RFK Jr. Slammed For Posing With McDonald's Meal After Vowing To Make America Healthy Again
HuffPost
The uproar over the viral photo comes just days after President-elect Donald Trump nominated Kennedy as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is facing scrutiny after he was photographed dining on a McDonald’s meal and drinking a Coca-Cola with President-elect Donald Trump while flying on his “Trump Force One” jet over the weekend.
In the photo that’s been making the rounds on X, formerly called Twitter, Kennedy — Trump’s nominee for secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services — is seen sharing a greasy smorgasbord of processed foods and sugary sodas with Trump, Elon Musk, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Donald Trump Jr.
In the snapshot posted Sunday by Trump Jr. on the social media platform, Kennedy, who spoke of the importance of staying in shape during his presidential campaign this year, dons a concerned look on his face as he holds up a hamburger.
“Make America Healthy Again starts tomorrow,” Trump Jr. captioned the post alongside three American flag emojis.
The uproar over the photo comes just days after Trump vowed in a Nov. 14 post on X that Kennedy would “help make America great and healthy again” by protecting the country from “harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products and food additives.”
