It's OK, buddy. Martin Sheen didn't come to my birthday party either.

It was shaping up to be a real Fyre Festival of a bday party.

[Dionne] Warwick was the first to respond on X, denying she was going and calling the PAC's announcement "absolutely ridiculous."

Soon afterward, Martin Sheen, who played the president on the TV series "The West Wing," took to Instagram.

"I do not endorse RFK Jr. nor will I be attending his party," Sheen said. He added that he's "whole heartedly supporting Joe Biden and the Democratic ticket in 2024."

Cripes so they just said a bunch of people who definitely weren't coming were coming and now that they're not we're taking our ball and going home? Classy.

Is it stuff like this that makes people think trump is a strong man, say what you want I doubt he would have given up so pathetically

Why does this sound like a cheesy teen movie? The kind where the protagonist tries to throw a party and claims some celebrity will be there. Then, when everyone decides to come, the protagonist has to attempt to get the celebrity to actually appear.

Only in the cheesy teen movie, the celebrity would make a surprise appearance at the end. In RFK Jr's version, all the celebrities laugh in his face and he's left sad and alone.

Since Sheen doesn't have an X account, Bradley Whitford, who played the White House deputy chief of staff on the TV show, tweeted on Sheen's behalf.

Bartlet after receiving the invitation to the gala: What's next?

Truly. Allison Janney doing it would have also been swell.

Welp, guess that means it's about time for another West Wing binge. ❤️‍🔥🤘🏼

It’s “competency porn” comfort food. I like to escape and imagine what the world would be like if everyone were as good at their jobs as those fictional characters were at theirs…

Maybe in the next simulation, eh? This one's about dried up.

I initially read that as “blacks out” and for a moment felt a different kind of hope.

basically the exact same reason I never attend my own birthday parties

modifier ,

Why celebrate at all if no Martin Sheen?

DigitalTraveler42 ,

I don't get why this guy would think that President Josiah Bartlett would show up for him.

However to be rejected by Charlie Sheen's dad has to burn.

He tried to do that crazy jacket maneuver and threw out his shoulder. He’s 83 after all. 

modifier ,

That maneuver is a result of a childhood injury. Sheen's not Barlet's.

jopepa ,

Babyhood injury, IIRC he broke his shoulder being born.

Not as bad as Emilio Esteves saying 'Fuck off, poser!"

Imagine if Emilio and Billy Baldwin said no to your birthday party

    Yes that mkultra victim who shot the would be president in the back of the head from Infront of him is a true monster.

    Only the US government would be clever enough to pin it on someone with the same first and last name

    SBS was a totally cool and stable genius before MKULTRA got their hands on him!

    "If the rapist isn't coming, I'm not coming." -- RFK, Jr. (probably)

    autotldr Bot ,

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is backing out of his own birthday fundraiser gala after celebrity guests Martin Sheen, Dionne Warwick, Mike Tyson and Andrea Bocelli, who were reported to be attending, instead stated that they would skip it.

    Kennedy press secretary Stefanie Spear confirmed to CBS News that the independent candidate will not be attending the birthday event.

    Warwick was the first to respond on X, denying she was going and calling the PAC's announcement "absolutely ridiculous."

    Soon afterward, Martin Sheen, who played the president on the TV series "The West Wing," took to Instagram.

    The Kennedy campaign previously told CBS News it didn't have "anything to do with organizing this event."

    A representative for Andrea Bocelli told Rolling Stone that the Italian tenor is not singing at the gala.
