Kennedy Jr. was hammered Monday after video of him being escorted by security officials amid the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting on Saturday went viral, in which the HHS secretary was seen being tailed by his wife, Cheryl Hines.“RFK Jr. rushed out of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday amid an active shooter situation, with his security team around him, but left his wife scrambling on her own behind him,” wrote Zeteo reporters Preem Thakker and Andrew Perez in the outlet’s report Monday. “Not a good look, Bobby.”The shooting sparked chaos at the Washington Hilton hotel in Washington, D.C., with Secret Service officials rushing President Donald Trump off stage, as well as other top administration officials and lawmakers.
