RFK Jr. super PAC reboots vintage JFK ad for Super Bowl commercial

American Values 2024, the super PAC supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent presidential bid, aired a super Bowl ad replacing JFK with RFK Jr.

American Values 2024, the super PAC supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent presidential bid, aired an ad during Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday night rebooting a commercial aired during the 1960 presidential campaign for the candidate’s uncle, former President John F. Kennedy.

The ad substitutes photos of RFK Jr. for photos of his uncle while keeping the same jingle.

The $7 million ad, which flooded television screens across America in the second quarter of the game, sought to tie RFK Jr. to his storied family, even as some of his relatives have publicly disavowed his candidacy over his anti-vaccine opinions.

In a statement to ABC News, the super PAC’s co-chair Tony Lyons said, in part, “RFK Jr. offers us real change along with freedom, trust and hope. Like his uncle and his father, Kennedy is a corruption-fighter, and it’s no wonder the DNC is trying every old trick and inventing new tricks to stop him. The public sees through it all and won’t stand for it.”
