Independent candidate for president Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK) has issued an apology to a handful of family members offended by the content of a political ad run at the Super Bowl.

According to Tony Lyons, the co-chairman of the super PAC, American Values 2024, it paid $7 million for the ad that ran nationally just before halftime of the game. The 30 second video drew heavily on the 1960 presidential campaign of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s uncle, former President John F. Kennedy.
