THE wife of US Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has begged Joe Biden to \u201cprotect his life\u201d amid an escalating row over security.<\/p>\n

President Biden is facing calls to provide his Democrat rival with Secret Service protection, after an armed gunman was arrested at a RFK Jr campaign event last month.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt's at the very least, very disappointing and sad because clearly Biden is making it political\u2026 you're talking about someone's safety and someone's life. So it's highly disappointing.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now his wife, Curb Your Enthusiasm actress Cheryl Hines, has accused the President of playing politics in an exclusive interview.<\/p>\n

Cheryl, 58, pleaded: "President Biden, I understand you do not want to be running against my husband, but that is indeed what's happening.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd as a person, I'm asking you to protect his life – him and the people around him.\u201d<\/p>\n

RFK Jr, 69, admitted that he faced \u201crisks\u201d in running for the White House in an interview with The Sun on Sunday, after both his father, Robert Kennedy, and uncle, John F. Kennedy, were assassinated during their political careers.<\/p>\n

And last month the Democrat hopeful was speaking at a Hispanic Heritage Month event at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles when an armed suspect posing as a US Marshal was arrested.<\/p>\n

The September 15 incident took place less than two miles from where his father was assassinated in 1968.<\/p>\n

Cheryl said: \u201cA man showed up at the event with loaded guns and more weapons in his backpack. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd fortunately, Bobby does have security that the campaign is having to pay for, who identified that person and held them till the police came.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it's pretty shocking that after that event, Biden didn't step forward and say, \u2018OK, I understand this is an extraordinary situation.\u2019<\/p>\n

Kennedy Jr has stoked controversy for his scepticism of vaccines and America's military support for Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Cheryl, who has been married to Robert for nine years, reveals that the Presidential hopeful offered to issue a press release saying the couple had separated in order to \u201cprotect\u201d her from the backlash.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cI said: \u2018That\u2019s ridiculous! That's not a solution to anything.. So let's move away from that idea!\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cI love Bobby and yes, sometimes I get frustrated. But that's completely different than wanting to be separated from somebody.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn some regards, it was a sweet thought but misguided, like that was not the answer.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Instead Cheryl has fully supported her husband\u2019s presidential bid and is relishing the idea of becoming First Lady.<\/p>\n

She said: \u00a0\u201cI loved how much work Hillary Clinton did as a First Lady. That was very inspiring. And also Michelle Obama, very inspiring. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think I looked to them\u2026 very strong women who accomplish a lot. I find a lot of inspiration in them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been fortunate to be able to travel with Bobby. <\/p>\n

\u201cI just went to South Carolina with him. I was on the road with him for about eight days. And it was amazing. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I was really surprised by it, actually. I thought maybe it would be boring just listening to\u2026 campaign talk all the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I found it really exciting – exciting because we moved so quickly from county to county, from community to community, and really hearing people talk and what's important to them, and people showing us what they love about their town or their city.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really great. And I'm really inspired by Bobby.\u201d<\/p>\n
