024 campaign ad modeled in the same style as a 1960 campaign ad for his uncle, former President John F. Kennedy. Kennedy explained some of his family members do not support his presidential run and that the ad was created by a Kennedy super PAC, not Kennedy’s campaign.
