Overview
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posted an AI-generated video on his professional X account to promote his Make America Health Again agenda.
- The clip depicts a shirtless AI likeness wrestling a Twinkie mascot in a WWE-style match, narrated by Jim Ross and set to Limp Bizkit’s “Rollin.’”
- Journalists and former officials denounced the post on social media, with John Harwood calling it “clownish” and Adam Kinzinger saying “pathetic isn’t a strong enough word.”
- Commentators argued the spectacle sidesteps policy work on food safety, nutrition access, labeling, and public-health funding as many Americans face severe medical-cost burdens cited by The New York Times.
- Separate reporting highlighted Kennedy’s emphasis on nutrition while measles outbreaks have been reported in 31 states, raising broader concerns about his public-health priorities.
