Actor and comedian Rob Schneider, a resident of Scottsdale, Ariz., endorsed Democrat Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for president. 

“Inspiring, hopeful, courageous and most importantly (like his father) compassionate,” tweeted Schneider. “It’s my honor to support ⁦⁦Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.”

Schneider, 59, appeared as a cast member on Saturday Night Live from 1988 to 1994. He has appeared in more than sixty films, including “Demolition Man,” The Waterboy,” The Benchwarmers,” and “Grown Ups.”  

In 2013, Schneider announced that he was leaving the Democratic Party and becoming a Republican, saying, “The state of California is a mess, and the super majority of Democrats is not working,” reported The Washington Times. 

Fox News reported that Schneider was critical of the “COVID-19 vaccines,” quoting a tweet in which Schneider said, “Just say no…and keep saying no.”  

In December 2020, the Arizona Republic reported that Schneider and his family had moved to Scottsdale from California. In August 2022, he told the Republic that his production company, Mandolin Films is located in Scottsdale, and that his most recent film, “Daddy Daughter Trip” was filmed entirely in Arizona. 

Kennedy, Jr., who launched his presidential campaign in April 2023, is the son of former U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, and the nephew of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy. Kennedy, Jr. is currently running for the Democratic nomination for U.S. President, and is the founder of the non-profit organization, Children’s Health Defense.

In 2021, Kennedy authored the book, “The Real Tony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health.” That book, published by CHD, became a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller.
