During the discussion, Hines urged for a balanced view, stating, “We all have different views here.” She defended Kennedy’s inquiries during a time of uncertainty about the pandemic, emphasizing that he merely asked questions. The conversation intensified when Hostin interrupted, referencing controversial links Kennedy made between vaccinations and autism.
Response to Accusations
Hines pushed back against the allegations, highlighting the scrutiny RFK Jr. faces for his positions.

Hines concluded by emphasizing the chaotic nature of current political dialogues, highlighting that her memoir covers various facets of her experiences. She encouraged viewers to read “Unscripted” for a deeper understanding of the narratives beyond the headlines.
